You probably know that protecting your skin from the sun is one of the best ways to fight the signs of aging, but did you know that Health Canada recommends re-applying sunscreen every two hours for adequate protection? If you’d rather not redo your face from scratch just to slather on more sunscreen, try one of these makeup friendly options for topping up your SPF throughout the day.
