It’s a common fact that one of the best ways to prevent signs of aging is to wear a good sunscreen. Clinique has a new one, City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25, and it sounds like a must have for the summer!

This sunscreen is sheer, with high-level broad-spectrum UVA/UVB daily sun protection. Its formula is super lightweight and absorbs excess oil to keep makeup looking fresher! You can wear it alone, or under your makeup–it is so sheer that your makeup will go on smoothly over it! It is appropriate for the eye-area which is another plus–eye lids can get sunburned to easily, and it’s such a pain (especially when applying eye makeup!) This sunscreen is also safe for sensitive skin.

How awesome does this sunscreen sound? It’s sheer, won’t clog your pores, and gives you excellent protection from the sun! You can get it for $16.50 here.
