5 things I wish I knew about sunscreen

I wanted to thank Olay for partnering with me on this post, helping me take control of my daily sun care routine and teaching me a few things along the way!SO I’m really embarrassed to admit that I’ve never really been regimented when it comes to sunscreen and sun protection in general. Growing up it wasn’t something my parents were really concerned with and I also thought having darker skin automatically protects you from the sun (not really sure where I got that idea from?).
