If there is one product you should be using in your skincare routine every single day, it’s sunscreen. (Don’t just take it from me, ask any dermatologist.)

So in order to set the record straight, I reached out to Dr. Shereene Idriss aka the #PillowtalkDerm. She’s here to clear up any confusion you might have about reapplication, UV rays, and why you definitely don’t need a base tan.
