I’m a fan for a few reasons: the scent – amazingly citrus-y without being overpowering; the look – it has a little bit of a glow to it so it looks great as a base under makeup or even without makeup which I tend not to wear in hot weather and this adds a little something-something to bare skin making it look more even and glowy; and the feel – a little thicken then a water cream but not thick-thick which my skin does not want during the summer – a good amount of moisture without the heft!
