I love the sun, but countless dermatologists tell me that it does not love me back. Scared straight by roughly 3,654 hours of sun-protection presentations, I now love the sun from afar, under a veil of broad-spectrum SPF 30.
The newest addition to my SPF arsenal is this rare eye cream–sunscreen hybrid. The cream is rich without being cloying, and comes in a light pinky-nude color that contains the tiniest number of light reflectors, so you get a little bit of that Touche Éclat–like radiance. But the main draw is the sun protection. It’s hard to find an eye cream with sunscreen that doesn’t leave a white or gray cast on the skin, slide all over your face, or leave your under-eye area dry like toast. This avoids those problems, simply and easily, and allows me to enjoy the sun without disappointing my dermatologist.
