When a BB Cream meets an SPF… A little love story

  Once upon a time… well, we all know how the story goes. Boy meets girl, girl has amazing skin, boy falls head over heels and off they go, setting off into the sunset. And behind the scenes of the fairy tale, if the girl doesn’t  have perfect skin, it’ll easily be faked with a touch of BB cream.

These las few weeks, sun or no sun, the Sisley Youth Protector Face SPF 50* has been the last step every morning before heading out the door.
