You don't need a lecture on the importance of SPF (been there, done that).

You could, however, benefit from a sunscreen hack that saves time and doesn't mess with your makeup in the a.m.

Most mornings you're in a rush, so you're lucky if you properly wash your face, let alone get it slathered in a shield of sunscreen. Even if you swear by a daily application like Jennifer Aniston and other seemingly ageless celebs, a traditional SPF adds a heavy, filmy residue that sometimes is not ideal for layering makeup over. 

So how do you make sure you're covered? Well, if you're Jordana Brewster, you enlist a handy little product called waterlight sunscreen.

Just like your usual heavier sunscreen, it protects against harsh rays but layers oh-so-much better under makeup. In fact, it's so feather-light that you can mix it right in with your foundation or moisturizer for a seamless application. "In the morning, I like to mix a little Lancer Sheer Fluid Sun Shield with my favorite Armani foundation for the perfect coverage," spilled the actress.

So this summer, whether you're looking to simplify your SPF routine or just start incorporating a protective layer all together, a waterlight sunscreen is the answer to your wake-up-and-go dreams.
