Shiseido Urban Environment Fresh-Moisture Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 42

Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "Shiseido - Urban Environment Fresh-Moisture Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 42" can provide reliable sun protection. We love that it can protect from both UVA and UVB rays (not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).

It also works as a moisturizer, so you do not have to use an additional hydrating product. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.
