Beauty: In Search of a Cruelty Free Sunscreen

Going cruelty free had several unexpected benefits for me, besides feeling good about my beauty choices. The first thing I noticed is that my beauty routine was simplified. Since, I was no longer using a million products, it didn't take me as long as it used to in getting ready. Second, it's saving me a lot of space in my bathroom. It's nice not seeing a lot of products lining my shelf or on the counter. Third, it's saving me money. As a former beautyaholic, I used to buy a lot of products and I mean a lot. I was so used to buying the latest product to see if it would work or do something different. But now that I'm sticking to a small group of products, I find myself with more money to save.

My beauty routine might be simplified but there is a product I realized I don't currently have and that's sunscreen. I had been using up the last sunscreen I bought prior to going cruelty free but now that it's gone I need a new one. I've been doing a little research and found three that interest me which are:
