Long gone are the days when using an SPF 4 tanning spray was acceptable (if you&#8217;re still doing it, please stop), but technology has come very far and this dry oil SPF is proof. Not only will it promote healthy skin (and even promote a healthy glow), but it will actually protect your skin and is magic for the SPF-phobes.
