Korres Cucumber Hyaluronic Spray Sunscreen SPF50
It’s been extra hot this month of May, so why not give her sunscreen?

This is a new type of sunscreen for both the face and body. It has hyaluronic acid, organic cucumber extract, and panthenol to keep the skin hydrated, refreshed, and protected from dehydration caused by saltwater, heat, and the sun.
