The Best Sun Screens
Filed Under Blog, Seasonal, Skin Care |
As summer sneaks up on us you’re no doubt getting your beach and sun gear together. As you gather all the necessities make sure that you replace any sunblock that is over six months old. When sunblock sits for more than six months it starts to lose it’s potency, accounting for hundreds of sunburns with seemingly no known cause. I had sunblock on, I don’t understand why I got burnt! You most likely had on sunblock from last summer, or worse the summer before that. Also, if you are fair skinned make sure you refresh your sunscreen every two hours, but even if you are darker this is a good idea for protection against wrinkles. Fair skins are more at risk for skin cancer, but darker skins are just as at risk for wrinkles!
If you are in need of replacing your screens these are some of my favorites. My cabinet is never without them! I am fair skinned so I have had years of experience with what works and what doesn’t. All of these also have the added benefit of leaving your skin better and softer than before you put them on. And whatever you do don’t forget to add you chicest pair of UVA, UVB block sunglasses to protect the delicate skin around your eyes from sun and squinting lines!
Alba Botanica Chemical Free Sunscreen For Sensitive Skin SPF 18 This is one of my favorite sunscreens, completely chemical free! Perfect for everyday use, this sunscreen works really well under makeup and makes your skin really soft.
Alba Botanica Organic Lavender Sunscreen SPF 30
This sunscreen makes your skin so soft and it smells wonderful, very relaxing. This formula is water resistant so its great for those days when you’re not playing hard in the water, but you want a little something extra. Also works great under makeup.
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Cooling Mist Sunblock SPF 45 One of my all time favorites, hands down! This stuff is amazing! It’s waterproof, sweatproof, and it feels so good and cooling on your skin. This sunscreen works better than any sunscreen I have ever used and extremely well in intense sun. Last year I was in southern Baja on a sail boat for ten days. Like I said I am fair skinned and the sun is much more intense closer to the equator. I used this sunscreen the whole time, reapplying every two hours, stayed cool, got no burn and actually got a better tan than I have ever had before!
Neutrogena Age Shield Sunblock SPF 45 Like the Neutrogena sunblock above this works amazingly well and is sweatproof and waterproof. I use this sunscreen on my face, particularly when I am in intense sun or am going to be in the sun all day. Both of these sunscreens have Neutrogena’s patented Helioplex™ technology that provides an unbeatable level of Broad-Spectrum UV defense (this technology was previously only available in Europe and works better than anything I’ve seen).

I too am fair skinned and use the Neutrogena sunscreens with Helioplex. Great recommendation!
