Best Facial Sunscreen

Tuesday December 9, 2008

For those of you in the Northern hemisphere, the snow is falling, the winds are howling and the cold is biting.  Sunscreen may not be on the top of your list right now unless you’re planning a little exotic winter gateway or are coming down to Key West to get married.

For me, living in South Florida sunscreen is a must all year around.  I love the sun, the ocean and being on the boat is my favorite past time but I am deathly afraid of sunburn and the wrinkles that will follow.  I am pretty dark and really don’t want any additional sunspots, or skin cancer, so I apply sunscreen religiously.

I don’t know about you, but most sunscreens leave me with clogged pores and eventually break outs.  Obagi SPF 25 unblock is the only product my skin tolerates, the problem is the ghostly white film it leaves right after application.  It takes a good 20 minutes for the product to be absorbed and allow for a decent make-up application.  Who has time?  In all honestly in a time crunch I have skipped.

Right after my first IPL treatment my doctor gave me a sample of Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 70 and told me to use it everyday.  That sunscreen is phenomenal!!!  Voted best of beauty 2008 by Allure magazine it really lives up to its tittle and my expectations.

Like its name implies it is dry, so applying make-up right after is not an issue, and it doesn’t feel chalky at all.  It protects like a dream, I have not gotten any hint of color wherever I apply it and  it seems to last all day.  If spending an entire day at the beach or boating I would probably, just to be safe, reapply.

Highly recommend.
