A few weeks ago we discussed summer haircare protection, and I felt it only natural to address skincare protection in this post. Now, I must let you all know that I love the summer, sun, and the beaches just as much as everyone else, but sun protection is important all year round! Here are my top picks for protecting your skin:
Lavera's Anti-Aging Facial Sunscreen and Moisturizer SPF 20 is 100% mineral based, formulated with organic ingredients and is free of parabens. It protects against both UVA & UVB rays and because it's a moisturizer it can easily be worn under makeup.
For those of you with sensitive skin, I recommend Dermalogica's Super Sensitive FaceBlock SPF 30. It's mineral based, provides a broad-spectrum (UVA & UVB rays) of protection, and is ideal for easily irritated skin.
The Ultimate Sun Protection Cream SPF 55 PA+++ by Shiseido is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation. It also provides a broad-spectrum of protection. It's full of antioxidants and claims to leave no residue or stickiness.
Please keep in mind that sunscreens are available in various weights, formulas, and may react differently on various skin types. I encourage you to be patient when searching for a sunscreen that works for your skin type and remember, everyone should wear sunscreen regardless of your complexion!
