Keep your skin beautiful and healthy with sunscreen

As the weather gets nicer we need to start thinking more about sunscreen.  While we should be wearing sunscreen all year, it is especially important when the sun's rays get more direct during the spring and summer.  There are literally hundreds of different types and brands of sunscreen out there, but here are just a few that come highly recommended.

Coola Organic Makeup Setting Spray is a double duty product.  It both a setting spray and a sunscreen in one.  It has cucumber and aloe to soothe skin, hyaluronic acid for hydration and SPF 30 for skin protection.  Plus the spray bottle makes it easy to apply and touch up every few hours.

You might not always need to worry about setting your makeup, especially if you are the active type.  If this is you, then the Neutrogena CoolDry Sport Sunscreen Stick is for you.  In addition to the SPF 50 it has a property that allows sweat to evaporate so you stay cool.  Neutrogena sunscreen also contains Helioplex technology which is considered the gold standard of broad-spectrum protection.  Being in a stick form is super convenient so you won't be bothered when you have to reapply (which you should do every 80 minutes of activity), plus it won't drip into your eyes when you sweat.

If you are looking for a sunscreen that also provides some skin loving ingredients then the Dr. Jart+ Every Sun Day UV Sun Fluid is worth a try.  Not only does it have SPF 30 to block out damaging UV rays, but it also keeps the microscopic particles in pollution from
coming into contact with your skin.  This one is especially good if you are darker skin as it doesn't leave a white residue making your look ghostly.

My last two options are drugstore options.  One for those who like a spray and one for those who like a lotion.  The Australian Gold X-Treme Sport is a spray gel with SPF 50.  The spray makes it easy to apply and the gel formula clings to your skin and isn't runny.  Banana Boat SunComfort Lotion is another skin clinger and it has SPF 50+.  It also adds a little hydration to your skin.  As a bonus it lasts up to 80 minutes in the water.
