One of the most important things to protect is your skin. In the coming months you’re sure to be spending more time in the warm weather, and that’s why it is important to look for products that include SPF (although it is equally important to slap on the SPF regardless of season!) Your face, especially eyes and lips, can burn easily, and it is also important to keep this in mind as we age and in reducing sun damage as we get older.
Here are some great beauty products with SPF worth trying:
For men, try Anthony Logistics for Men Sun Spray. The spray has a SPF 15, so you’ll remain protected while still absorbing a healthy, summer glow. Instead of being thick and greasy like most sunscreens, Anthony’s is light and infused with vitamins A, C and E. The spray also includes aloe vera, a natural soother, keeping the spray nourishing and protective at the same time. Also, it’s so lightweight men will feel comfortable applying it for walking to the office or at the beach and has a masculine, citrus scent. Or, try the line’s Sun Stick, for around the lips, eyes, and nose, to keep them from burning and peeling. Your extremities will thank you when they aren’t red and flaky, but instead, hydrated and soothed by simply using this quick conditioning stick.
Women of all ages can try Peter Thomas Roth’s Instant Mineral SPF 30, a transparent mineral powder that you apply with a brush, similar to blush. The matte prevents sunburns and skin damage, while creating an even glow. This is also a great alternative to applying sun block, and doesn’t leave a residue or greasy feeling. The compact brush makes it easy to carry in your purse and apply whenever needed, and can be applied over your favorite moisturizer. Try Peter Thomas Roth’s Max Sheer All Day Defense Moisture Lotion (SPF 30) with the line’s Instant Mineral for full protection against UVA rays and for hydration.
Murad’s Waterproof Sunblock (SPF 30) is applicable to both your face and body, but best of all is its waterproof feature! This sunscreen will provide hours of skin protection, but doesn’t leave that white residue like so many sunblocks tend to! If you don’t have the time to lay outside but want a great summer glow, try Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel. The light gel can be applied to your face and body without risking burns from the sun outside! The gel is easy to apply, but doesn’t have the strong scent or streaky look of other self tanners.
If you have kids try Blue Lizard’s sunscreens. The line is inexpensive and comes in SPF 30+ and are a favorite of dermatologists. Even better, they have a special sunscreen for sensitive skin, as well as for sport, face and classic regular. Try Blue Lizard’s Sorbolene Cream for extremely dry skin, and is just as soothing as aloe, while moisturizing cracked skin.
