Hey Lovelies!! Sorry I haven’t posted in such a long time!! But today I am back and ready!! It is getting hotter and many of you are ready to go out in the sun, but, I decided to let you know some facts and that important SPF and some great sunscreens!! So let’s begin!!
There are so many sunscreens out in the market. Some say they will defend against sun damage, others premature aging and others waterproof, and then you have the tanning lotions. What was the difference between sun block and sunscreen?? What is UVA/UVB and broad-spectrum?? Waterproof versus water resistant? The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) passed a law that ensured new and improved packaging coming out this year! You will only see water resistant for solutions that last up to 40 – 80 minutes. Broad spectrum on solutions that live up to the highest protection levels of UVA/UVB sunrays. UVA are the rays that age skin, while UVB are the rays that burn skin. Any solution that doesn’t meet the broad-spectrum level will be called UVA/UVB protection. Always look for broad-spectrum! Anything under SPF 15 will have labels that indicate a risk for skin cancer. Skin cancer is rising in the USA and is the most common cancer in the USA. You should be using at least SPF 45 every time you are in the sun! JUST REMEMBER, you can still get a tan with SPF 50, and it will be the safe way too!!
Here are some great sunscreens:
Dry or Sensitive Skin: Aveeno Protect + Hydrate Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($10): The oatmeal is great for dry and sensitive skin because it will sooth the skin while still being hydrating, nourishing, and the biggest thing of all, protecting your skin from the sun!! It soaks into the skin fast and is not oily as an added plus!!
Bronze Glow: Australian Gold Sheer Coverage Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Spray ($12): Bronzing oil, with SPF 50!! Like who doesn’t want this!! It gives a bronzy glow and does everything tanning oil does, but without the harmful part!! Water resistant for 80 minutes.
Non Aerosol Spray: Alba Botanica Very Emollient Sunscreen Sport Spray SPF 40 ($11): It does need to be rubbed in but does get sprayed evenly on the skin!! Water resistant for 80 minutes.
Sunscreen/Antioxidants: Dr. T's Supergoop Continuous Mist Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($19): The sunscreen has antioxidant vitamin C which helps to brighten skin. Natural citrus oils make this sunscreen smell oh so fresh!! Water resistant for 80 minutes.
Water Sports: Nature's Gate Aqua Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Aqua Sunscreen ($7): This sunscreen was designed for water sports. It is the thickest consistency and has a mixture of zinc oxide and chemical sunscreen ingredients for that super SPF 50. Shea butter, chamomile, and rosemary give it hydration effects. This is perfect for any person that stays in the sun and water for a long time! Water resistant for 80 minutes.
You should be able to find most of these sunscreens in the drugstore!! I hope you liked this post and I will be getting back on track with the blog posting, starting now!! Have a great day!!
