Which of These Unique Sunblocks Will Save Your Skin This Summer?

We don’t mean literally ignore sun protection.

We mean that you can literally brush on protection with a mess-free loose powder physical sunblock of SPF 50 and actives of 23.9% Titanium Dioxide and 24.1% Zinc Oxide.

Use small, circular strokes and the unscented powder appears through the brush tip in a sheer tint of fair, medium, tan, or deep.

The powder gives your skin a matte finish and is so pleasant to use, you will forget you are wearing it (but don’t forget to re-apply it every two hours)!

This is one of our new favorites!  Visit https://www.colorescience.com/

 So Pleasant So You’ll Use Them Sunblocks

Rodan + Fields Essentials Lip Shield SPF 25 ($18/2 pack)  and Essentials Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Body Sunscreen ($26 150 ml.) are two things we think really are well..essential!

Thel sunscreen is remarkably lightweight, fragrance-free and feels more like a light daily moisturizer, so it won’t make you cringe when you have to apply it.

Actives are Avobenzone 2%, Homosalate 7%, Octisalate 4%, Octocrylene 1.7%. and it’s water resistant up to 40 minutes.

This lovely sunblock also doubles as a beauty treatment, not only defending against harmful UVA and UMB rays but also featuring Vitamins C and E.

Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields, the two Stanford-trained dermatologists who created these summer essential offerings also added Dimethicone to help maintain your skin’s delicate moisture barrier, as well as emollients to help condition your skin and protect against environmental saboteurs.

Your lips are one of the most vulnerable and quick-to-burn areas of your face, and it’s often ignored.

The Rodan + Fields Lip Shield is truly pleasing, colorless and silky with actives of Avobenzone 2.5%, Homosalate 8%, Octisalate 5%, Octocrylene 2.2%

The luxurious combination of lipid molecules and peptides for a smooth lip texture; an exclusive complex of Avobenzone and colorless carotenoids to block UVA rays; as well as shea butter, avocado and sunflower seed oils for their moisturizing properties is a bargain for smooth, safe, healthy-looking lips all season long.

Vegan Natural Sunblock

 

MyChelle touts their company as the first to use anti-aging peptides, plant stem cells, and clinically proven dermatological ingredients.

But they are really loved by fans for their cruelty-free and vegan products with no GMO, Gluten, Parabens, Petroleum, Phthalates, Sulfates, Ureas, Artificial Fragrances, and Artificial Colors.

We tried the new MyChelle Sun Shield SPF 50 ($22.50 1 fl. oz.) which is available in “Nude” (we tried this) and Natural Tan”

Sun Shield is a beautifying multi-tasking oil-free protector of 100% minerals with Broad Spectrum SPF 50 and an active ingredient of 16/1%  Zinc Oxide.

Before using this, shake pump bottle and it dispenses a light liquid that blurs imperfections and helps reduce photo-aging.

Bentonite absorbs excess oil and impurities from pores so it is a bonus in the heat and humidity of Summer.

It’s not a full coverage foundation, but it’s fine for casual days, under makeup any other time.  Oh, it’s also good for all skin types!
