SUNCREEN! We have to remember to utilize sunscreen whenever we get ready in the morning especially if we are going to be outside for the day. The glorious Santa Barbara Sun has been out for sometime now and protecting our skin is a must. My easiest recommendation is to get a moisturizer that has built in SPF, to mix a lightweight sunscreen and your favorite moisturizer, or to use make-up that has a good SPF in it.
My personal favorites are Eminence's Tomato Sun Cream SPF 16, Jurlique's Sun Lotion SPF 30+, and La Bella Donna Loose Mineral Powder SPF 20.
This Zinc Oxide natural sun protectant lotion is a soothing non-greasy moisturizer. The properties include tomato which is rich in antioxidants, aloe vera for hydrating and restoring complex, as well as orange oil to smooth the skin. This SPF 16 moisturizer is broad spectrum which includes UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. Yes there is such a thing as UV-C and it is short wave lengths and is of equal if not more danger of the other two UV's.
This is an ultra-light sun lotion. It's non-greasy formula is light weight and can be combined with any moisturizer that fits your skin. It can also be used by itself because of Avocado and Jojoba oils which are very hydrating to the skin. Titanium Dioxide is the main sun protectant in this sun lotion.
Lastly, I have fallen in LOVE with La Bella Donna Mineral Make-up. This make-up is great for all skin types and comes in loose powder which is SPF 30 from Titanium Dioxide. This powder is wonderful because it not only is a sun protectant but it provides fabulous foundation and concealer as well. This powder is not absorbed into the skin. It strictly stays on your skin and is water resistant. There are many shades to choose from and we will assist you in finding one that matches your skin perfectly.
