Your One Summer Essential

We’ve heard this a million times over: apply sunscreen every single day, even when it’s cloudy out. It’s a proven fact that the sun is the culprit for 90% of all wrinkles on the face. Now, I’ve spent years and years finding a sunscreen that doesn’t feel like Crisco and think I’ve succeeded with Neutrogena’s Ultra-Sheer, Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 30. The formulation is delightfully lightweight and feels like lotion on the skin. Not to mention, the wonder cream works well under makeup too…it’s also Rose Mc Gowan’s favorite!! Another fantastic SPF product is Olay Complete SPF 30 in their sensitive skin version--it’s also very light and won’t irritate the skin. I’ve heard from several dermatologists (with perfect, lineless complexions!) that this is their favorite sun block! With sunscreen (and a lot of other beauty products, for that matter), you don’t need to spend more for better quality. Look for a formula that has broad spectrum, UVA and UVB protection, and one that is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores.
