Today I’m going to discuss another important health and beauty issue.

Sunscreen. Without it, you are at risk of developing wrinkles, burns, and cancer. Three things that people generally steer clear of.
Protection from the sun is important on your whole body, but today I am going to focus on the face. One of the facial moisturizers I like is Neutrogena Healthy Defense because it isn’t as greasy as normal sun block and will also help prevent your skin from drying out.

An issue I sometimes find with facial sunscreen is that I like to wear foundation, and when the weather is gross outside, the last thing you need is many layers of goop on your face. Additionally, if you’re active and sweating, some sunscreens can sweat off, which is definitely no bueno. To solve this, I like to use foundation or powder foundation with SPF.
My all-time favorite drugstore liquid foundation is L’Oreal Infalliable Make-Up. It hold for 18 hours, and will not sweat off or even come off in the pool, but is easily removed with a cleanser. It also has an SPF 20 which will protect your face in lieu of a sunscreen. I use this product daily.

However, if you tend to have sensitive skin or breakout easily but still want to wear foundation, I recommend a powder. My favorite is bareMinerals Original SPF 15 foundation.

This is definitely a splurge, but is well worth it. In high school I was very acne prone and this foundation really helped me save face. Literally. Sorry for the bad pun.
I will definitely be including products with SPF in future posts, as this is something that really makes a difference in your overall look for years to come. For those with fair skin or family histories of skin cancer, this is especially important.
Until next time, stay cool, and be hot.
