I love this stuff!!! It is so light and non greasy it is amazing! Not many people realize that when buying sunscreen for your face there are lots of things that are important.
1. You don't want to look like you have sunscreen on. The "zinc oxide" look left us in the 80's, so having a white sheen on your face from sunscreen, and worse, under your makeup is a huge no no.
2. The SPF matters. Well duh, of course it does. Except a lot of people think that an SPF of 10 that's in their foundation is just fine. It is not, that is way too LOW.
3. No one wants breakouts because they wore sunscreen. What would you choose when faced with wrinkles or zits? Neither I say. This stuff is light, oil free and it hasn't given me a single pimple.
4. I don't want to look like a grease ball. Granted this is a creamy sunscreen and it is very light, so if you have oily skin, this might be borderline. But, I don't get a super greasy face when using this, which is key. Applying my makeup over this is super easy. I don't feel like I have anything on 1 minute after I have applied it.
It's around $20, but well worth it... one of the things I love about it, is that it reminds you to apply to your face, neck and hands. Even I appreciate the reminder that those are the three places that show your age more than anywhere else. Age spots on your hands, wrinkles on your neck and face.. ICK! So next time you are stressing about your forehead creases, don't forget you neck and hands.
Tan Pretty- with Elta MD.
