Sun Shine Shield

It may be dreary and rainy but before you know it, it will be sun- drenched summer and having a supply of sunblock is a smart move. Neutrogena has several new offerings, including Age Shield FACE Sunblock, SPF 90+ (that is not a typo) with Helioplex,. This is an advanced sunscreen that states it shields skin 6 layers deep from UVA rays, which age the skin. It also fights free radicals that can speed up the signs of aging and is oil-free and non greasy.

Also available is Neutrogena’s Ultimate Sport—SPF 55 Sunblock, also with Helioplex. This one is ultra-sweat proof and water proof and is available as a lotion or convenient spray.

And, made for kids, but anyone can use it—Waterguard, an SPF 70+ spray that is waterproof, rub-proof and yet is oil-free. Spray sunscreen is a fast way to protect your skin from the welcome and warm, yet damaging, rays of the sun.

Sunblock Mental Block?

Sunscreen should be on your face every day. But do you apply it each morning? What blocks you from using sunblock?

Here is one you will want to put on—Clinique City Block Sheer SPF 25. This is a lightweight, subtly tinted, oil-free member of the City Block family is even easier to layer and more sheer on skin than ever before. New to the formula are moisture wicking fibers and a specific extract sourced from algae that help reduce excess oil on skin’s surface. These moisture wicking fibers help repel perspiration and help makeup stay-put.

This advanced, 100% physical (non-chemical) formula is perfect for people who cannot tolerate daily use of chemical sunscreens, all while providing anti-oxidants and anti-irritants one expects from the City Block line.

City Block glides on easily and feels very light on the face. With its subtle tint, it seems to act as a kind of primer for the other products that follow. When you use City Block you are getting not only an effective sunscreen that is good for your skin, you are getting your face ready for the other special effects you have planned for it. Do your face a favor by using Clinique’s City Block 25 or Super City Block SPF 40, which gives you even more protection but still feels light on your skin. It's also smart to use sunblock, or at least sunscreen, on your hands. They show the signs of sun damage sometimes before your face does. Maybe wearing some kind of gloves year 'round isn't such an antique idea.
