SPF for Everyone!

Monday, May 28th, 2012

Sunscreen. One of the most confusing skincare products out there, there are about 5 million kinds of it on the market (kidding), and it can be hard to figure out the right kind for your skin. This is a guide to the right sunscreen for you.

  • I use Ulta SPF 100 Dry Touch Sunscreen Lotion on my body and Ulta SPF 80 Dry Touch Faces Sunscreen Lotion on my face. They protect really well and don’t smell obnoxious like other sunscreens I’ve tried do.
  • For people who don’t burn as easily as I do, I recommend Neutrogena SPF 55 Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock. It leaves absolutely NO residue on your skin and doesn’t go on greasy.
  • Even if you have darker skin, still wear some kind of sunblock. Do an SPF 15 or 30 sunscreen, like Neutrogena’s.
  • Don’t forget your lips! Use a lip balm or gloss to prevent burns on your lips.

Hello Summer!

Swimsuits, tanks, and little short shorts. Summer’s coming, fashionistas, and you should think about stocking up for the sunny times ahead. I like Victoria’s Secret for cute little shorts and tanks. Target is cool for sandals, swimsuits and tees. Some of their girl’s suits come with SPF, which is a fringe benefit of their cute swim collection. I also love Lands End for swim because any girl can find a flattering suit for a good price. These are some summer style recommendations, but if you find any other fab places to shop, tell me!
