Do you always make sure apply sunscreen each and every time you walk out the door? Sadly not every one does. Even with all the warnings about skin cancer people still take that risk and go out in the sun with nothing protecting their skin from the harmful rays of the sun.
In addition to causing skin cancer the sun can cause your skin to wrinkle and premature aging.
When I was a teen and a young adult sunscreen never crossed my mind. In fact as a teen I would slather baby oil on my skin and lie out in the sun. Looking back on that now I want to cry. Because of my ignorance I have had to have six “suspicious” moles removed from my back. That was painful!
Over the years I have tired many sunscreens. I have found several great sunscreens for my body, but it’s not as easy to find sunscreen for your face. I find that most facial sunscreens clog my pours, make my face break out and make my skin feel sticky or weighed down.
I had the opportunity to try a sunscreen that was made specifically for your face. It’s called SmartShield’s Rehydrating Face Cream. It has an SPF of 45.
Not only does SmartShield Rehydrating Face Cream protect against UVA/UVB rays, it’s also sweat resistant and oil free.
Unlike other facial sunscreens, SmartShield doesn’t weigh your skin down. It’s not stick or greasy either. It goes on a lot like a regular facial moisturizing lotion.
As per SmartShield “Our sunscreen formula has no noticeable “sunscreen feel”, even after multiple applications.” I would have to agree with that.
I have not used SmartShield to go swimming but I have worn it to spend many hours walking around New York City and other “outdoor adventures” with my family where we wore sunscreen. I used regular sunscreen on my body (whatever we had handy) and SmartShield on my face. So far I have not experienced any sunburn so I can only assume it’s working.
I apply SmartShield Rehydrating Face Cream on a clean face. Once it dries (which is quickly) I then apply make up like I normally would. I tend not to wear a lot of make up during the summer months. Usually it’s some mineral make up (powder), eye liner and mascara.
SmartShield is hypoallergenic, safe for all skin types and dermatologist-approved.
I like that SmartShield not only protects my skin but doesn’t make my skin feel gross after I apply it. I also don’t feel the need to quickly wash my face off the moment I step in the door. Sometimes I forget I’m even wearing sunscreen.
