Spring has finally sprung! It time to get outdoors and enjoy nature. But as you leave your home, there’s one beauty must you mustn’t forget – sunscreen!
When searching for sunscreen, it’s important purchase one with both UVA and UVB ray protection. Many reports claim that UVA radiation is more harmful the UVB. According to the Environmental Working Group, in 2008 only 29% of sunscreens on the market contained FDA approved UVA filters. The good news is, by the summer of 2009 that number had increased by 70%.
Here are some sunscreens for you to try this spring and summer that provide both UVA and UVB protection:
La Roche-Posay is known for their innovative sun protection products, and their Anthelios SX Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 is no exception. This is a great option for protecting and moisturizing facial skin at the same time, with one simple product.
Neutrogena is a major heavyweight in the skincare market and they continue to outdo themselves when their new products hit store shelves. Neutrogena® Spectrum+ Advanced Sunblock Lotion SPF 55, 70, & 100 is their latest product, and features their Helioplex360™ Technology, which protects skin from UVA rays, UVB rays and oxidative damage.
For those who prefer natural skin care products, you needn’t go without protection from the sun! Check out Jason Natural Sunbrella Chemical Free Sunscreen collection. The line included sunscreen products for the face, lips and body, that are PABA-free, Alcohol-free, and water resistant.
