Well we all know that we should be wearing sunscreen ALL
the time. In fact, you can barely buy a
foundation or facial lotion that doesn’t have some level of SPF in it. But how many of us really reapply? That’s the
real question. We can’t help but wear it
every day, but when you’re sweating and/or swimming outside, do you really take
the time to apply more than just once?
As you all have read before, I’m not what you call a couch
potato. I hike, run, surf even
garden. I’m an outdoor kinda girl. I love being in the sun and feel energized
when I’m in it. As I get older I can see
the importance of taking care of my skin.
Besides it’s flattering at my age to still get carded in a bar. So what do I use to protect my face (and well
my body too) when I’m out and about?

One of my all time favorites is from a little company called
Sun Putty based in New York (www.sunputty.com). They use all natural ingredients that don’t
harm the environment and seep into our waters.
I’ve heard friends say; oh I don’t want to put sunscreen on my face
because I don’t want to break out.
Really? That’s probably the
lamest thing I’ve ever heard. As zinc
oxide as their active ingredient they also use their special combination of ingredients like
andiroba oil, copaiba balsam oil and cupuacu oil that aid in keeping your skin
free from blemishes and help renew and protect your skin from drying out. This stuff is amazing! I will use it when I surf and it doesn’t come
off. I feel like I’m protected the whole
time.. wave after wave!.jpg)
My newest find though is from a company called KINeSYS
Performance Sunscreen (www.kinesys.com). I like this product because it’s a spray, not
an aerosol, but a spray which means it’s alcohol-free. Its light oil spray gently goes on and
protects and doesn’t run. Typically I
wear this when I run in the afternoon.
Even with all the sweatiness, it doesn’t run in my eyes. My kids even like this one because it’s not
cold when I spray it on unlike the aerosols.
I know what you’re thinking, a spray oil? Isn’t that going to stain my bathing suit or
clothes with the overspray? Nope! The properties in this sunscreen do not leave
behind any oily substance. Not to
mention the smell is not your typical coconut smell. The people at KINeSYS decided to choose a
different tropical smell, mango… oh yeah… yummy!
Have a fun filled weekend friends and remember if you love
‘em, cover ‘em!
Cheers!
