Natural Beauty Inside Out
I’m a bad mommy and my boy doesn’t know it; I like to nick his sunscreen. I also like to check out new sunscreens for babies and kids, with the excuse that they’re meant for him but I always end up trying them out first. In fact, I’ve ended up just using his sunscreen at the pool many a times because I was too lazy to pack another tube. So the question that begs asking is: are sunscreens for babies and kids good enough for adults?
I have been receiving a number of emails from readers asking me to help them evaluate their choice of sunscreens; most of the questions centered around whether their product of choice offer sufficient broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. I have actually written an entry regarding the effective active ingredients in a sunscreen but today, I’ll talk about three groups of active ingredients which I consider to be the best for sunscreens.
I’m glad that many of you consider sunscreen as a routine skin care product. But a number of you are still not using sunscreen consistently. Perhaps it’s because you have not found your ideal product. Well, if you’re still searching for your perfect sunscreen, you might want to look at these 11 that are highly rated by readers at Total Beauty. Based on the readers’ reviews, these are the new generation of facial sunscreens that don’t leave a white film on the skin, won’t cause breakouts or an overly-shiny face and can be applied seamlessly over or under makeup.
In my post about wearing sunscreen when you go shopping last week, a number of you discussed about the necessity to use sunscreen indoors in the comments. Personally, I find that that is very much a personal choice but some of the comments made me pondered a little about the view towards sunscreen – even though many of us acknowledge that using sunscreen is important for our skin, how do we really view them? Are they deem as mere arsenals against the sun or they deem as skin care products to be incorporated into our daily beauty regime?
