Things I Love Today: New Sunblock

There’s a new contender in my quest for the perfect sunblock! Margaret brought me a bottle of Banana Boat SunWear Faces on Sunday night.

It smells great (a light coconut). The oil-free formula dries quickly, so your make-up isn’t instantly sliding off on top of it. And it comes in either 30 or 50 SPF.

I have had good luck with Aveeno products. I find my skin is more sensitive now…might help you.

I use clinique’s sun screen and love it. If you use their products you can sometimes score some during bonus time.

a dermatologist friend recommended a brand called Blue Lizard. I haven’t tried it yet, but I will as soon as my current bottle runs out.

Thanks for the tip. The oily stuff drives me nuts, but I burn in 2 seconds.

My dermatologist friend recommends the Oil Free Neutrogena, which I have tried and really like. She also recommends Blue Lizard, but I haven’t tried it yet. It is quite a bit pricier than the Neutrogena stuff.
