Sunscreen in Winter?
Anti-aging products may help plump up skin that's already wrinkled, but suncreen protects against future damage to the skin. It protects your skin from the aging and burning rays of the sun which is why I call it the real fountain of youth. Suncreen should be worn everyday, not just on the beach or during the summer months. Both UVA an UVB rays can poke through clouds, so protect your largest organ from wrinkles and sun damage with a dollop of sunscreen everyday.
I know I've been skimping on the updates lately, so I'm going to make it up to you all with a brand new product review! Here goes!
I got a free sample of Murad Waterproof Sunblock SPF 30 with my latest order from Sephora.com
. So, I decided to hold off on my usual Coppertone Ultrasheer Sunscreen SPF 45 ($10)
and give this Murad stuff a try.
A full size (4oz.) bottle of Murad's sunblock is $27. Is this sunscreen really worth all of your hard earned pretty pennies (in this case, tons and tons of pennies)?
...Absolutely not!...
Where do I begin? Just the smell of this stuff scared me. It smells like medicine masked by essential oils. Yup, there are oils in this sunscreen and oils can clog pores, even essential oils. Not only does it smell bad, it's greasy and leaves a nasty film behind. The only good thing I have to say about Murad's sunscreen is that it did protect my skin from the sun. I can buy stinky yet effective sunscreen from the dollar store! I'll definitely be sticking to my Coppertone Ultrasheer Sunscreen, SPF 45 ($10). It's not greasy or smelly and full of vitamins and antioxidants. The best part about Coppertone's sunscreen is that it's only 10 bucks and comes in a bigger bottle (6oz.)! Thank goodness for effective, inexpensive sunscreen! Woohoo!
