Sunscreen - Need it Every Day?

I was inspired over a lunch conversation with the fabulous Andrea to mention how important sun protection is - EVERY day!  You should be wearing a moisturizer, primer or foundation with at least SPF 15 in it daily.  Whats more, is you need to be using body lotion and hand cream with SPF in it as well! 

Our hands and forearms see the most sun, and are probably the most neglected.  This is such an important step in sun safety and beauty (after all - too much sun gives you wrinkles!) that I am going to give you many price points on products to give you the sun safety you need to start TODAY!

Bare minimum: Try a drug store brand body lotion with SPF, for about $7 you can use this one:

It works great!  I've used it for months now!

Next Step: Incorporate SPF into your face routine, some great products:
Murad, the tried and true skincare brand that started in the 70s

Oil-Free Sunblock SPF 30
This product is one of my favorites.  They make a tinted vesion too!!!  (which evens skin tone)

Are you already sun-smart and you want to graduate to even better products?  My reccomendations for

Summertime beach-worthy sunblock is Neutrogena Helioplex spf 70


also, an all natural organic solution is Josie Maran (you remember from a million Maybelliene ads, and oh yeah, her stint on dancing the stars) body lotion SPF
Argan Sun Protection For Body SPF 30+
you can buy it on Sephora.  Her Argan Oil infused products are pretty good.

If you REALLY want to spoil yourself, try Givenchy Photo Perfection Foundation with SPF (Sephora and Givenchy Retailers)
Photo'Perfexion Light Fluid Foundation
Its $50 worth of luxury!!!
