Stores Selling Neutrogena sunscreen

Ahh... its officially Winter once we get a fresh blanket of powder!If you are a frequent reader of the Smarter Beauty blog then you might have heard me mention that I am as pale as the driven snow. Not albino or red head pale, but the palest an Asian chick can get without actually being dead.Since those are the genetic cards God dealt me I was never really into sun bathing or lounging poolside for hours on end. Not my cup of java, however I do love the snow!The worse sunburn I ever received was on a trip to  Mammoth. Since I know I burn like a match stick in the summer sun I am always very mindful of applying and re-applying sunscreen to the facial. I am unfortunately not as proactive about my sunscreen application via overcast snow situations. Well 3 layers of skin on my nose and a pair of permanent goggle tan lines later - LESSON LEARNED! Never again!So for you fellow snow bunnies out there, I just wanted to remind you to put the zinc on the nose and layer up on the sunscreen on the facial this snow season.My top pick is: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen in SPF55Even for you sun bathers you should try Neutrogena's sunblock. It is completely non-greasy, feels light and doesn't alter the color of your complexion. (My mom use to bath me is this sunscreen that made my already pasty toosh even paler, if you can believe it..). Plus it doesn't smell medicinal, doesn't bleed into your eyes and blind and burn you. All perks!Plus its super affordable! ---- > $10 bucks If you are interested in purchasing the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock, click here.  If you have another sunscreen favorite shop for discounted sunscreen offers here.  I will leave you with this picture of my best friend Nat getting some sweet air! :) You're welcome bro... ... more

Did you know that not all sunscreens protect against both UVB rays (the burning ones) and UVA rays (the aging ones)? These are strong year-round and the biggest culprit for skin cancer. In fact, SPF just refers to the level of UVB protection, so unless the sunscreen you're buying says "broad-spectrum" on it or comes with a PA ranking (the equivalent to SPF for UVA protection), your skin is not being properly protected. Luckily, after 33 years, the FDA has finally cracked down on sunscreen labeling and announced some new rules (it's about time!). Major brands have a year to revise their labels, while smaller ones have two years.Among the changes:-Sunscreens must protect equally against UVB and UVA to be labeled as “broad spectrum."-SPF values can no longer be higher than 50 as there isn't sufficient evidence to prove that SPF values higher than 50 give more protection.-Only broad spectrum products with an SPF of 15 or higher can claim to help prevent sunburn and reduce the risks of skin cancer and early skin aging.-Brands can no longer claim their products are waterproof or sweatproof, but they will be allowed to claim in minutes the amount of time in which the product is water resistant (based on test results).-Products can’t claim to provide more than two hours of protection without re-application.There is some evidence that shows that sprays may not be as effective as creams so, for now - to be on the safe side - opt for a cream, despite the convenience offered by sprays, and don't forget to re-apply every two hours.Looking for some reliable sunscreens?
