Mineral sunscreens. I feel as if they’re all that anyone is talking about right now and they’re definitely not for everyone because a lot of times they include a high concentration of zinc oxide which goes on very white. But then there’s Avene. Avene is a French brand but it’s available easily at Shoppers Drug […]

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face and Body Stick
I first wrote about this sunscreen last year, and this year I wanted something portable so I dug it out of my stash and started applying, and guys, this is STILL one of the best sunscreens out there. It’s light-weight, totally clear, and is easy to apply. You just smooth it on to arms, legs, […]
Current Foundation Situation
Layering foundation and sunscreen in the middle of the summer can be a real pain, but I’ve figured it out, and I’ll admit that it’s against the advice of dermatologists and sunscreen makers. I mix the Garnier Ombrelle sunscreen with L’Oreal Infallible Pro Matte foundation. The Foundation colour I use is 109, so it’s a […]
Mineral Sunscreen from Garnier Ombrelle
Ok, so I wrote about Neutrogena’s new mineral sunscreen which should be what we’re all using, but now I’ve come across Garnier Ombrelle’s mineral sunscreen which is tinted! Truly, I couldn’t ask for anything more, because the main issue with mineral sunscreens is that they don’t dry clear even if they’re supposed to. You can blend […]
Is Neutrogena’s New Sheer Zinc Sunscreen What We Should All Be Using?
If you’ve ever used sunscreen for kids, you’ll know that it goes on chalky and white because of the great deal of mineral suncreen ingredients in it. These are known as physical sunscreens, and they’re used instead of chemical sunscreens because they’re less likely to break down in the sun thus providing better sun protection. […]
New Live Clean Face Mineral Sunscreen Lotion
Live Clean has a mineral sunscreen that’s SPF 45, and if you want sunscreen that’s “safe”, with ingredients that are not as harmful to your body, then this is one that you want to check out. In case you’re wondering, those ingredients are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which are used in sunscreens but typically […]
A Great Sunscreen That’s Now SPF 50!
Last year, I wrote about Coppertone’s Clearly Sheer sunscreen, which goes on completely clear, and even has a matte feel to it, making sure that your skin isn’t greasy after you apply it. This year, Clearly Sheer sunscreen is available in SPF 50, in face, body, and spray formulations. Truly, the face and body formulas […]
New Vichy Ideal Sport Ultra-Light Refreshing Lotion SPF 60
New sunscreen technology means that no longer are sunscreens sticky, greasy, or heavy on the skin. Instead, they’re light and wearable, with the best formulas being suitable on the face or the body. All that is definitely true of Vichy’s new Ideal Sport Ultra-Light Refreshing Lotion in SPF 60. Formulated to be light and refreshing, […]
AlumierMD Sunscreen
On the radio this morning, a listener called in and said that if you want it to feel like summer, you should just wear sunscreen that smells like that beachy coconut scent so that you feel like it’s hot enough for it, even though it’s not. This listener obviously isn’t a regular sunscreen wearer, because […]
Indeed Laboratories inDefense30 Sunscreen
Finding a good sunscreen for the summer is essential because if you find one that you love and can afford, then there’s a good chance that you’re going to use in on the regular and prevent sun damage. The year that I said “to heck with it” one summer in Toronto and spent loads of […]
