I had a facial last week somewhere new, and of course- they
begin by asking what products I use on a daily basis. My esthetician was
shocked and horrified when I admitted that I did not use sunscreen every day (I
know!! It's terrible!). Since then I have been in an all out product frenzy to
find a moisturizer with a decent SPF. There are two reasons I can't
stand wearing sunscreen 1) the smell 2) the greasy feeling you're left with. Skin
Renew Anti Sun-Damage daily moisture lotion does such a fantastic job of
masking the smell of the sunscreen agent with a light fruity
scent, that for once in my life I looked forward to putting in on!! (I caution
you, this is not for those of you purists that hate any scent in your products.
) And with a 28 spf that covers both the uva and uvb spectrum, Skin Renew will carry you through your entire day without
the necessity to reapply. As for the greasy feeling: Garnier is better than most but I'm not sure you can get around ANY residual product unless you're using a powder
mineral makeup with spf (which I don't entirely trust) so just using one pump and following with light dust of powder instead of liquid foundation should do the
trick. Plus, since it also reduces the signs of aging- maybe all those years of
forgoing my spf can be undone?? (at least I can hope!!) ...and with a price tag of just $12.99 ---what have you got to loose besides more sun damage? Drugstore Beauty: Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew

please, if you're (notice the spelling of "you're") writing for a blog, remember to use basic proper grammar or have someone proofread your entries! it's the worst when someone write "your" when they mean "you're" (which is a conjugation of "you" and "are"). i really, really don't mean to be rude, but if your (this "your" means it belongs to you) blog is well-known, just put in that little extra effort. :)
Thanks for catching that, Katie! I will be more careful in the future =)
I really love Keihl's daily facial moisturizer with spf 15. It has mexoryl in it (since it's a L'Oreal company) so you know it's quality spf.
