The Best Sunscreens:
Protecting your skin for summer.

The warm weather has started approaching, so it is important that you are protecting your skin! Healthy skin is clean, moisturized/hydrated, and protected. I want to highlight some of the best sunscreens so that you can ensure your skin is protected from harmful UV rays.



1. This has SPF 50 and has been chosen as the best for protecting your skin. This is particularly great for kids.

2. Coming in at #2 is Neutrogena Age Shield. This oil-free lotion is great for applying under make-up and has SPF 110. 

3. Next is La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Light Suncreen Fluid. This is SPF 60 and is also great for applying under make-up.

4. The #4 spot goes to another Aveeno product. This has 50 SPF and is perfect for protecting AND hydrating. 

5. #5 is Coppertone Kids. It has 50 SPF and is water resistant which is perfect for protecting kids.

6. Last is another Coppertone product: Coppertone Sport. This is water resistant as well and is the perfect sunscreen for protecting someone who is active. It is 50 SPF as well.

Beauty is Skin Deep

We have all heard the phrase "beauty is skin deep." But how you take care of your skin is important. 

Our skin is exposed to dirt, oil, sweat, UV rays, and other harsh elements on a daily basis. It is essential that you are giving your skin the 5 star treatment. 

I know this post goes a little off of the fitness path, but feeling confident makes you feel good. 

I will be posting my all-star skincare team that keeps my skin healthy and beautiful. 

Fresh Face

The start of healthy skin comes from keeping it clean. You want to remove all dirt, sweat, and makeup that could clog pores. My skin is naturally oily and sensitive, so I am very picky with products I use on my skin. I have found the Simple Foaming Face Wash to be my favorite. It has no harsh chemicals that could irritate my skin. It gives me the fresh, clean feeling I want. And it is not expensive! 

S.O.S

Saving Our Skin. Keeping your face moisturized is extremely important. We are exposed to harmful UV rays that can be damaging to your skin. Applying sunscreen to your face every day can lower the intensity of the rays and better protect your skin. I also feel that it is never too soon to be using wrinkle cream. I have found this cream and I love it! It keeps my face moisturized, it smells fresh, and it does not make my already oily skin more oily. I apply this every night before I go to bed to keep my skin smooth, moisturized, and fresh. And once again, it is a great price for all of you who are money savers like myself!

Natural Glow

For those who like to wear makeup, it is important that you get a makeup that makes your skin look good and is good for your skin. The new Maybelline foundation "Fit Me!" is incredible. It gives great coverage without clogging my pores. For those of you with skin imperfections, this is a great coverup. To start, I recommend using the "Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser". This is a good primer before putting on foundation  that will help minimize pores. Next, I use the "Fit Me!" foundation. I apply it with a concealer brush to give more even coverage. And lastly,  I use a pouf to apply the "Fit Me!" face powder. By buffing the powder on your face, you give your face a polished look that will last longer. Great price AND great for your skin. 

 

Being healthy means giving your skin the "nutrition" it needs, so stay beautiful :)
