One of the easiest ways to preserve your skin is to wear sunscreen every time you plan to head outdoors (no excuses!). If you think to yourself, “I’m just running out for a few minutes, OR “I’ll be protected in the car”…Think again! Sun damage can still occur from simply walking to and from your car unprotected over time. A sunscreen I’m currently in love with (thanks to my fab Aesthetician Jessica) is MDSolarSciences SPF 30 Mineral Tinted Gel. It’s lightly tinted and is a Broad Spectrum UVA-UVB Sunscreen. This product is a physical block which means that the active ingredients of Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide actually block the sun’s rays (most sunscreens are chemical blocks, which means that their active ingredients absorb the rays).
Pros
Feels super smooth on the skin
Serves as a great primer for foundation
Under $25
Very water-resistant
Works well for acne and rosacea prone skin
Leaves the face feeling matte
Looks great when worn alone
Cons
Due to its water resistance, it is slightly difficult to remove
If you haven’t been wearing sunblock on a daily basis, it’s time to start NOW! Does anyone have a favorite sunblock?
Do you think it would be good for my sensitive skin? Can you recommend a good body sunblock? One that isn’t on the “bad” list!
It works very well for sensitive skin!

Thanks for posting this, I know too many women who don’t use sunblock and the damage definitely catches up with them later in life
Yes it does! Sunscreen is an absolute must, even if you plan to be indoors for most of the day!
