AVEENO: active natural sunscreen for you, baby and the whole family!

As the sunscreen saga continues,today I take a look at the experience I had with the AVEENO Active Naturals continuous protection sunblock lotion for face in SPF 70.

Or as I stated in my last blog, "nearly enough protection to wear on the surface of the sun".

It's a light feel, that has dry touch technology that let's the product absorb quickly into the skin, it is safe for sensitive skin towear, and has been awarded by The Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Approval.

Now, what is setting this sunscreen apart is the formulation with active photobarrier complex which is specifically designed to deliver very high, very broad and "photostable" UVA and UVB protection.

So what does that mean to the rest of us? It will wear longer and maintain the integrity of the protection longer on your skin.

It is waterproof and since this version is created for the face, you can feel safe that it won't clog pores or create pimples.

I'm here to tell you that it is worth keeping this level of protection on your face, even though you know the rest of your body is going to get some tan and now your face will be very light.

That's why I recommend having a summer shade of foundation and your winter. My skin will literally be two shades different in foundation during the summer from my body. I use Arbonne Line Defiance in 8 during the summer, and 6 in the winter.

Go ahead, get two bottles of foundation! You're worth it!

Now, when you pick your AVEENO sunblock, remember these choices also:

-Sunblock Spray in 70-which for those of you with an active toddler this is the choice for you because you can just hose it in their direction to get it on.
-Sunblock lotion in spf 55
-Sunblock spray spf 45
-Sunblock lotion spf 30 for the face
-Sunblock lotion spf 30 or 45
and
-Sunblock lotion spf 55 for baby
A special note on this product for baby: created for babies delicate skin, has received teh American Academy of Dermatology's Seal of Recognition, is mild, safe for everyday use, waterproof and fragrance free.

All of these AVEENO products are in the $8.99-$10.99 price range and available at most national food, drug and mass merchandisers.

One more thing...for the brides who are having destination weddings, and you know you want to wear sunscreen on your face while having nuptials on the beach: sunscreen can make the face photograph whiter. It will appear to the naked eye to match and be fine, but the flash of the camer, in digital photography, will react with micronized silica and zinc based ingredients in sunscreen.

What to do?!!!
Test your bridal face with a digital camera at home in a white tshirt. If you need to create a tone darker in your makeup, use a tinted powder or an extra swish of bronzer.

Remember to layer the colors and build to the tone depth you need.
Congratulations on your wedding!
