Beauty: The Best Sunscreen
It’s late summer and style news is thin these days. I don’t write about beauty products very often because honey, you’re gorgeous the way you are. But sometimes we need a little assistance or just a bit of pampering. Time for a series of beauty posts.
My pick for the best all-over sunscreen is Kiss My Face Sunblock SPF 30. It doesn’t make me paler like white sunscreens do. It sprays smoothly and requires just a quick swipe of the hand to close the holes between spritzes. And it’s fragrance-free. It claims to be waterproof but I always reapply after swimming. Bonus: I can wear multiple layers of this SPF without it gobbing up and flaking off. I appreciate that the bottle holds several applications but isn’t enormous — unless it’s champagne I don’t want to tote a big bottle of anything.
I use a special SPF for my face. I’ll talk about that tomorrow. Now, for the preaching: you gotta use sunscreen everyday. On your neck, chest, arms, tops of hands, anything exposed. If you have a sunroof or convertible, be extra vigilant. Women’s chests get a lot of sun damage from exposure caused by V-necks and other low necklines. Just ask me, who did some damage one summer running around town doing errands for my job in skimpy tops.
