I can’t believe there was ever a time I didn’t use sunscreen. Then again, I don’t leave the house much or go outside. So is there really a need for sunscreen? I’m just kidding. But now that I’m going to Mexico, sunscreen has been on my mind a lot lately because this girl is gonna burn (baby burn). Sunscreen is so important regardless whether you’re spending the whole day in the sun or you’re just out and about running errands. After-all, the biggest cause of aging is the sun, not to mention the sun also increases your risk for skin cancer. So let’s protect our skin okay?
But not all sunscreens are made equal. First of all, regardless of what number SPF it is, you have to ensure it protects against both UVA andUVB rays. That means the packaging of the sunscreen should should a symbol of UVA + UVB with a circle around the A! That’s how you know there’sbroad spectrum sun protection in your sunscreen! Secondly, there’s quite a few different textures of sunscreens! There’s gels, lightweight lotions, thick moisturizing creams and everything in between!
But one that’s a absolutely fantastic texture is the new Vichy Idéal Soleil Sport Sunscreen. It’s so lightweight on the skin and instantly absorbs once you rub it in. There’s none of that sticky white residue left behind. Plus it’s super refreshing and cooling on the body so you will love applying this in the hottest of weather. It makes applying sunscreen a treat! And because it’s a sport sunscreen that is specially formulated for outdoor activities, it’s80 minutes water & sweat resistance so you don’t have to worry about getting one of those really bad burns from all that water reflection! Those are the worst.
But probably the nicest thing about this sunscreen is that it hasWet skin Technology, meaning it can be applied on wet or dry skin. Yes, your skin can be soaking wet and you can slap this sunscreen on and it will still absorb effortlessly! That’s life changing. Imagine you’re in the pool and 80 minutes is up. You don’t have to towel dry your whole body just to apply another layer of sunscreen. You can just quickly hop out, put the sunscreen on and jump back in. Easy peasy. Lemon squeezy.
