Finally a face and body sunblock!

I currently use sunblock only on my face. So far I’ve used face sunblocks from Loreal and Skin Food (read earlier entry on sunblocks here). I never use them on the body and whenever I travel to beaches or have outdoor activities, I either don’t use any or if a friend brings some, I would just take up the offer for some. Most of the time, sunblocks for the body are sticky and they feel funny on my skin. Not to mention the scent too.

I’m headed outdoors in about 3 weeks time, a company trip to Eagle Ranch for team building. While there, we’re expected to be under constant sun exposure doing all the outdoor activities we have lined up. As such, I thought a sunblock for face and body is necessary but I wasn’t willing to buy a bottle of sticky one which I won’t want to use again after the trip.

Luckily for me, Neutrogena has just launched a new daily sun protection for face and body! It is everything that I’ve always wanted and I’m so glad we finally have something like this on the shelves.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunblock comes in SPF 50+ with Helioplex technology which has a stabilizing complex that helps UVA defense stay strong and steady. In layman terms, this means that you get longer UVA protection and in this case, you get 3 times longer protection from this sunblock. The sales assistant explained to me that each application would last me 8 hours. It is also waterproof, sweatproof and resist rub-off. Most importantly, it is oil free and doesn’t clog pores.

Texture wise I also find it not sticky like many sunblocks of high protection are. It’s also a plus point that this sunblock has a matte-finish and is not shiny. The scent is mild and pleasant, too. It really seems like the perfect face and body sunblock I’ve been looking for all these years! No wonder the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock is the number 1 dermatologist recommended sun care in the US!

A tube of this 88ml sunblock retails very reasonably at RM35.90 at Guardian outlets. There’s also a free gift of a lavender fragranced sachet, available in two colours – orange and blue. You can hang this in your closet or in any room for that matter. Alternatively, you can also use it as a relaxing eye pad.
