It’s hard enough to abstain from anything, let alone the sun. The feeling of those rays warming your shoulders is just too good to resist. So, if you’re going to be outside, be smart about it and protect yourself. I’ve combed through tons of new formulas and chosen my summer sunblock picks that will have you covered from head to toe. Check out my favorites in my TV segment that aired on WGN’s and CLTV’s Living Healthy Chicago. Need a cheat sheet? Here’s a roundup of my sunblock picks. Whether you have oily skin or are a sweat machine, this list has a formula for everyone. FACE Kiehl’s Super Fluid UV Defense SPF 50 It’s lightweight, oil free and has a matte finish so you can easily layer with makeup. Vichy Normaderm Pro Mat SPF 15 We tend to look shiny and greasy in the heat. This formula solves that problem by absorbing excess oil on our skin. Aveeno Positively Ageless Has antioxidants such as feverfew and soy that repair skin and offers protection as high as SPF 100. BG TIP Even though it offers a high SPF, it’s important to apply a teaspoon worth of product to your face to get the proper protection. Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Powerful Sun Protection SPF 30 These individual towelettes are one of my all-time favorites. They’re great for face and body when you’re on-the-go. Supergoop! SPF 30 Sunscreen Wipes These wipes contain a physical blocking agent (zinc oxide) so they’re gentle for sensitive skin types and kiddies. Clarins Sunscreen Wrinkle Control Eye SPF 30 Has plant-based extracts so it will protect without irritating your eyes. Want to try this product for free? Check back tomorrow. I’ll be giving away 3!
