NEW SUNSCREENS THAT WILL KEEP YOU PROTECTED:
To protect against UVA and UVB rays, you need a high SPF plus UVA-blocking ingredients like zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, avobenzone or Mexoryl. Looking for the words broad spectrum isn't enough since companies don't have to prove that claim.
These are 4 choices that have the right ingredients:
- Coppertone Continous Spary SPF 50 Sunscreen.
- La Roche-Posay Anthelios SX Daily Moisturizing Cream SPF 15, has Mexoryl to block UVA; great for everyday day outs.
- Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Sunblock Gel SPF 30, is light, not greasy.
- Clinique City Block Sheer SPF 25, won't irritate sensitive skin.
