Okay, so being fair skinned, almost translucent, I’ve been burned by the sun about a couple million times. It was finally, when I had blistering bubbles for shoulders, that I decided I should take a break and stay in the shade wearing a large hat. We fair-skinned beauties do not need to go to such drastic measures to stay safe and looking good. I have a few wonderful products that have made it possible to bare my white ass poolside again! So, grab your beach bag, toss in a water, the latest US Weekly and the following products.
Aveeno Continuous Protection Sunblock Spray is amazingly wonderful. It’s SPF 30, blocks both UVA and UVB rays, and is easy to spray at any angle. It’s lightweight so it melts instantly into your skin and you’ll never have those messy sunscreen fingers. You gotta love the pump bottle! Only drawback, as I see it, is you can’t ask that adorable guy a few towels over to rub some on your back, because you’d just look stupid. The other important product to stash in the beach tote is a great lipbalm with a high SPF, but that doesn’t dry the lips out. I religiously use Jack Black Lipbalm with SPF 25. Smells minty-licious, contains moisturizing shea butter, and gives your lips a sexy glisten. When it comes to face creams with SPF, all are not created equal. Most are so thick and smelly. Who wants to slather caulking paste on their face just to protect it from the sun’s damaging rays? My favorite face cream for everyday wear is Mario Badescu’s Collagen Moisturizer. Fantastically lightweight, SPF 15 and non-stinky. Now, brave the Brazillian, grab your espadrilles and get out there.
