Summer is here along with its dangerous heat waves and increased sun exposure due to multiple outdoor activities we love so much, such as tennis, golf, beach volleyball, various water sports and else. As a fair skin person I am always on the look for the good quality SPF products. I am aware that damaging UV lights can cause skin cancer and accelerate skin aging.At the same time I understand people who long for getting little color, some healthy glow to their skin during summer months in the safest way possible. I am one of them. Trying to find a suitable product is not an easy task. It took me some time, many summer seasons to be exact,to go through a lot of creams and lotions and find my absolute favorites. But first I would like to highlight what my biggest turn offs are in SPF products. I do not like thick white residue on my skin after using the product and I do not like when the product is not absorbed into the skin quickly enough, leaving it look and feel oily for a long period of time.Safety of the product, ability to prevent sunburns, is, of course, the number one concern. I ended up using two products that are my absolute favorites as of today. 1.Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion 50+ This product gives me protection I want. I like to swim and usually end up staying in the water for a long period of time . With this product on my skin I am not afraid of sunburns ,as it allows me to stay in the water for an hour and even more without reapplying the product. In fact sometimes I apply the product generously to my skin only in the morning and it lasts for a whole day on the beach. This product absorbs quickly into my skin and turns invisible without leaving white residue contrary to most other sun screens . It is not greasy and suitable for the body and face. This lotion allows me to get light tan without sunburns when I choose to spend time in the open sun. 2.Clarins Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen Care Oil Spray This product I usually use later in the season when my skin is already accustomed to sun exposure. Clarins oil spray has less sun protection and I usually reapply it a few times during the day, especially after swimming. What I like about this product is high skin absorbency. It is safe to use not only for body and face , but for my hair as well. Play safe in the sun!
