Follow up on Sunscreen
As a follow up to the previous post, I thought I would recommend a daily sunscreen product that I use. It was recommended to me by my dermatologist. And when I showed it to my friend who works at a medical skin care spa, she said it was an excellent product and called it a "medical grade" sunscreen. The product is Obagi Nu-Derm Sunscreen. It's SPF 35 and is great for daily use!
At first I balked at the price (over $30 for a 3 oz tube), but since my doctor was telling me to use this, I thought I'd give it a try. I have to say that it is worth every penny. It lasts a surprisingly long time, even though I use it every morning, because I use it almost exclusively for my face and neck. It feels light and clean on my skin and not greasy or heavy like most sunscreens we are used to. I have replenished my supply several times and have been using it daily for the last three years.
One notation though, is that it is not waterproof, so I always switch to a waterproof product when I am swimming, or doing some outdoor activity that involves sweating. Those sunscreens are better for all-over body coverage anyway. This one I use just for my face.
I give it two thumbs up. I'd give it three if I had a third.
PS. While I'm touting this product, I also want to give a shout-out to a website I like a lot for Traveling With Kids. Check it out.
