Sunday Sun Day Volume XXI: Sun Bum for Superior Sun Protection All Year Long

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I think that it's fair to say that we are well aware that it is imperative to use sunscreen in order to avoid excessive sun exposure. It is also common knowledge that sunscreen should be used all year long, and whether or not it's a bright and sunny day. While I am diligent in applying sunscreen on a daily basis, I sometimes am remiss in reapplying throughout the day. In order to remind myself to reapply, I have taken to leaving a few sunscreens in my car so that I have the constant reminder. That said, Sun Bum's products are so fuss-free that one is naturally more inclined to reapply them.

As you know by now, Sun Bum makes some of my very favorite sunscreens, and once you try their products you will likely become a brand loyalist as well. Their high quality sunscreens boast extraordinary efficacy, are pleasant and fuss-free to use, and feel fantastic on the skin.

SPF 15 Moisturizing Sunscreen Lotion, like the name suggests, is a very moisturizing formula that moisturizes and hydrates the skin while offering it sun protection. It has a mild fruity scent that evokes lazy days on the beach during the summer.  I tend to reach for a higher SPF, in general, but use this one when my sun exposure is limited to short periods of time.

This moisturizing sunscreen formula will protect your skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays while enriching your skin with Vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps to neutralize free radicals, which are the main cause of premature skin aging.

SPF 50 Continuous Spray Sunscreen: This is one of the greatest sunscreen discoveries that I have ever made. It is a truly fuss-free formula that is feather-weight in texture, it has a sheer finish, and is fast drying. The high sun protection factor makes this a favorite to use on a daily basis when I know that I will be exposed to the sun for longer periods of time. The fresh scent, like that of their lotion sunscreens, evokes the warm days of summer.

This easy to use, ultra sheer/dry touch continuous spray formula will protect your skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays while enriching your skin with Vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps to neutralize free radicals, which are the main cause of premature skin aging. The lightweight formula goes on sheer and turns to a dry finish without clogging pores or decreasing protection.
