Are You Adhering To Best Practices When It Comes To Sun Protection

-Sponsored Post

I don't know about you, but back in my day we never gave a thought to protecting our skin from the sun. In fact, we did quite the opposite. Our routines before hitting the beach consisted of slathering on as much baby oil as humanly possible, a reflective blanket, and of course a transistor radio. There was no iTunes back then and God forbid you forgot the backup batteries for the radio at home. Monday morning at school we would all compare how tan our arms had gotten over the weekend. Little did we know the damage we were causing our skin.

When fighting the signs of aging every day sun protection is key. Read how Neostrata Sheer Hydration SPF can easily make this an everyday habit-Daily Fashion Muse

Flash forward to present day and we have so much insight into the damage sun exposure can cause and yet so many people still do not use caution. To truly protect the skin on your face from sun damage and aging you should be using sunscreen every day.

In case you have yet to notice, I have developed quite a love affair with the NeoStrata skin care line. See this article here and here. Designed by dermatologists who specialize with problem skin, NeoStrata products are some of the most effective I have tried. I wanted to introduce you to another piece in their line called NeoStrata Sheer Hydration SPF.

NeoStrata Sheer Hydration SPF is a light, oil-free daily hydrator that helps control and reduce oiliness, while providing broad spectrum sunscreen protection.

I have been trying unsuccessfully for years to find a sunscreen that I could tolerate on my face. Product after product that I have tried leaves me with one or more of the following problems

Acne breakouts
Affects my makeup application
Scent is too strong
Irritation to my skin
Changes the color of my makeup
Not a high enough SPF
Feeling of oiliness

I had for the most part given up on trying to find an ideal sunscreen and instead was utilizing hats to protect my face. When I first tried the NeoStrata Sheer Hydration SPF, I immediately noticed that it did not feel like all the other sunscreens I had tried in the past. The idea behind the Sheer Hydration was to not only provide sun protection but also to moisturize the skin, control and reduce oiliness, and even skin tone and firmness.

There are two key ingredients in the NeoStrata Sheer Hydration SPF

NeoGlucosamine®: Clinically proven to even skin tone, diminish dark spots, and improve skin firmness and texture.
Phytotal®: A botanical blend that helps to reduce and control oiliness

I was able to use the Sheer Hydration as part of my base layer routine of moisturizing my face. Because it did not irritate my skin, affect my makeup application, or contribute to any of my other complaints, it has become just one more step in my daily routine. I never leave the house without first using it.
