GLAM SHOPPING BEAT: Save Your Skin & Hair this Summer! The 10 Coolest Sunscreen Products to Try. FASHIONTRIBES BEAUTY & SKINCARE BLOG

      

Glam Shopping Beat column by Lesley Scott:

Serious sunscreen used to mean two choices: either lurking in the shade, or a combo of covering up every inch of exposed skin with longsleeves & hats, and frosting one's nose with an icky zinc-based layer. Thankfully, mad science has intervened in the mean time, giving rise to sunscreens that protect like nobody's business, but thankfully sans the unattractive toothpaste-like texture.  Unlike sunscreens of yore, today's hot ingredients - such as the recently FDA-approved Mexoryl & Helioplex - have rendered sunscreens seriously sheer, wearable (and dare we say, fashionable?), even under makeup.

However, in your efforts to fight off the effects of long-term UV damage, don't don't neglect areas like decolletage, lips & hair. While it's true that ritualistic application of endless sunscreen can seem like a pain, when you continue to stay glowy & fabulous year after year, your skin - & your fans - will thank you.
