Get Some Sun Without The Sunburn
Summer is finally here in the North East and I’m loving the sunshine! However, I was so deprived of Vitamin D that I ran outside without sunblock and got a sunburn in about 20 minutes… My poor milky complexion is so sensitive and it hadn’t seen any sun since last Summer, just about!
For the last week or so, we’ve had 4 or 5 beautiful days of sunshine, and I’ve been applying sunblock everyday. I’ve been using Erno Laszlo’s Total Face & Body Protection SPF 30.
It’s a lightweight, daily moisturizing cream packed with powerful antioxidants and broad spectrum sun protection. It contains essential vitamins, minerals and nourishing Shea Butter to protect the skin against aging and help retain its natural moisture. Most sunblock feel icky and sticky and doesn’t do much for your skin but protect it. This is more of a moisturizer with sunblock included so you’ll be doing your skin a favor. So have fun in the sun, instead of worrying about sunburn!

I know there are a lot of good everyday sunblocks out there but if you are an endurance athlete like me who needs a higher standard of water and sweatproofing I recommend Hawaiian Island Creations 2X Sunblock by Outside Labs. I was very skeptical about their “Won’t Run Into Eyes” claim because every other product I have used in the past when I have gone on a run, worked out at the beach, or even went for a swim always gets into my eyes and burns the you-know-what out of them. Alas, this product actually did what it said it would do and it stayed on my face and not in my eyes! Besides being waterproof and sweatproof (literally) it also goes on really dry and has very good aesthetics and it lasted me for 6 full hours! I just did the LA Marathon and only had to apply the product 1 time and it lasted me all 23 miles and change. Don’t get me wrong other products out there are great for everyday use but if you are like me and need something that will keep up with your active lifestyle you should seriously consider Hawaiian Island Creations 2x Sunblock by Outside Labs.
I think its so much healthier and easier to fake tan, for me anyway! I have freckles and when I get a tan I look great but the process to get one is pretty difficult, so being sprayed an all over golden tan is just great and amkes me look healthy and happy!;-)
