Sure, I could spend my time researching what is known to be the fan favorite of all sunscreens, but what’s the point when I already use one of the best?! Granted, I did a ton of research a few years back, and no question about it – this is my all-time favorite.
No need to hold you in suspense, but you must buy this: SkinCeuticals Ultimate UV Defense

Plain and simple, it’s fantastic. I wear it in place of a moisturizer every morning, and beneath my make-up. Not only does it protect against UVA and UVB (cancer-causing) rays, but it also utilizes zinc oxide, which is one of the most amazing levels of protection you can get. You may remember zinc used to be that thick white or colored stuff on people’s faces that looked totally bizarre years back. Thankfully, they have done a ton of improvements, and it now is nearly invisible. Some may notice a lighter appearance to their face after putting the sunscreen on, but it quickly absorbs and goes away. No worries, I promise!
And let us not forget, it is 3.0 fluid ounces. That’s right my friends, it is travel and TSA friendly! This bottle lasts me over six months ($35 over six months, is only about $6/per month, $1.25 per week. Yes you can afford that), and I apply it everyday to my face, neck and use the leftover on my hands for the tops of my hands. Note: I use cheaper versions for my body as I am not as picky about the greasy look it may leave behind.
So the moral of this story? Wear sunscreen. Everyday. Do not think that because you have a darker skin tone, or like the look of a tan face, that it means you should not. Cancer and wrinkles are not cool and if you can prevent them with something so simple, why would you not?
I too love the look of having a sun-kissed glow, but tanning (out in the sun, or worse, a tanning bed) is not the way to do it. Just because you don’t notice the damage right away, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. I look at the faces of my mom’s friends, and it is quite evident those that protected their beautiful skin throughout their lives. I ask what their secret is? Sunscreen. Yes, some things can be that simple.
SkinCeuticals offers a wide variety of sun protection, and this just happens to be my favorite. They also have a sport version and another Sheer Physical
version. I have tried all of the, and the Ultimate is my favorite. Perhaps one of the others may by yours? Either way, their sunscreen is to die for.
Who else loves SkinCeuticals? Jennifer Lopez, Debra Messing, Katherine Heigl, Kelly Rutherford, Kirstie Alley, Rebecca Romijn, Sophia Bush and many more.
Enjoy!
Love, K.
