Review (4/5): I Use It Every Day
Sunscreen is probably the most important beauty product to choose since it prevents daily damage. I used to choose my sunscreen based on how it felt on my skin – whether it burned or felt greasy, etc. I never had a favorite so I decided to look for something new and somehow ended up doing far more research than I intended. Here’s what I discovered:
According to what I have read, sunscreens that do not contain a chemical called Mexoryl do not work well at preventing damage from UVA rays. Other sunscreens are mostly protecting you from UVB rays, which is very important because these are most responsible for cancer. However, it is the UVA ray that is most responsible for aging the skin. I, for one, want both UVA and UVB protection if I can get it so I tried Ombrelle Sunscreen with Mexoryl.
This is the only Mexoryl sunscreen I have tried and, luckily, it feels just as good as the Neutrogena product I used before. It does not burn (it is actually marketed for kids) and it is not greasy. I slather this on under my makeup every morning and it just absorbs and never bothers me – which is exactly what I was looking for! No complaints! Oh, and the price is great to boot.
