Although we are a few months away from summer, I cannot express the importance of using sunblock year round. It not only prevents skin cancers, but those of you that are obsessed about wrinkIes really should have been using the stuff everyday to prevent them in the first place. But don't worry! Its not too late and you can reverse the signs of sun damage and prevent more by using a face sunblock everyday starting now!
I have tried so many face sunblocks, and Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Liquid daily sunblock spf 70 has so far been my favorite for years now. I use this stuff every single day. It goes on non-greasy or sticky at all which is why it is my favorite. Since sunblock is made to sit on top of skin, you'll want to moisturize first so that the sunblock does not block the moisturizer which unlike sunblock is suppose to be absorbed.
My recommended steps in the morning are:
1. cleanse/ toner/ moisturize face
2. put on a small layer of primer (specifically in areas that have larger pores because this prevents sunblock from clogging pores) (please read my "Monistat" post for cheap primer!)
3. sunblock
4. another layer of primer (this creates the smooth surface for makeup)
5. put on makeup
6. powder last, to set your face
*remember to let each layer dry a little bit before putting the next layer on! (a small paper fan works!)
