Skin care: Neutrogena

Summer is around the corner and with it many of us decide to spend more time in the sun.  It’s very important to protect our skin against the harmful UVB and UVA rays.

I always use a daily facial moisturizer with SPF 15. But, if I know I’m going to spend an extraordinary amount of time under the sun I like to use a sunscreen lotion with  a SPF 50 or higher on my face and body.

I was running low on my facial moisturizer so I decided it was time to try on something new and this is what I got:

 

Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 from Neutrogena

 

My husband My husband is a little bit more on the whiter side, so he wears sunscreen with a high SPF on  a regular basis. He was running low on sunscreen and this is what he got:

Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock with SPF 85 from Neutrogena

I’ll be writing a review of both products after I’ve used them for a little while.

What SPF products do you use?

Review: L'Oreal Go 360 Clean Deep Cream Cleanser

I went shopping recently and picked up this cleanser from my local Walmart.  I had been wanting to try this product out for some time now but decided to wait until my current face wash ran out.

Price: $5.00

 

What makes this product unique:

• Go 360° Clean Deep Facial Cleansers bring you the very first Scrublet™.
• This super-soft, flexible cleansing disc applies the cleanser with 500 extra-supple touch points that gently glide across the skin.
• The cleanser formulas activate on contact to create a hi-foaming lather, which goes deep into pores, unclogging them and gently removing traces of dirt, oil and makeup in every last pore, crease and crevice.

Benefits

• Smaller pores: Go 360° Clean shrinks the appearance of pore size and refinishes the skin’s surface to reveal skin with more clarity.
• Deeper cleansing: Unique formulas reach down deeper to every last pore for a deep, deep clean. Keeps pores clean day after day.
• Softer skin: Sweeps away dead skin cells for an extraordinary softening and smoothing effect
• Easy-to-use: Scrublet™ cleanses pore-by-pore with a fuss-free cleansing process

This cleanser comes in 4 different formulas:

• Exfoliating Scrub
• Gel
• Lotion
• Sensitive Skin

My Verdict on the product:

• The scrublet feels very soft when it comes into contact with the skin. 
• The scrublet’s softness and flexibility allows you to glide it on every little crevice and contour of the skin. 
• The cleanser has a very pleasant, refreshing , nice orange and minty smell to it. 
• If you dislike strong scents on your face then maybe this product might not be for you.  I for one enjoyed taking in the scents because it made me feel like I was getting a facial at a spa.
• As you lather up your face you immediately start to feel like the product is getting deep into the skin.  I for one enjoyed the tingly feeling that it gives.
• For the most part I would say that the cleanser leaves your face feeling cool, refreshed and smooth.

For the moment I’m very happy with this product!
