SkinMedica Environmental Defense Sunscreen SPF 30+


Last month, I told you how I was loving SkinMedica Dermal Repair, chock full of ultra-nourishing ingredients. Well, there is another superstar in the SkinMedica line: SkinMedica Environmental Defense Sunscreen SPF 30+.

With all the awareness these days about sun damage, 30 is the new 15 when it comes to a minimum SPF, so this scores big for the SPF 30. Plus, it’s odorless (yes, it’s completely absent of any sunscreen smell!), non-greasy and absorbs easily into the skin.

But beyond the sunscreen benefits, it offers skin much more. Green Tea Extract, Caffeine and Vitamin E provide powerful antioxidant protection, combating skin-damaging free radicals. Hyaluronic Acid is one of the most hydrating ingredients out there, and makes this sunscreen an awesome moisturizer. Ceramide 3 mimics skin lipids to rebuild the skin’s lipid barrier and increase skin’s ability to retain hydration, which also contributes to soft, healthy skin.

But what really puts this sunscreen over the top? It functions as a makeup primer! Somehow this sunscreen, which isn’t even intended to be a makeup primer, outshines all of the actual makeup primers on the market! It controls oil and makes my makeup stay perfectly intact all day long–no touch-ups required.

The formula is a pearlescent white, which also gives skin a beautiful, illuminated effect. And now I’ve officially died and gone to heaven.

    No, it doesn’t clog pores at all! It doesn’t say that it is waterproof, but I would say it’s at least water resistant. You could use the skinmedica cleanser to wash it off, or pretty much any cleanser you’d like. :)
