The Replacement?

As you know I am now officially over the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock...I just don't think it works. Well today, while strolling the aisles of perhaps my favorite store (I love you Target!!) I saw something new that caught my eye and has the potential to be my next skincare savior.

Coppertone Nutrashield SPF 70+ with Dual Defense - $9.99 (Online at drugstore.com and drugstore nationwide)This baby may just be mine (and your!) skin care savior. It has it all - high SPF, sheer consistency, fragrance free, UVA/UVB protection with broad spectrum, designed for women, suitable for everyday use AND the newest trendy factor that I talked about yesterday - antioxidants! Seriously this might be my new favorite item EVER. I am so excited to try it out and give that lame sunscreen I was formally using proof that there are better versions out there. And all of this from Coppertone- THE go-to name in sunscreen and the makers of the sunscreen I most highly recommend (I'm talking about you Coppertone Sport Lotion SPF 50!)

One tricky marketing work to the wise...There are a two versions of this sunscreen on the shelf. The full size container which I have shown here and a smaller "facial" version. I have spent a serious amount of time looking at the two bottles and I can't tell any differences. I think it is the same exact product in both bottles which is silly because they are charging $9.99 for the 3 oz of "facial" formula and $9.99 for 6 oz of the regular formula! SHAME! So save your money and buy the bigger "regular" formula - I think the facial label is on there just to convince you it is a fancier product and therefore worth twice as much!

But anyhoo, despite this little cost discrepancy- I am PSYCHED for this sunscreen!

Keep looking fabulous,
BGND
