Sunscreen Season


During our rough Montreal winters, I delude myself into thinking sunblock isn't necessary. (Stupid, I know.) Come summertime, however, I try to be more diligent about UV protection. My skin is getting older and I want to keep Botox shots (among other, scarier threats) at bay for as long as possible.

La Roche Posay Anthelios XL Lotion is the best sunscreen out there.


Pros:

Smells good and feels vraiment fancy. Not greasy. Doesn't irritate my skin or cause blemishes. Blends in well, no weird white residue left behind. Well-stocked in most mainstream drugstores, but you might have to shop around for your desired SPF coverage. (I'm a 50-60 gal.)

Drawbacks:

Leaves skin a little shiny. (Can that be avoided with any sunscreen?) Also, it costs around $30 for 150ml of product, so the stuff isn't super cheap.

Investing in something from La Roche Posay is normally well worth the price. I particularly love using their sunblock on my face because it's so gentle, and a little goes a long way. Do you swear by another brand? Curious to know if there's a better option I should try :)
