mychelle sun shield spf 28 with zinclear

it’s that time again where you would need a stronger sunscreen to protect and prevent sun burns. i want to share a favorite of mine and i had stopped using it since last summer because of a few things:

1) it’s not as easy to spread

2) it balls up!!

i’ve always prefer physical sunscreen although i’ll use chemical sunscreens if i have to. this one is made with zinclear (zinc oxide) but leaves no white residue and my favorite, does not sting the eyes. this is a big plus for me since i wear contacts. you know it can be a pain.

i have 2 tubes of this left and although i stopped using, i didn’t want to throw it away because i always come back to it. just last night i read a few user reviews about how they mixed a drop or two of jojoba oil to the cream to give it a bit of a slip so it’s easier to apply.

i was getting ready this morning and thought why not?? i mix two pea size of the sunscreen with 3/4 of a pea size (how i know that i’m not sure) of the alba hawaiian jasmine and vit e moisturizer on my palm. since both creams are white, they blend and mix very well. it wasn’t too runny but was SO MUCH EASIER to apply to my face and best of all, NO BALLING!! now only if life was this easy!

the result, i got my daily moisturizer, my daily sunscreen, a matte finish, no white residue, and a more confident feeling facing those rays. c’mon, it’s going to be in the 80′s today! :yes: now i know what to do with that $20 mychelle gift certificate i got from taking their survey.

lastly, you know one of the places that’s missed the most when applying creams and what not? the neck. now i have this mental note to include my neck in every step of my skin procedures.
