After much debating I have decided
which sunscreen product I will be taking for myself when I hit the shores of
QLD; I have opted to go with…
Neutrogena’s Beach Defence
Range.
The reason for picking this is this
year with the release of SPF 50 I don't think I will eve
r look back to SPF 30+.
I think also the name helped me
decided as when I read its name I picture sitting on the beach in QLD sipping
on my Canadian Club and Dry and just lounging around watching the girls
splashing in the water.

With Summer comes them nasty UV rays and I could
not think of anything worse then coming back from my holiday looking like an
over cooked lobster. I know I will get a nice tan as I have Croatian and Kiwi
in my blood but I don’t want to over cook.
Being in QLD I know most days will be spent at the
theme parks and then the rest will be on the coasts of QLD all day. I know if I
wore my tanning oil all day I would still cook and I really don’t want this.
Lately I have actually started to worry as my skin
is breaking out in a lot more sun spots then usual, mostly on my arms and my
chest. My mum has a melanoma and it runs in the family, so I think my baking in
tanning lotion are well and truly over.
I like Neutrogena’s formula as it is not greasy
and sand doesn’t stick to my skin like I have applied a layer of glue. It soaks
into the skin giving you a HUGE SPF of 50 plus.
Moreover, prolonged exposure to summer elements
such as water in the pool or salt water at the beach affects the permeability
of the skin’s barrier, making skin more susceptible to potential irritants.
Brand new NEUTROGENA BEACH DEFENCETM Sunscreen
range SPF50 forms a protective barrier to defend against harsh summer elements
with stabilised HELIOPLEX technology that offers high SPF50 protection.
HELIOPLEX technology effectively absorbs hazardous UVA and UVB rays, resulting
in ‘photostable’, durable protection - meaning it won’t break down or lose its
ability to protect the skin, even when exposed to sunlight.
Also another thing I love about this product is
the bright yellow packaging, there is no way known I would not be able to find
this in the baby bag or beach bag (thank god!) Gone are the days were I would
spend at least 5 minutes rummaging through everything to find the sunscreen.
I wont be using this on the girls, but I will make
a post on what I shall be taking for them J
