We're now into the second month of summer and thanks to my wonderful facialist, I've discovered this really great product for us ladies who want to have fun in the sun without most the repercussions. And if you've got a load of tattoos and don't want to regret spending all this money on your tattoos and keep it's glorious colors, you've got to try this product. It's called "Sunforgettable SPF 30" by Colorscience. I live in Hawaii, where the angle of the sun's rays are unbelievably intense. You only have to be out in the sun for an hour and a half, even if its overcast or slightly raining, to get sunburnt. And the most crucial effects of radiation exposure is between the hours of 9am and 2pm. My main concern was my tattoos and my face. I didn't want to walk around with faded tattoos because there's a family history to them and I wanted to maintain it's beautiful colors. I wanted to try "Sunforgettable SPF 30" first, before I even endorsed it, because you and I know how many times we've been fooled by propaganda into buying products that don't friggin work! But this one does. It's a little costly, around $48 for .23 ounces, but, if you want to save your skin from the burning rays of the sun, I think it's worth the investment. This is how it works.
The water resilient minerals in the powder protects the skin from burning rays and locks in the moisture. Real minerals do not absorb water, so it rolls right off. The micro minerals called titanium dioxide reflects the light and provides coverage so that UV rays don't touch the skin. The micro zinc oxide minerals is an active ingredient, when altered, makes the elements water-proof and does not dissolve. It is free of dyes, mineral oils, talcs, perfumes and alcohol. Word of caution:this product does NOT prevent melanoma!
"Sunforgettable SPF 30" comes in 5 different applications~brush, orb, shaker can, roller ball or salve and three mineral colors~clear (whitish on the skin), perfectly clear (natural skin color) or almost clear (darker in color). I prefer to use the brush which has a retractable cover. It is refillable and also comes in a light-weight metal case. It's easy to pop in in your bag or pocket so that you can re-apply the powder throughout the day. The best way to use the powder for a lasting effect is to moisturize your skin first, let dry and apply the powder over it. I use both the clear powder and the perfectly clear powder. If you use the clear powder be careful not to over-powder your face, you'll look like a "kabuki" performer! Once you use the product you can apply to your liking. Happy Powdering!
