Neutrogena Age Shield FACE Sunblock

Protecting one's face from the ravages of sunburn has been a personal pursuit for the past fifteen to twenty years as birthdays keep adding up. On a recent island vacation, Neutrogena Age Shield FACE Sunblock with a SPF of 55 provided superior anti-aging oil-free non-greasy protection that needs to be shared. This "advanced sunscreen technology" actually shields skin six layers deep from skin aging UVA rays that will later need the help of a plastic surgeon. The new dermatologist-tested formula, which is available with SPF's from 55 to 85, contains Helioplex^™ technology, the latest breakthrough in UV protection. According to the manufacturer, "Helioplex^™ delivers unbeatable UVA protection and works better to help prevent damaging UVA rays from penetrating deep under skin’s surface" which would result in additional wrinkles, sagging skin, and discoloration. Protecting one's face from harm is easier than the alternative surgical repair from sun abuse. After six days of using the sunblock with the SPF of 55 in the hot island sun, my face was not burned but it did receive somewhat of a light tan. In the afternoon each day, as the sun burned hotter, I switched to the sunblock with the higher SPF of 70 for additional skin protection.

Neutrogena Age Shield FACE sunblock works in two unique ways to protect the skin: it helps screen out damaging UVB burning rays, and it also helps stop UVA skin aging rays from penetrating the skin's surface. The ultra light formula was easy to apply and non-greasy, leaving a non-shiny surface. It was also applied to the neck and chest area to avoid burning and additional problems that would result. For anyone hoping for a tan without the usual skin sagging that results years down the road, grab a tube of Neutrogena's Age Shield FACE sunblock and start using it now, before you wish you had.
