I have been using USANA’s skin care line – Sense for almost 2 years, I use its “Daytime Protective Emulsion (SPF 15)” in the day time really love it.

As long as you’re talking about the summer sun, don’t forget the amount of UV damage that can be done through windows (especially car side windows). They block UVB, but only about 30% of UVA. Remember that when you’re driving to the beach!

Thank you for this timely post! Sunscreen is really important. I have never seen a product in the store with UPF. The challenge for me is finding a sunscreen that is oil-free, contains mostly zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, won’t clog pores and is cheap. Or at least something reasonable is good.

thanks soo much, i have never heard of UPF and i always assumed using a spf 100% would completely prevent any sort of damage..

Great article. The three expensive things I use are French sunblock (Bioderma Lait) and C+E Ferulic and Avage. Hats too! So far it works!

I think that these are good reinforcements even for avid sunblock wearers like myself. If skin cancer is not enough of a deterrent, then maybe people will stay out of the sun for reasons of vanity!

Thanks, Nicki. I would have thought SPF 100 would provide 100% protection. Why not put the real protection number on the bottle??

Good point about the powder!

I try not to think about my powder, foundation and other such products as sunscreen, even if they do have a SPF for a very simple reason: I’m bound to apply them in a way that makes me look good – which mainly means uneven coverage and touching up only the T-zone.
