Lymph Drainage Massage

Join us this week to talk sunscreen! Although this is just the surface when it comes to SPF we are excited to at least start the conversation!  Recommendations: Alba Botanica Sensitive Fragrance Free Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30, Aveeno Mineral Sensitive Skin Sunscreen SPF 50, Coppertone Sensitive Faces, Banana Boat Simply Protect Sport, Eucerin daily protection SPF 30, Cetaphil oil control SPF 30 (same as Differin), Neutrogena Pure & Free Liquid, Neutrogena Healthy Defense Sensitive, Olay Complete SPF 30 sensitive, COOLA face SPF 30 matte tinted moisturizer, Face Spf 30 Mineral Sunscreen Cucumber Matte Finish PCA Skin SPF 45 Tinted, Eminence Organics Red Current.  Obviously there are thousands more we could mention but we felt this was a good start.  Correction about COOLA products: If you have more sensitive skin, their citrus mimosa face SPF has a few essential oils in it which could cause some irritation. We will dive deep into essential oils in a future episode and still love COOLA products, just maybe not this one. Just wanted to update our recommendation.  Citation: 1.
