The 4 Best Sunscreens Tested as Safe and Effective

I was recently contacted by Reviews.com about their latest tests to find the best sunscreens.  I am not being compensated for this post, but if you purchase anything through links on this page I may receive a small percentage (enough to boost my spirits!)  The bottom line is that I am sharing with you which sunscreens are the best for various purposes, such as:

  • Best Coverage
  • Best for Sensitive Skin
  • Best for Face, and
  • Best for Physical Activity.

Age doesn’t matter.  We all want to get the best for our money.  So it’s nice to have access to the results of products tested for the best, and to check reviews before buying.

We also need the sun for vitamin D.  But it’s important to make sure we’re not overdoing it, so protection against too much sun is important for balance.

I especially love this review because the winning products are safe for sensitive skin, and contain natural and organic ingredients.

After researching 135 sunscreens, Reviews.com tested 20 products for coverage and skin feel and found four favorites.

So without further ado, here are the winners:

How Can We Stay Healthy in a Busy World?

This is a diary of the healthy lifestyle goals that my son, Chris, and I are making together each month.  Since it takes 21-30 days to develop a new habit, making a goal for the month ahead is an effective strategy.

The buddy system is one of the main ways to get motivated. I’ve always found that if I say out loud to someone what I plan on doing, I’m more likely to do it.  Because if I say I will, I feel responsible to follow through.  

Age doesn’t matter.  It’s never too late.  You can always make progress and actually reverse the signs of aging!

Chris has My Fitness Pal app on his phone but hasn’t used it in a long time.  He started thinking it might be a good idea to use it over the next month so that he can strike a balance between healthy foods and good-tasting foods.

I wanted to increase my water intake to six glasses a day.  My plan was to carry a refillable water bottle with me whenever I was leaving the house.  

Here’s how we did: Continue Reading

Last month, Chris’s goal was to try to find healthy foods most days (as he’s out in the big city every day furthering his acting career), and to only allow junk food one day a week.  My goal was to drink more water. Here’s what happened: Continue Reading

Last month, Chris wanted to try adding one cheat day a week to his diet to see if it made it easier for him to stick with his good diet habits the rest of the time. I thought it sounded like a good idea, so I made the same goal for the month of March.  Here’s what happened:
