Souped-Up Sunscreen
2015 has been the year of high-tech sunscreens. So many cutting-edge formulas have launched, I could test a new one each week and still be slathering in December.
My favorite new SPF to date is SkinMedica Total Defense and Repair Broad Spectrum SPF 34, $65. Here's why: It contains a combination of chemical and physical blockers (so UV rays break down and bounce off, respectively), the texture is light and silky (it feels more like a high-end face lotion than traditional sunscreen) and it's packed with antioxidants. The antioxidant blend is so special, in fact, it's been shown to protect skin from infrared rays. (Infrared is heat energy, and its recently been linked to aging.) Skinmedica is calling it a superscreen, and I'd have to agree.
