Mickey says: "Best for sandy beach days. This mist leaves a mild baby powder scent along with an SPF 15 to allow light tanning during a bright sunny day. The misting pump sprays a bit forcefully, but we loved the softness (not stickiness) this oil-free sunscreen left behind. Although PTR Ultra-Lite claims to be waterproof,Peter Thomas Roth Ultra-Lite Oil-Free Sunscreen Mist SPF 15 I still recommend reapplication after taking a dip in the ocean or pool. The mist comes in a purse-friendly version which is a great way to figure out if it is enough sun protection for you."

Mickey says: "Best lotion for water sports (and just about everything else). We slathered Dermatone Z-Cote all over a wide range of skin types while surfing in Costa Rica. It maintained sun Dermatone Z-Cote Sunscreen Waterproof Lotionprotection on the brightest of days in water and on land and even protected scars from becoming pinkish or darker. We basically lived in Z-Cote and even the redhead made it out without blistering in the tropical sun."

Mickey says: "Best daily face protection. June Jacobs' products usually pop up while you're getting pampered at a luxury spa, but her skin care can work in your daily routine too. We loved the Amour Day Shield because it's loaded with antioxidants to protect from future damage, has silk protein to work as an ultra-lightweight moisturizer, and acts as a rockin' makeup primer. Non-sticky and has a gentle fresh smell."

Mickey says: "This "first" in skin care works to bind sunscreen to the skin during your daily cleansing process. Basically, skin works like a magnet to attract Ice Shield’s SPF 15 properties and hold them in their protective place long after rinsing. No residue is left behind and it actually is an excellent makeup removing cleanser on its own. But keep in mind, you will have to work the creamy lather over face for 1 or 2 minutes to get the full benefit, and I would also avoid using a toner."

Mickey says: "Most recommended by dermatologists. Chances are you've heard about the highly acclaimed Anthelios SX Sunscreen that was just approved by the FDA. If not from your skin savvy friends, then I'm sure you will on your next trip to the dermatologist. We love the Daily Moisturizing Cream with Mexoryl SX (that's the powerful stuff that defends skin from UVA aging rays) because it seems to keep protecting without needing multiple applications. It is gentle enough for our tender body parts and practically melts tracelessly into skin. This cream isn't as waterproof as we would like (even the one for babies) but you should be reapplying any cream or lotion after activity or swimming anyway."
Daily use moisturizer UVA/UVB protection 24 hr. long-lasting hydration. Fragrance-free PABA-free Light, non-greasy. Suitable for sensitive skin.
