Protect yourself with Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunblock


As I get older (yikes!  50 real soon) I get more and more concerned about protecting myself from aging and the sun.  I want to remain as young looking as possible, but don't we all!  I try not to go out in the sun too much, because of some health issues.  But you can bet that when I do, I use a product to protect myself from the harmful UVA and UVB rays.  Currently I am using Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunblock.

I received two bottles of the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunblock to review.  When it arrived, I was excited and concerned about trying it.  First thing I did was read the package, and wanted to see what it smelled like.  I was pleasantly surprised that the scent was very low and not offensive.  I wanted to learn what I could before applying it.  Wondering if I would break out in acne or a rash, which has happened to me after using something new in the past.  After I opened it, I washed my face so that it would be free of any make-up, dirt, or oil.  Then I applied the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunblock to my face and neck.  The scent was great and once applied, I could not even tell I had it on.  The scent of some products aggravate my asthma, but this has not.  The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunblock soaked right in and did not leave a greasy feeling.  I am so glad of that.  I have combination skin with some very oily sections, and I do not like to use products that leaves it feeling oily. But that was not the case here.

I continue to use the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunblock on a daily basis (applying it at least 15 minutes before exposure to the sun), so that when I go outside with the fur babies, checked the mail, or swept the porch, my face will be protected from the harmful rays of the sun.  Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunblock contains helioplex, a broad spectrum protector against uva - uvb rays.  Which shields skin 6 layers deep from premature aging as well. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunblock also is waterproof and sweat proof, it won't clog your pores, and it is also oil and PABA free. And the SPF is 70!

You can use the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunblock by itself as it goes on smoothly and has a non-shiny finish, or you can use it under your make-up or moisturizer.  I'm so glad I was chosen to review the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunblock.  I have found the perfect protector for my face from the sun, and while it protects, it will help me prevent premature aging (a huge plus in my book) as well.

Before Winners are announced a bit of update

Yesterday I went to the hand orthopedic as my rhuematologist (not srue how to spell that) wanted me to see a hand doctor as she noticed my thumbs no longer laid out straight when holding your hands out straight, they dropped and it hurt something awful (I know I came off the chair) when she tried to put them back in place. I've been haing a lot of pain in both hands for several years, and always told my family doctor. He told me there was nothing that could be done, it was arthritis.

Anyhow, yesterday was my appointment, and they first took x-rays of both hands. And later took me to the exam room. When the doc came in after viewing my x-rays he first said.... "I know exactly what your problem is, by looking at the x-rays" Oh goody.. now tell me and tell me if anything can be done.

He said as a last resort surgery could be performed but due to my RSD and Lupus and the fact that I had a stress heart attack a year ago when my hip was replaced.... they are weary of doing surgery.

He said due to the meds that I already take for pain, there is nothing he can prescribe and that I take pain meds that he isn't even allowed to prescribe. So yesterday they shot both thumb joints with steroids...and that hurt like the dickens but only for a few moments (but I never want to do that again, if at all possible) and put both hands in braces (I took one off to type this and answer a few e-mails). In 5 weeks when I go back we;ll go from there. So only time will tell if the steroids and braces will help. But it will definitely hinder my crafting, that is for sure. Something I am not looking forward to. Especially since I started making myself a multi-pocketed up-cycled (from an old bomber jacket) leather purse Thursday evening. Now it will have to be put on hold for a bit.

But on to the winners ...
