Must Have Medical Grade Sunscreen That Works

Finding the right sunscreen to work for my skin not only for the summer but year round has been a challenge. I am picky when it comes to the sunscreen that I wear.

When it comes to sunscreen, I demand sun protection, prefer mineral based sunscreen, and do not want a sunscreen that will interfere with my makeup. I also don’t want a sunscreen that irritates my skin. That is of very high importance to me. Not a very tall order.

I am a big fan of medical grade skincare so it should be no surprise that I am a big fan of medical-grade sunscreen. This year, I found the perfect medical-grade sunscreen combination that works for me and my skin. And when I say combo, I mean that in the best way possible.

You see, when I am going for a very natural or everyday no-makeup makeup look, I use Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 36. It is a lightweight, all-mineral sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum protection. It hydrates and protects skin from harmful UVA/ UVB rays while providing a soft, glow.

When I have been outdoors this summer, I combine Alastin HydraTint with Alastin SilkSHIELD All Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30. This combo has worked for me all day at the pool and beach, no matter how long I have stayed in the sun. I do wear a big beach hat and sunglasses and stay under an umbrella as much as possible; as long as I am not washing it off in the pool or ocean, this combination protects my skin all day.

Alastin SilkSHIELD All Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 is made with Alastin’s proprietary Tri-Hex technology. With powerful yet gentle protection, this transparent sunscreens peptide blend provides anti-aging benefits long after sunset.

I am thrilled that I found this combination. I pump two pumps of the HydraTint and dollop about the size of a nickel of the SilkSHIELD into the palm of my hand and blend them together. The combination of the two sunscreens is very light and silky. I apply this combination all over my face, neck, and decollete. As I said above, as long as I am not going into the water or washing this combination off, this lasts for me and protects my skin from the sun all day long.
