Tuesdays are "I Tried It Tuesdays" where I'll tell you about something I recently tried -- an item, a movie, an activity, etc.
I tried: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-touch Sunscreen.
About: I tried this product after it came highly recommended on a Runners World discussion board as a great sunscreen for the face for runners.
Price point: About $10. I'm cheap...so I thought long & hard about whether I wanted to pay $10 for a 3-ounce bottle of sunscreen. But, my face is worth it. Besides, I know women who think nothing of spending $50 on a tiny jar of night cream, so compared to that -- a $10 tube off sunblock is nothing.
Sweat factor: The problem with wearing face sunscreen while running is that it usually melts right off when you start to sweat and then slides, drop by stinging drop, into your eyes. Not so with this product which stayed on my face even after it grew slick with sweat (TMI?). I did have some run into my eyes, but I think that was because I had rubbed it on my eyelids without thinking. I'll avoid the eye area next time since I wear sunglasses anyway.
Was it really Ultra Sheer and dry? Yes. It went on nice and smooth. It rubbed right into the skin like lotion. It smelled decent, too.
Where to get it: Any drug store or mass retailer like Wal-Mart.
Would I recommend it? Yes, definitely...it's a good facial sunscreen. But, too expensive for me to use on the rest of my body.
