A Guide to Choosing Sunscreen
The sunscreen guide was inspired by Neutrogena. I received info and press samples to facilitate the post.
We all know that we should use sunscreen, and we should use it every day. But, how do we know which sunscreen to use? There are so many formulations on the market nowadays! When I was growing up, spending my whole entire life by the poolside, there was tanning oil and sunscreen. If you’ve been to a sunscreen display lately, it’s quite mind boggling.
Here’s a rundown of some of the types of sunscreen currently available. I’m using the Neutrogena line for a reference point. Why? They’re affordable and easily found in most areas. As a bonus, Neutrogena’s sunscreens are regularly ranked at or near the top of polls and independent laboratory testing for both effectiveness and safety. That’s a total win, right?

Introducing Inika Natural Cosmetics
I received press samples of Inika Natural Cosmetics. All opinions are my own.
I love finding out about new and different cosmetic companies. Especially when these companies that are doing something great for us & the environment. Inika is one of these natural cosmetics brands.
Never heard of Inika? Neither had I, until very recently. Inika’s beginning occurred when it’s founder, Miranda Bond, was diagnosed with endometriosis, and being told she’d likely never conceive a child naturally. After much research, she changed her lifestyle – including getting rid of endocrine disrupting chemicals.
