Scala Collezione Sun Hat- The Stephanie

I'm finally getting to use the pool this weekend. It's going to be hot and while I never wore hats when out there , last summer I started occasionally using a visor type. I like to lounge in the sun but lets face it you need some cover out there and I've been thinking a sun hat is in order. That's where this cool hat from Scala Collezione comes in. 

This hat is cute and can easily be worn to daytime events as well as beach and pool, you know should a polo match present itself.   It  provides UPF 50 sun protection and the brim is 4 inches, so it covers a lot but not all of your face.  It also folds up into nothing so is packable but tough.

There are 3 colors and it retails for $ 30. 00 at http://www.womens-hats.com/

Anthelios La Roche- Posay Sunscreens

It's July 4th weekend and it's going to be hot, hot , hot. That  means sunscreen, sunscreen , sunscreen.

Awhile back I did my sunscreen expose ( The FDA has since finally updated the rules) talking about how much I love Mexoryl based sunscreens. I have always had people truck back some from overseas, but had not yet used one of the  few brands to use Mexoryl that can be bought  here- Anthelios by LaRoche -Posay.

Anthelios has 2  sunscreens with Mexoryl SX : Anthelios SX and Anthelios 40 .  A new addition to the Anthelios line is Anthelios 50, a 100 % mineral based SPF that also is great.

Anthelios SX  is a daily moisturizing cream with SPF 15.  This is much like a body lotion, only a bit heavier. There's no white cast and it sinks in fast. It has a nice light scent and is great for  everyday wear.

Anthelios 40 is a regular sunscreen cream with high protection . This one goes on thick  and has some white residue, but that easily blends in. I've been using this a lot , for daily use, and have not noticed any suntan getting through on my arms . Once you apply it , it doesn;t feel like anything is on .

Anthelios 50 Ultra Light Fluid  ( new) has 11% Titanium Dioxide  with a patent pending CELL-OX SHIELD™ formula that offers  antioxidants as well as SPF.  It's is a thin liquid that goes on very sheer. It dries fast and leaves behind a matte finish with little moisture making this a great choice for faces. It feels barely  there.

Each of these  makes a great SPF choice and I feel good having them all at hand. I try and use the Mexoryl ones everyday as they work and work well. Nothing does the job like Mexoryl.

La Roche Posay is dedicated to sun safety and continues this year with their  Save Our Skin initiative  http://www.sossaveourskin.com/ , which is a national awareness campaign encouraging daily sun safety. To that end they have a very cool iPhone app My UV Check.

Anthelios 50 Mineral Sunscreen is $ 31.95 and you can get all of these at Walgreens, CVS  and http://www.laroche-posay.us/
