Is it time already to talk big gun SPF ? Well it is Spring Break season, Easter vacays will be coming and you know, summer too, in a couple months depending on where you live.
If you are headed to the beach or somewhere super sunny , then you need SPF. Neutrogena has always been regarded as one of the tops brands in this category and new this year is Beach Defense. It comes in sprays and lotions with SPF up to 70.
Remember too, that the new FDA rules for SPF finally began to go into effect in December. Sunscreens must now show exactly how long they are water resistant( none are waterproof) and must pass a test to show that they protect across both UVA & UVB rays to be labeled " Broad Spectrum "
Beach Defense has Neutrogena's Helioplex formula which protects across UVA/UVB and is photostable, which is important as not all chemical based sunscreens are.
What's new with Beach Defense is that this also is said to protect against elements like chlorine and salt in water.
The spray is very light and absorbs fast with a light , barely there scent. A nice touch is the twist cap. You turn to the right to spray, left to close, meaning less chance of spills in the beach/boat/pool bag.
