Neutrogena and a few other companies have started coming out with a helio-plex version of sunscreen. It protects people from UVA and UVB, not just one or the other. I always thought that sunscreens covered it all, but I guess not. And here we are!
I was at a local wholesale store (BJ's) and in need of suncreen. I sw the Neutrogena cooling mist, helio-plex sunblock and went, meh, sure I'll try it. The package came with 2 bottles of the stuff too!
The cooling mist has 45spf, which is pretty good coverage. And the mist is quite cooling. It has a nice smell to it, it can be a bit strong, but its a good smell.
The great thing is that it is a steady stream! With one press of a button I have my face, neck, arms and legs done pronto!
It lasts pretty much all day. I'm generally outside for a good portion of the days and it does a really good job protecting me. I haven't gotten much of a sunburn wise, except on the days I don't wear it..
It holds up very well to sweat and water.
Oh, and that greasy sunblock lotion? Gone for good! There is no greasiness with the spray! It is awsome! I haven't noticed any clogged pores, no goey mess. I used to hate when putting sunblock on getting it on the hands and then needing to wash my hands and forgetting and then getting that nasty taste! Gone!
This is a very good product. The spray stays wet for a few seconds so you know what areas have gotten hit and then you're done. It dries very quickly!
