Best Anti-aging Sunscreens for Full Spectrum UVA/UVB Protection

May 10, 2012 by Juliann

Youthful skin begins with sunscreen.  To prevent those dreaded wrinkles and lines you must protect your skin from those awful (although life sustaining) sun rays.

If you are like me, you cannot just use ANY sunscreen on your face.  My face tends to get very oily with most sunscreens,  I prefer a product that multi-tasks as a moisturizer, as well as an anti-aging cream.  I prefer something very light (with no white residue) that I can wear under my daily foundation, but powerful enough to protect my delicate facial, neck and chest skin.

I have had the priveledge of putting two of this years top reccommended full-spectrum sunscreens to the test, and I am very impressed with the results.

And here are the winners:

 

1.)  EmerginC SPF30

This product is lightweight and easy to apply. It also has zinc oxide which provides great protection for your skin, but it does not leave a white residue. It completely absorbs into the skin.

I have tried each one of these sunscreens, as well as given samples to my nieces who work with their father in Eastern Oregon on a cattle ranch.  The report has come back from my neices, ages 20 and 18 that they have never used a better facial sunscreen than the emerginC sun 30+ or the DNA Defense SPF 30+  no sticky residue, no sunburned faces and no zits!  (Which are usually a problem with other sunscreens these girls use.)  For me, the sunscreens equally protect my skin, they never clog my pores and they never make my face shine.  I love them!


I received samples of the products listed above.  The opinions are my own.

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.
