Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Oil Original Moisturizing


Repeat after me: there is no such thing as a safe tan (unless it's sunless). So, disregard the instructions on the bottle: "to be used by those with a good tan." This has no sun protection at all!
Okay, now that we've gone over that, this oil does smell heavenly. That old fashioned coconutty tan beach smell. There is no reason why one can't use it as a moisturizing body oil-just use SPF when you are exposed to the sun.

Peter Thomas Roth Ultra Lite Oil-Free Sunblock SPF 30


Another great product from PTR! This is an extremely lightweight sunscreen-you can use it in place of moisturizer under your makeup and have a smooth application. Great for acne prone types who know they should be using sunscreen.

Philosophy When Hope is Not Enough SPF


Philosophy is a smart line. This anti-aging moisturizer gets right to the bottom line-to prevent aging protect your skin from UVA, UVB, and free radicals. No fancy marketing, no grand promises. This moisturizer has a broad spectrum SPF of 20, yet is non-sticky, and non-greasy. I used it today under my makeup, and it was perfect. It absorbs into the skin leaving a smooth surface for makeup to just glide over. And the smell-I guess it's the lavender oil, but to me it smells like a spicy blend of licorice and molasses taffy.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup


This foundation is a staple of my makeup kit. I've used it on film sets, photo shoots, theatre gigs, and myself. It has the rare ability of both providing good coverage and looking natural. Not only that, it is oil-free, but never looks dry, and has an SPF of 20. It even comes in a good variety of shades!

Healing Garden reNourish Moiture Lotion SPF 15

This lotion is not suitable to wear under makeup. It does not absorb into the skin and leaves a sticky film. As to use as a sunscreen, I would go with something stronger.
