Go Orange for Melanoma Monday! Sun Safety with Neutrogena...

But all three of my girls are much more fair than I AND I am far more knowledgeable than I once was-I no longer mistakenly believe that those with darker skin are immune to sun damage. So I was happy to receive a selection of Neutrogena sun care products to review, as well as to have the opportunity to share some information about these products, as well as sun safety in general. 

Moisturize, Protect, and Prime in One Step with Suntegrity

There's really a whole lot to love about Suntegrity's Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen & Primer with Broad Spectrum SPF 30. As a mommy (and with a hubby who doesn't quite understand why it takes me so long to put on makeup just to look like I don't have on any makeup), I'm a huge fan of any product that multi-tasks and this wonder does just that beautifully. This 3 in 1 product is a face moisturizer, sunscreen, and makeup primer all in one. It hydrates the skin with luxe ingredients like hyaluronic acid (which holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water) and provides broad spectrum protection against damaging sunrays. Because it leaves your skin with a silky smooth and flawless finish, it also serves as the perfect makeup primer!
