Spunky Southern Belle

Summer Skincare..... You better care! 

I tend to have combination skin in the summer.  I often find that moisturizers are too heavy for me and sunscreens just make my skin feel greasy.  These are some products I discovered this summer that I really like.  They are moisturizing, protecting and non-greasy/pore clogging.  What are your favorite skincare products of the summer?  

I have read conflicting articles and research that says if sunscreen is over a SPF of 30, it does not matter.  SPF is technically only blocking UVB rays and not UVA, which can also do damage.  Either way, I figure a higher SPF certainly is not harmful.   The real reason I like this is because of the way it feels on my face.  It is not greasy, glides on smoothly and does not clog my pores.  

I have recently started using this at night all over my face and neck.  It is so light I use it along with a retinoid.  I just got back from out West and my skin became so dry/dehydrated.  Using this serum seemed to help and it also works well under a foundation or powder.   The feeling is a-maz-ing! 

Hands-down this is one of the best drug store products I have ever used.  I also know a few dermatologist even recommend Cetaphil.  Their line has been around for a long time.  I think of it as similar to the old face cream Noxzema.  But, while Noxzema always seemed to give me more break-outs, this moisturizer helps to balance my skin.  I use is every day first thing in the morning.
