Neutrogena Beach Defense Water Resistant Sunscreen

So happy I found this product - my skin is usually suffocated by thick and waxy sunscreens that never feel as if they have totally absorbed. This felt no different to a moisturiser, and yet my skin - which usually burns in minutes - was well protected for the whole time I was in direct sunlight. This is going to totally change my holidays!

My Doctor recommended three sun screens to me. Only three actually fully protect the skin from harmful sun rays according to the Doctor. Beach Defense is one of the three, and the one I can afford to purchase. I have been using this sun screen for three years now. I spend a considerable time outdoors, swimming, biking and hiking. At my advanced age I must be careful to avoid over exposure to the sun, but I love being active outdoors. This product allows me to be outside in the sun, daily. Best I can determine, it has done well in preventing the occurrence of any sort of early skin cancer development. I have not developed any sunburned skin, or nasty blisters on my face, especially the nose, using this sun screen.

I’ve been meaning to write a review for this sunscreen but I have not made the time to do so until now. I’ve been looking for sunscreen that does not leave that white film on my black skin ; I read an article in O magazine where experts ( payed for by the sunscreen manufactures) list their top list of sunscreen that is great for black skin that does not leave us looking like freaks, I’m sad to report the ones I tried on that list were very expensive and did absolutely nothing; that’s not true, they did somethings: they cause me to screamed and mourned my hard earn money. I even tried La prairie which is suppose to be the best of the best. This one did nothing but invited all the pores on my face to a party. This line of Neutrogena sunscreen is a god send for my face. I go on long hikes with dog at least three times a week. My melanin soldiers along with this sunscreen keeps my skin protected without the creepy white film.

The best way I explained to my white friends how the sun feels on black skin vs white skin is to imagine laying in the sun under a black sheet then try the same thing with a white sheet. Yes, we too get burn

With that said, this sunscreen is hands down the best I have ever used and here's why.
1. It's the highest SPF I could find in a sunscreen at 70.
2. Protects against the UVA and UVB light spectrum.
3. PABA free.
4. NON-GREASY - For me this is a big deal. Having greasy hands in any way while holding a paddle grip totally sucks.
5. Last's me for hours and hours - In most cases I only need to apply this once and no matter how hot it get's or how much I sweat it stays on and protects me for hours.

So, if you play outdoor sports for hours, sweat your business off and need MAX protection in a non greasy sunscreen, definitely give this a shot.

I just returned from a trip to the Carribean and I barely have a tan after being in the sun for 5 days straight. The last time I was in Dominican Republic, I was severely burned after one day in the sun even after reapplying every two hours.

This worked immediately and it stayed put for several hours. I applied it and went straight into the ocean and it did not come off. I reapplied a few hours later and didn't even have a hint of a burn (I burn easily). One bottle lasted for over 5 days of heavy beach exposure and applications every 2-3 hours about 4-5 times per day.

Would highly, highly recommend or beach/pool trips.
