Fantastic Find – Devita Solar Body Block SPF 30+ Luxury Solar Body Lotion

Being a little obsessed with SPF, I am always experimenting with new sunscreens but I can’t remember the last SPF moisturizer I was this crazy about. I’m in love with this solar body block because it’s equally wonderful as a facial moisturizer. In fact, it’s probably the best one I have tried so far…….read on to find out more!

Here’s why I love it so much:

• Offers broad spectrum UVA/UVB sun protection with 19% zinc oxide
• Absolutely NO white cast (seriously!)
• Lightweight lotion texture goes on very smoothly and absorbs quickly
• Keeps dry skin well-moisturized without the shine or grease factor. Has a semi-matte finish that should work even for oily skin beauties.
• All-natural, unscented formula is suitable for sensitive skin and use around the eyes. (no need for a separate eye cream with SPF for daytime)
• Packed with effective anti-aging ingredients like Hyaluronic acid, Vitamins B, E, C and green tea to name a few.
• Convenient packaging in an opaque tube (which prevents the potent ingredients from deteriorating) with a flip top cap.
• Inexpensive –  $27.95 for 7oz (Even with daily use, the 7oz tube is going to last me at least 3-4 months)

 

Can you tell how excited I am about this fabulous find? I love the light lotion texture that doesn’t leave my face tacky and for once I don’t have to worry about the unsightly white cast that all the physical suncreens typically have. The only thing that got me was the inclusion of Lavender oil in the formula. I tend to avoid skin-care products with lavender oil or extract because lavender could be a potential irritant for your skin with long-term use (you can refer to this post for more details) That said, I will continue to use this moisturizer for now since lavender is present in a small amount (listed at the end of ingredients).
