Burt’s Bees Renewal Firming Day Lotion w/SPF 30 does everything a great moisturizer should – and helps protect skin from UVA and UVB rays with gentle, mineral sunscreen actives Titanium dioxide and Zinc oxide. I love the lightweight, slightly creamy texture that goes on smoothly and absorbs fairly quickly without leaving a white, ashy cast on my face. It doesn’t blend in instantly and does take a few extra seconds to become completely invisible but that’s not a deal breaker…. at least for me! The formula provides a good dose of moisture for my dry skin without a heavy, tacky feel. It doesn’t leave a greasy or shiny finish and also wears nicely under makeup. That said, I think the formula is overall more suitable for normal to dry/combination skin types and not so much for those with oily to very oily skin.

The only thing I don’t like about this product is the scent that’s a little too strong for me. It’s a fruity-floral kind of fragrance that I don’t really enjoy but thankfully it dissipates within a minute or two after application.

Overall, Burt’s Bees Renewal Firming Day Lotion SPF 30 is a great daily facial sunscreen that combines effective mineral-based sun protection with an elegant texture (that doesn’t leave your complexion washed out) and anti-aging benefits to boot. Pick it up next time you are at Target, Ulta or Walgreens for $19.99…it’s definitely worth trying out!
