Drugstore Beauty: Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew

IMG_0246.JPGI had a facial last week somewhere new, and of course- they

begin by asking what products I use on a daily basis. My esthetician was

shocked and horrified when I admitted that I did not use sunscreen every day (I

know!! It’s terrible!). Since then I have been in an all out product frenzy to

find a moisturizer with a decent  SPF. There are two reasons I can’t

stand wearing sunscreen 1) the smell 2) the greasy feeling you’re left with. Skin

Renew Anti Sun-Damage daily moisture lotion does such a fantastic job of

masking the smell of the sunscreen agent with a light fruity

scent, that for once in my life I looked forward to putting in on!! (I caution

you, this is not for those of you purists that hate any scent in your products.

) And with a 28 spf that covers both the uva and uvb spectrum, Skin Renew will carry you through your entire day without

the necessity to reapply.  As for the greasy feeling: Garnier is better than most but I’m not sure you can get around ANY residual product unless you’re using a powder

mineral makeup with spf (which I don’t entirely trust) so just using one pump and following with light dust of powder instead of liquid foundation should do the

trick. Plus, since it also reduces the signs of aging- maybe all those years of

forgoing my spf can be undone?? (at least I can hope!!) …and with a price tag of just $12.99 —what have you got to loose besides more sun damage?
