SkinCeuticals: Kid Tested, Mom Approved

"Mom, I LOVE it," said my ten year old daughter. "It goes on so soft and creamy," said my eight year old daughter.

While I know SkinCeuticals makes great sunblocks, I had my daughters put the new Sport UV Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50 ($40) to the test. They abhor applying sunscreen and I knew they would love it.

This is the "upgrade" to the SPF 45, which is the only sunblock I would ever wear to the beach. The micronized titanium dioxide makes it the best block I have ever used. With more protection and a creamier, easier to apply formula, it is the biggest no-brainer around.

Both girls are getting one for their camp bags!
