Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Body Mist Sunblock

This is an outstanding sunscreen and may even be what I have been waiting for my whole life. :) That might sound extreme, but I might actually be in love with this product.cooling mist spray sunscreen

Doctors and skin care professionals tell us we need to wear sunscreen every day - rain, snow or shine - to prevent skin wrinkles, skin cancer and hyper-pigmentation. Sunscreen is an essential skin care element, and actually, the most important cosmetic you wear.

I have been searching for a sunscreen that doesn't feel gloppy on, won't make me break out, is easy to reapply and pleasant to use. This SPF 70 sunscreen wins on all counts!

First off, Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Body Mist Sunblock comes in a spray container. You press the nozzle and a very fine mist comes out. The mist dries instantly, leaving no sticky residue. No need to rub anything in: you totally forget you have this on.

You can stick this can of sunscreen by the door to spray on your arms, neck and face on your way out each morning. There is no longer any excuse to *not* wear sunscreen every day.

My husband, who has a skin condition and needs to wear sunscreen daily, will actually wear this product without making a face. That's worth a lot to us right there. :)

Secondly, this spray is very pleasant to use. There is a clean subtle scent, and you feel a lovely cooling sensation as the mist touches your skin. On hot days it feels great!

Thirdly, with this sunscreen you can actually get sun protection into the cracks and crevices normally missed, like around the ears, the back of the neck, the bald spot on top of someone's head.

The directions do NOT encourage spraying this product on your face. This is probably because the manufacturers don't want anyone breathing in the sunscreen or getting it into their eyes. They instead suggest spraying it on your hands and then rubbing it on your face.

I have found it works just fine if you close your eyes, hold your breath, and lean into a burst of mist you spray into the air in front of your face. This feels nice with the cooling effect, and makes a nice even layer of sunscreen over my entire face.

Putting the sunscreen on in this manner is a GREAT way to make sure you have sunscreen on every day, even if you are already wearing makeup. You can do your daily morning "face" with a moisturizing facial sunscreen, then makeup, then a spritz of this sunscreen to "set" and protect your face. You can even reapply the sunscreen throughout the day, without needing to remove and re-apply makeup!

While I have nothing but raves about this sunscreen, I wonder about the cooling sensation *after* summertime. In the dead of winter, I am not sure I'll want a "cooling mist."

But this is really a minor quibble in a dream-come-true cosmetic. I believe I will actually be able to wear sunscreen *every day* for once!
