Ultrasolar 50 (UVA/UVB Protection with Micronized ZnO) 4 oz (120 Grams)

You should protect your skin from the sun to prevent burns and discomfort—as well as reduce the visible signs of aging—but you may dread wearing sunscreen because of the way it makes your skin feel. Not only is the occasionally slimy or oily texture of sunscreen an issue, but safety is, as well. Chemical-based sunscreens can sometimes cause more damage to your skin because they may allow the UV rays to soak into the inner layers of your skin, where deeper damage can take place. In addition, some chemicals can cause health problems on their own.

Physical sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium oxide are a much safer option, due to the way they work: this type of sunscreen blocks the UV rays from entering into the deeper layers of your skin altogether. The problem is that many physical sunscreens leave a thick white layer on the skin; while it may look good on surfers, you may prefer a more discreet type of protection from the sun.

DeVita’s Ultra Solar 50 is a safe physical sunscreen that’s cosmetically appealing. Instead of leaving a thick, white residue on your skin, Ultra Solar 50 feels like a regular moisturizer. This sunscreen contains ingredients that will protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, which may help make your skin look younger.

The texture of this sunscreen is light and feels so nice that you won’t even remember you are wearing it. You can even wear it under makeup, allowing you to protect yourself on a regular basis (daily exposure—even through clouds—can be more harmful in the long run than a day at the beach). Some of the ingredients in this sunscreen are:

• Zinc Oxide—a physical sunscreen and natural mineral
• Titanium Dioxide—another mineral that works to protect you from the sun naturally
• Aloe Vera Gel—a gentle and soothing skin moisturizer
• Vitamin E—an antioxidant that may counteract some damage from UV rays
• Comfrey Root—an herb that can soothes your skin

Apply Ultra Solar 50 by DeVita to your skin liberally before sun exposure. Reapply it every 90 minutes, after swimming, or after excessive sweating.
