Sunscreen Must: Colore Science Mineral Powder

Sunscreen Must: Colore Science Mineral Powder

June 24, 2010

I’m not pimping this powdery mineral magic potion for any other reason that I love it, and want others to know its wonder. Really. If you sweat sunscreen these days … brands, chemicals, burning eyes, grease, get to know this natural sunmazingness from ColoreScience.

I discovered it while getting a facial at The Montage, and put it on my Mother’s Day wish list. So I’ve used it often since and it’s better than I imagined.

The gush is genuine, and I have our $63’ish receipt to prove it. I know $63 for sunscreen? Say what! It’s worth it. I hate chemical anything. I hate sunscreen burning my eyes (struggle every pool season), I don’t like the greasy number it does on my pores and I’m all for no sun aging damage on my face. That said, I just had to try this waterproof (how’s that possible, I know?) powder fabulousness for more than my one-time Montage application.

My family indulged me Mother’s Day and the ColoreScience has delivered on all my demands. But what surprised me most was that I was using it on the rest of my family too (sharing my “Mom’s only, don’t touch!” luxe treat).

Everywhere we go, I have it in my purse—with no worry that it will spill and goo my our purse paraphernalia. And I swipe the kids and hubby whenever sun hits. The close their eyes, I powder ‘em up in seconds and we’re done. No “You got it in my eyes. It burns. Ooh I don’t want any.” None of the above. Even the hubby doesn’t get burned now.

It’s changed my daily battle and life in a way. I stress less, am pampering my skin naturally and am not fighting with my kids!

Give it a go. I got mine for faces, but also have brushed it on bodies at the beach. The line also comes with a roller ball (pictured here, maybe better for bodies), and it’s available in shades (makeup shades like a foundation); if you’re going for all-family coverage, I suggest perfectly clear.

Just wanted to share the love.

You can pick it up at Spa Montage gift store, (or order online).
