Great Product for Summer

With summer on its way, I thought it would be a good idea to purchase some powdered sunscreen. I am one of those people who has really oily skin and hates the texture of sunscreen. I purchased Peter Thomas Roth's Oily Problem Skin Instant Mineral SPF 30 Sunscreen. I think it's a really good product- it's easy to apply when you're in a rush and doesn't have that icky feeling of sunscreen. It's so handy that you can toss it in your purse and reapply anytime. It's also great for oily skin because it's mattifying and oil absorbing. For people without oily skin, there's another version that is SPF 45 so check that out.

This is what it looks like:

So to use it you basically just take off the cap and dust yourself wherever you want sun protection as it automatically comes out. Then, the middle part pulls up so you can recap the brush.

Have you tried any other powder sunscreens? Let me know!

Great Moisturizer for Oily Skin

Clinque's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

for Combination Oily to Oily Skin

I'm sure most of you have already heard about this product, but I just recently discovered it. I tried a sample and loved it so I just picked up the regular size. I have very oily skin - within an hour of putting on my makeup, my face starts to shine. This gel feels so lightweight but is moisturizing at the same time. I noticed that once I put it on it leaves minimal residue and shine compared to other moisturizers. It also goes on very smoothly and has not caused any problems with my acne prone skin. In combination with my Revlon Colorstay foundation, my face stays shine free much longer throughout the day. I definitely recommend this for everyone with oily skin! It's been a lifesaver!

For those of you with dry skin, I believe Clinique has another product similar to this except that it is a lotion instead of a gel. I have heard great things about it, so check that out as well!
