Back in the 90s, there was a song that played way too many times on the radio. The Sunscreen Song. I was too young and immature to appreciate it at the time. But looking back at the lyrics, they now start to make some sense to me. Ladies, wear sunscreen. The sun's ultraviolet rays break down collagen, resulting in wrinkles, discoloration and sagging. I have tried more than a dozen sunscreens for my face. Most, if not all, are greasy, oily-looking or cakes and rubs off a white layer on my clothes. Not fab! The one that my skin actually absorbs and doesn't leave me looking shiny is Olay Complete. SPF 15 is also the minimum to preserve skin elasticity. Less than $10 for the 6 fl oz bottle. Also comes in a version for sensitive skin. You can read product reviews at drugstore.com here. I have combination skin (a bit oily in the T-zone), and Olay Complete doesn't break me out in the T-zones. Some people have found the fragrance annoying, but it's very light and doesn't bother me.
