Banana Boat Natural Reflect Sunscreen Review & Giveaway

I am fair skinned, blonde hair, blue eyed and have freckles. I think it's safe to say I NEED sunscreen! As I've gotten older I have become more conscious about wearing it even when I think I won't need it. That's why I am so happy I have Banana Boat!

I have been using Banana Boat for years. It is the only brand I like to use. From review I received 3 Banana Boat Natural Reflect sunscreens. I received one regular, one for kids and one for babies.

This is Banana Boat's newest line of sunscreens. Natural Reflect lotions offer sun protection using naturally sourced sunscreen actives that reflect UVA and UVB rays. It underwent extensive testing in seven real life conditions. Those conditions were sun, pool water, ocean water, wind, sweat, sand, and even 100 degree heat! All of that to ensure sun protection.

I am in all of those conditions. We have a boat and we have a pool on base, that covers all of them. So, I tested them all myself. I used the baby Natural Reflect, my kids used the kids and my husband used the regular. It passed the test on all levels. None of us got burnt and the sunscreen held up.

Here is a little about each of the sunscreens I received.

Banana Boat Sunscreen Natural Reflect Lotion SPF 50+

• Dermatologist tested
• Gentle on sensitive skin
• Suggested retail price: $11.49 for 4oz. tube

Banana Boat Sunscreen Kids Natural Reflect Tear-Free Sting-Free Lotion SPF 50+

• Pediatrician tested
• Hypoallergenic
• Won't run into eyes
• Suggested retail price: $11.40 for 4oz. tube

Banana Boat Sunscreen Baby Natural Reflect Tear-Free Sting-Free Lotion SPF 50+

• Pediatrician tested
• Fragrance-free
• Hypoallergenic
• Mild on baby's delicate skin
• Suggested retail price: $11.49 for 4oz. tube

Overall, I am very happy with Natural Reflect. I protects the ways I need it to and let's my family and I have a great time. It's not greasy and the smell is pleasant. What more can you ask for!?

One of my lucky readers is going to win 3 Banana Boat Natural Reflect lotions! Good luck!

Even though the cooler weather is here, and the cold weather is on it's way, that doesn't mean that you have to stop worrying about the sun on your skin. Your skin can get damaged in the winter too! So, I've turned to Jenulence!

I received a jar of the Green Tea Sun Cream for review. I take skin care seriously being that I have fair skin. Which means that I have freckles and I will wrinkle faster than other people my age. I also have a very high risk of skin cancer. Doesn't this all sound wonderful!?

Well, the Green Tea Sun Cream has helped me out a lot. Not only is it a moisturizer, but it also has sun block in it! It is light and nourishing with a 10 SPF. That is perfect for putting under your makeup or anytime!

The cream is created with all natural ingredients such as Green Tea, Sesame Seed oil, African Shea butter, Coconut oil and St. John's wort oil. All of these oils are known to be natural sun blockers. Natural is the way to go!

The cream is pack with vitamins and antioxidants. Doesn't that sound like something you'd want to use. I love when I hear the word antioxidant! The cream will keep your skin moisturized under all makeup types! Not only does it keep your skin moisturized, but it also helps prevent sunburn, freckles, and wrinkles!

Jenulence also sells mineral makeup, other natural skin care products, men's products, items for bath and body, and handmade wooden sauna sandals! And for that person on your Christmas list that is hard to buy for, you can get them a Jenulence gift certificate!

Neutrogena UltraSheer® Liquid Sunblock Review

I have really enjoyed using this product! I have very fair skin. Not to mention the freckles! I know skin cancer is not too far in the future! Usually when buying sunscreen for my face, it's a pain. I have sensative skin and will break out in a rash depending on the sunscreen. I love this product because it's 70spf! That is a MUST for me! I've worn it quite a few times being out in the sun all day. Not once did I get burned on my face! Also, it didn't bother my skin at all! I also like that you can wear it under your makeup! It also has a nice smell. It didn't reak of sunscreen! I didn't find one thing to complain about! I will continue to use Neutrogena UltraSheer® Liquid Sunblock!
