From Parent Reviewers I received samples of a new line of facial sunscreens from Screen, Inc. called Screen Routine. Sunscreen commercials always show people rubbing it on their arms or backs, but you never see TV commercials for people applying sunscreen to their faces, and that’s a shame. My son went to a pool party before I received the samples, and didn’t apply any of the sunscreen I sent with him to his face, and came home with a burned forehead, nose, and cheeks. Screen Routine has come up with a line of products that protects the facial skin of tweens through adults.

When we went to the zoo last weekend, I applied the “tween” screen to my 9 year old, the “teen” screen to my 11 year old (who is already developing breakouts on his face), “man” screen to my husband, and “chic” screen to my own face. All the products started out white but blended in quickly with no oily residue. Of the four formulas, only the Tween Screen is scented for some reason, and it has a pleasant tropical fragrance. The other three formulas are unscented. Shop the Screen, Inc. website to purchase individual 3 ounce tubes or buy it by the case. A tube is $14.00, which might seem pricey, but this is a quality product. I say $14.00 is worth it to avoid a painful and dangerous facial sunburn!
