Screen Routine Facial Sunscreens
Written by Elizabeth on June 30, 2008 – 4:30 pm -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!

I’ve got a prize package of four products for one lucky winner, and having received samples for myself, I can tell you that all of them are fantastic. The total retail value of this prize package is $125.97! This is what the winner will receive:
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 85 with Helioplex SRP $9.99
Sun protection is not just for the beach. Research indicates that the key to proper sun safety is protection from a lifetime of cumulative sun damage. It is important to think beyond the short-term prevention of a sunburn taking preventative measures to protect yourself against the damage that appears over the course of a lifetime. The higher the SPF number, the better protected you are over a longer period of time. If you look at it from a cumulative perspective, applying an extremely high broad-spectrum UVA/UVB product like NEW Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 85 with Helioplex will ensure less damage over a lifetime.
Aveeno Continuous Protection Sunblock Spray SPF 70 with Active Photobarrier Complex SRP $10.99
According to Aveeno, the amount of sun exposure you receive over an entire year is equivalent to being at the beach for an entire week without any sun protection, and in fact, 80% of your lifetime sun exposure comes from daily activities. A broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunblock like Aveeno’s NEW Continuous Protection Sunblock Spray SPF 70 formulated with Active Photobarrier Complex will deliver very high, very broad and photostable protection, shielding your skin from burning UVB rays and aging UVA rays over a longer period of time.
Ambi Even & Clear Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 SRP $9.99
Women of African, Latin and South Asian descent have higher levels of levels of melanin but still need the broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection offered by an advanced SPF product. With Ambi Even & Clear Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30, a unique daily moisturizer with SPF that bears the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation, darker skin tones are protected while visibly reducing skin discolorations.
Remergent High Intensity DNA Repair + SPF 30 SRP $95.00
Incidental sun damage, which is present all year round, is specifically seen with short wave UVA rays that have the ability to pass through clouds and glass are largely responsible for premature signs of aging including photodamage, fine lines and wrinkles and may contribute to early signs of skin cancer. With highly advanced biotechnology skincare products like Remergent High Intensity DNA Repair + SPF 30, your skin’s DNA repair mechanism is prompted to self-correct actually reducing the visible signs of sun damage while providing daily protection. Additionally, this potent daily corrector offers patented DNA repair enzymes, antioxidants and moisturizing emollients to repair and condition as it protects.
Couple of things-the Ambi Even & Clear Daily Moisturizer is designed for women with darker skin, but I’ve been using it every few days, alternating with my regular moisturizer, and it absorbs really well and makes my skin feel soft. Also, did you notice the retail value on the Remergent? NINETY FIVE DOLLARS? This is some serious skin pampering, people.
