I hope we caught you before you left for the beach for the 4th, because we don't want you to forget about your skin as you are enjoying a few deserved days off.
I first heard about Anthelios by La Roche-Posay from a dermatologist last year. I never go anywhere without sunscreen on my face (rain or shine) anymore. When I asked her what the best sunscreen on the market was today she said unequivocally, "Anthelios at least 50, but the problem is...you can't get the SPF that high in the U.S." So I had my mother track down some for me during a trip to France last year, and have been using this product on my face for awhile.
That was then, this is now. As of this past May, Anthelios 60 (SPF 60) with Cell-OX Shield is available in the U.S. Considered the next-gen in suncare protection, this revolutionary product offers dual protection with a patented combination of two powerful sun filters and anti-oxidants to further protect your skin down to the cellular level.
Anthelios by La Roche-Posay has been trusted by dermatologists worldwide for over 15 years for its advanced formulations in UVA and UVB protection. Go ahead and ask your doctor, but you don't need a prescription. There are three different formulations available: Anthelios 60 Ultra Light Fluid (normal to combination), Anthelios 60 Melt-in Milk (face and body) and Anthelios 60 Melt-in Lotion (normal to dry). None of the products contains Mexoryl SX.
Anthelios 60 is now available at CVS and Duane Reade drugstores or online at larocheposay.us.
Now go ahead and enjoy your break!

Great article! i actually have tried this product before and it does seem to work very well. I little bit on the pricey side for sunscreen though.
