If there's one thing you should never forget to apply on your face before leaving the house, it's sun protection. The sun can bring damage to the skin by exacerbating acne, inducing premature aging and wrinkles, worsening freckles, and causing skin cancer. There is an abundance of products in the market today that promise to bring great results to consumers; however, very few can deliver.

I have tested scores of moisturizers and creams with SPF protection but they always left my skin greasy. Since I have sensitive skin, this led to breakouts and blemishes. I have tried different products and was left disappointed until I found the holy grail of sun protection on a budget. Olay Complete All Day Moisture Lotion with SPF 15 for Sensitive Skin is all an urbanite like me will ever need in a moisturizing cream. It is very light and gets absorbed immediately by the skin. Most importantly, for a sunscreen, it does not dry up white, either. On the contrary, it gives my skin a dewy glow all through the day. These are reasons why it's great to use under makeup, but believe me, you can forego the foundation once you have this on.

It also contains the antioxidant Vitamin E that helps reduce scarring which is a plus for me since I break out during my period. It is also non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog your pores. In addition, it is made to be color, fragrance, and PABA free. Although PABA (para-amino benzoic acid) is a UVB absorber, many people who have sensitive skin react poorly to it. Moreover, since it already gives you SPF 15, you do not have to pile on products on your face. Bottom line is, you get the moisture your skin needs and get to protect it without that heavy, greasy feeling.

One thing to remember, though, that this is only compatible for everyday use with minimal to average sun exposure. You will need a product with a higher SPF if you plan on spending long hours in the sun, such as a day at the beach, or if you play outdoor sports.

Using a product such as this, however, will not guarantee that you blemishes, sunspots, and freckles will be eradicated. What it does is minimizes the damage that the sun will do to our skin. Let's face it. Only genetics will determine the fate of our skin. The best we can do is take care of what we have.
