Avene High Protection Tinted Compact SPF 50

Avene High Protection Tinted Compact SPF 50
$36

It was a glorious 4th of July weekend in the East, fair skies, plenty of sun and low humidity. Over the busy weekend, I got to try out the newest thing, that I had to have STAT.  Thank goodness for Amazon Prime...you can barely blink and "it", whatever "it" is, is sitting on your doorstep.

J'adore.

I am a fan of Avene products.  I wish they were more readily available.  I was first introduced to Avene Cicalfate Cream, after having a Halo Peel, performed by Dr. Mark Schwartz.  It is a soothing balm that feels like something you could use on a babies bum.  I needed to purchase my third tube, so I started perusing Avene products on Amazon, (the complete line is also available at Drugstore.com, though you may find yourself paying more for it.)

I spotted Avene High Protection Tinted Compact SPF 50 and was mightily impressed by the love fest reviewers felt for this product.  Interestingly, it was an absolute favorite of women athletes, from equestrians to race car drivers! Apparently it doesn't melt or budge and really does provide excellent sun protection.  Yippeee!  I should sail through my mat pilates class looking red carpet ready.

Naturally I had to try it.

Allure's 9 Best Anti-Aging Drugstore Finds

A few of Allure.com's picks for best anti-aging products available at drugstores and mass merchants

One of my regular beauty reads is Allure.com, (though I'm still a little cranky about their firing their Founder and 20 year Editor, Linda Wells.  I liked Linda and her monthly letter to her readers was one of the few I actually read, though I can't deny Allure needing a reboot.)

Every one of my senses perks up when I see an article about excellently rated drugstore beauty buys. As I was downloading this into my beauty file, knowing that I was getting perilously close to the bottom of my beloved Exuviance Age Reverse Cream and pondering my next purchase, I also thought I should share it with you.  All of the choices were recommended by top dermatologists, who actually refer them to their patients.

I'm leaning toward trying either the Garnier Ultra-Lift Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream or the Avene Yesthereal Anti-Wrinkle Cream, since I am currently using their Cicalfate Cream during the day and I am quite liking it.
