Saving Face with Sunscreen

Save your face like with four sunscreen products from Peter Thomas Roth, Clinique, Aveeno, and DDF.

Actresses Thandie Newton and Nia Long stay fresh for the cameras by protecting their luminous skin with sunscreen. While the sun is a good source for Vitamin D, too much can damage your skin. As an esthetician, I have to stress that sunscreen is excellent for slowing the aging process. Whether your skin is oily, dry, young or mature, there is a right sunscreen for you.

Save face with these protective sunscreen picks:
