If you don't know already, applying sunblock/sunscreen will protect you from the sun's harmful UV rays. It is important to apply some before exposing your skin to the sun because the sun is probably the number 1 cause of wrinkles. Prevent now and suffer less once you hit your mid 30's.

This particular sunblock claims that it is oil-free, won't clog pores, lightweight, non-greasy, sweatproof, and waterproof. Hmm.... WELL.... from my experience, it clogged my pores, it feels heavy, and looked really greasy on my face. This is the main reason why I tend to stay away from neutrogena products. It does the opposite of what it claims for me.

Since I already bought it, I might as well use it all up... BUT not on my face. I did notice that when I applied it on my body, it seemed to absorb really well. I guess it wasn't a complete waste after all.

When shopping for sunblock or sunscreen, pay close attention to the active ingredients.
