FAV FEB PRODUCT - INVISIBLE ZINC - CHEMICAL-FREE SPF30+ SKINCARE RANGE
As an Angel having a physical experience on this earth, I am all too well aware that beauty is not only skin deep; that we DO need to be very careful to check what we are choosing to put onto our skin. In that area, I AM a bit of a purist. In fact, I normally just use almond oil with essential oil on my skin & face, but when I found THIS range, I got excited..........I've been looking for a tinted sunscreen that's affordable, & not full of nasties.......and I've found something that I recommend you get into your beauty-box faster than you can say "Has this got parabens in it?!" (No; it hasn't - yay!!)
I just want to say that I AM aware that high-profile products DO have too-many-to-mention nasties in them & can cause more skin problems than they advertise they're getting rid of (Sunscreens included here.......)
I have recently been trialling INVISIBLE ZINC TINTED DAYWEAR SPF 30+ - Anti-ageing facial moistouriser / natural sunscreen, with thanks to Auckland-based Nutritional Therapist Tonia Malva & the ladies at www.nzhealthstore.co.nz
The size I am trialling is a nice handy 50g at only NZ$40 - add $5 postage within NZ.
Upon applying, at first the creme shows as being shiny, but just be patient ladies, because after a couple of minutes, the sheen goes away & the product settles nicely on the skin. yes; it IS a "light" covering, so is NOT a concealer, but I have found it smooths out my complexion nicely (OK; I'm one of those girls who has good skin anyway; due to drinking lots of water & eating good food; but I do have a bit of redness, & the tint eases that out effectively). And, why do I love this?! Because it's NOT full of nasties!! In fact; here's the ingredient-listing, for those that Want To Know!:

www.nzhealthstore.co.nz has LOADS more products, but just for this months' review, we are focusing on the Invisible Zinc range - as taken from the website:
What is soooo good about Zinc Oxide?! A physical barrier between you and the sun. Invisible Zinc® protects against surface UVB and deeper penetrating UVA. Invisible Zinc® uses only one active ingredient -Zinc Oxide- a mineral reflector found in nature to create a physical, reflective veil on the surface of your skin. Invisible Zinc® uses micro-fine Zinc Oxide which although invisible to the naked eye still provides outstanding broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. True broad spectrum – offers consistent broad spectrum protection against UV(B) and UV(A) rays. Invisible Zinc® doesn’t break down in the sun. Invisible Zinc® means natural sun protection without skin whitening. Zinc Oxide has a long history of safe use in skin care products and is currently a key ingredient in many baby creams, calamine lotions and skin salves.
