Jersey Shore Sans Tan Sunscreen SPF 35 and Dermalogica Protection 50 Sport SPF 50

So instead of having these two sunscreens face off in a little battle, I thought it would be more fun just to try each one and review them for what they are. Honestly, I was going to the beach and thought it would be fun to sneak in one last sunscreen post before the summer ends. I also want to  tell you that both of these companies sent me samples to review on my blog about two months ago, but as always I will give nothing but my honest opinion on both products.

Let's take a closer look at the claims and the companies:

Jersey Shore Sun Sans Tan Anti-Aging Sunscreen SPF 35- Something I think is really awesome is that this brand is not only cruelty free, but this product is also free of things like parabens, retinyl palmintate, oxybenzon, and a bunch of other yucky stuff you may not want on your body. It's also fragrance free and 100% natural, organic, and non- GMO ingredients. Jersey shore says it's also "reef safe" and FDA approved for babies under 6 months. So it just basically sounds awesome. The full size is 2 oz. and retails for $40.

Dermalogica Protection 50 Sport SPF 50- This company is geared towards making your skin as healthy as possible and less about glamor. This particular product is water-resistant for up to 40 minutes, and offers broad spectrum protection. The brand was founded by a professional esthetician who wanted to put the focus on products to better the health of the skin rather than how beautiful it was. All of their products are manufactured in the USA and they do not test any of their products on animals. The full size of this is 5.3 oz. and retails for $32.

How the products preformed:

As for the SPF factor, I think they protected about the same (not taking water into account). but the differences came down to application, smell and feel.

Jersey Shore Sans Tan Anti-Aging Sunscreen- I have to say, this has a thicker consistency so I like it more on my face than my body. It takes a bit if work to rub in and because it's more of a physical sunscreen than a chemical one, it's visible on the skin as well as a bit heavier feeling. But it's amazing for what it is and nice on the face if you aren't taking lot's of flash pictures. This is also fragrance free and it's not like the natural smell was gross.

Dermalogica Protection 50 Sport SPF 50- This stuff feels exactly how it claims. It does not feel greasy and absorbs quickly into your skin without feeling heavy. I really enjoyed the way this feels on and that their really wasn't too much of a sunscreen smell.

What this really comes down to is personal preference. I like both of these for different reasons and they are both awesome products. I want to give a big thank you to Dermalogica and Jersey Shore Sun for sending me the samples. That's all I have on this for today!
