Delight of the Day: Yes to Carrots Products with Sunscreen

I don't have to tell you how important sun protection is during the summer, right? Even women of color should wear a moisturizer and lip balm with sunscreen daily.  And don't forget your hat and shades too. 

So if you're looking for a two-for-one benefit in your beauty products, say Yes to Carrots. I'm a big fan of the paraben-free products made with organic ingredients.  Plus, they're seriously affordable.

The wholesome brand's latest (available at Target and Walgreens) are infused with zinc oxide, a mineral that provides natural protection against UVA and UVB rays:


Hydrating Body Lotion with SPF-30 ($14.99) is made with organic carrots rich in natural vitamin A and aloe vera.

Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF-15 ($14.99) includes beta carotene-rich organic carrots and pumpkin seed oil.

Pomegranate Lip Butter with SPF-15 ($3.49) will protect your pout with vitamin A-and-E-rich shea butter and aloe vera.

Comments

  1. I've worn the body moisturizer a few times and all I can say is that I haven't been sunburned while wearing it around the city. But if you plan to go lay out on the beach I would also use a dermatologist recommended sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

Memorial Day Summer Swimsuits in the Amazon.com Swim Shop!

Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner.   Do you have your new summer swimsuit yet?  If not, Everything She Wants recommends checking out Amazon.com's  Amazon Swim Shop . Me at the Amazon Swim Shop preview. The online shop is stocked year-round with trendy and timeless swimsuit styles, cover ups and swim accessories from your favorite brands.
