Summer may be gone, but the sun’s rays will continue to shine for the rest of the year, which is why I was so thrilled to learn about Marie Veronique Organics Moisturizing Face Screen ($40). The formula, made with zinc oxide, as well as healing ingredients like red raspberry, sea buckthorn, jojoba oil, and carrot seed oil comes in three variations: no tint, light tint, and medium tint, allowing you to skip the foundation all together if you choose. The scent is definitely herbal, which is a nice reprieve from the coconut-infused (and mostly toxic) sunscreens commonly found on the market.
If you really want to up the ante of your skincare regimen, go for the full monty”the Anti-Aging Kit ($170). The four-piece combo set includes their exfoliating cleanser, Anti-Aging Mist, Anti-Aging Oil, and the Moisturizing Face Screen. While the line may not be cheap, the ingredients aren’t cheap either. The Berkeley-based company utilizes organic and fair-trade ingredients, as well as antioxidant-rich herbs and oils. I love their full disclosure policy. By going to this link, you can read about each ingredient found on their labels. How’s that for honesty?
