I’m a sunscreen fanatic. Yes, truly I am. Raised in Miami, I had surgery under my right eye for melanoma when I was 26. Did I want to give up golf? Horseback riding? My tomboy lifestyle? NEVER! (And I even wanted to keep the Swamp Rides on Okeefenoki Trail!). SO – I became a Sunscreen Diva.
Usually, I just pick up whatever is on sale. Water Babies SPF50 has always been my staple, because let’s face it; SPF50 is NOT a light cream. And I surely didn’t want to slave zinc oxide under my makeup!
I didn’t know that different sunscreens provide different protection from harmful environmental elements, however. And when I moved to Utah 6 years ago from Providence, I also didn’t realize that the 4,000 ASL altitude and the mountain heights were harsh on skin. That, along with searing heat and a desert climate wasn’t helping my skin, my newly formed wrinkles, or my terror of contracting sun cancer again.
When I received Epionce Ultra Shield in the mail, I was more than ready to try it. And I loved it. It DOES contain zinc oxide, and yet you can’t even tell that I have it on under my makeup. It is the lightest sunscreen I have every tried, and never goops on my skin. It has the texture of the creamiest and lightest of foundations. OK, that’s the FEEL part, but what about the protection?
According to the information I received from Epionce, this summer the FDA will enforce new rules and regulations for sunscreen products. With this change, millions of sunbathers will learn how unreliable some of their favorite sunscreen products are when it comes to protecting themselves from harmful UV rays that can lead to prematurely aging skin and cancer. Epionce’s Ultra Shield works to keep skin protected, hydrated and rejuvenated all summer – and winter – long.
The Ultra Shield Lotion was specifically formulated to stand out from other sunscreens on the market by being anti-inflammatory, light and quick absorbing, and VERY water resistant. Also, there is no ODOR in Ultra Shield. Epionce is an exclusive product available only through your dermatologist and select online vendors.
Epionce was awarded Best Anti-Aging Skin Care Line at THE Aesthetics Show in Las Vegas earlier this month.
I can only tell you that I LOVED this product and even when I forgot my sunhat on high altitude mountain hikes, I felt protected, and was. The feel, no odor and lightness of this product made it a winner on my list, and I also loved that it contains zinc oxide.
For All Skin Types – Active Shield Lotion SPF30+ and Ultra Shield Lotion SPF50 are certainly on my lists for all my friends! AND NO WHITE RESIDUE or skin rashes!
Epionce you rock!
Epionce Ultra Shild SPF50 can be purchased directly from their website.
