Bzzing ... Coppertone CLEARLYSheer sunscreen



BzzAgent strikes again!  And with perfect timing ... The beginning of the summer is the right time to try a new sunscreen, and when I opened a box of Coppertone CLEARLYSheer sunscreen I couldn't wait to head to the beach and try it out!

The new Coppertone CLEARLYSheer sunscreen offers broad spectrum protection in two formulas:  CLEARLYSheer for Sunny Days and CLEARLYSheer for Beach & Pool.

CLEARLYSheer for Sunny Days is perfect for daily use.  My doctor has been recommending a daily application of sunscreen in the mornings as part of my routine, but I've never found a good one to use.  The ones I've tried are always greasy or heavy, clogged my pores or made me sweaty.  So I was skeptical that there was a sunscreen that I could use every day that wouldn't fail me.  But Coppertone did it ... their CLEARLYSheer for Sunny Days was light and smooth, not heavy and greasy.  My skin felt wonderful, and it actually has a fresh citrus scent, instead of smelling awful ... or like a coconut.  I'm not a big makeup wearer, but I think that you could easily apply makeup over it and it would smooth in perfectly.  And not only that, but it works wonderfully in protecting my skin from the sun.  I ended up at my son's baseball game after work that night, and there was no way to avoid sitting in the sun.  I wasn't sure if it would still be working after all the time that had passed since I applied it, but it worked great!  As a fair skinned blonde, I usually burn quickly but I amazingly made it through the hour long game with nary a pink spot.  I was very excited and satisfied.  I have a new daily use product that is easy to use, feels great and will protect me.

CLEARLYSheer for Beach & Pool is perfect for trips to the water.  We live near the lake, so spend a lot of time at the beach.  Too many times I have messed up the reapplication of sunscreen after dips in the lake and we've all ended up with strange sunburns in stripes and blotches.  Not terribly healthy.  Or in the reapply I end up rubbing sand into tender skin as I struggle to get sunscreen all over my wiggly beachy kids.  Bah.  So I was excited to try CLEARLYSheer Beach & Pool  on our next trip to the beach.  I applied at home, away from the sand.  It applied as nicely as the daily wear sunscreen did ... and so easy to get all over ... and easy to be sure to get every spot.  After several trips into the water, I was secure in the knowledge that we were protected for 80 minutes to stay protected regardless of how wet we got.  And a delight to not smell like coconuts ... a subtle tropical fruit  and flower scent was a pleasure to have on.  Our trip to the beach was a success, and CLEARLYSheer for Beach &Pool managed to keep up with my busy boys, and keep everyone safe.

To make it better, it comes in a lotion or spray!

All in all, I am thrilled with Coppertone CLEARLYSheer sunscreens for so many reasons, but, as we've come to expect from Coppertone, it works great ... more than great! ... and smells good, too ;)
