May is Melanoma Awareness Month – My Favorite Sunscreens

May 2, 2014

May is Melanoma Awareness Month.  This weekend my brother, my daughters and I will be walking in the AIM for a Cure Melanoma Walk here in Dallas.  This is the 10th year of the walk and our 4th year participating.  We’re walking in memory of our mom and grandma who was taken way too soon from this dreadful cancer.  If you’re interested in donating to help find a cure the link is at the bottom of this post.  Thanks so much in advance!!

The keys to survival from melanoma are prevention and early detection.  Be sure to schedule an appointment with your dermatologist for annual skin exams.  It’s important to do monthly skin checks at home as well.  Know the ABCDE signs to look for.  And wear for sunscreen to prevent sunburns and sun damage from ever happening and NEVER go in tanning beds!  I’m sharing some of my favorite sunscreen with you below.  These are some that I’ve actually been using for the past few years.


My Favorite Sunscreens:


Elta MD UV Shield Broad-Spectrum SPF 45
Broad spectrum formula for complete protection
Non-grease formula keeps skin feeling and looking clean
Contains Z-cote, a longer-lasting sun block
Protects against aging UVA and burning UVB sun rays
Can be used over or under makeup throughout the year




Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer with SPF 30
Accelerated Retinol Sa fades the look of stubborn wrinkles
Brightens skin tone
Smooth fine lines & texture
Fades the look of stubborn wrinkles
SPF 30




Purminerals CC Cream Broad-Spectrum SPF 40

I wear the medium shade and it’s a perfect match for my skin year round.

SPF 40 foundation and primer
Color-correcting brightener
Clarifying control cream
Anti-aging moisturizer

Both of my outfits in this video are extremely comfortable, wrinkle resistant, travel friendly and versatile.

Outfit 1: The Tillie Top and Lolly pants are 2 of my favorite pieces that I often pair together. They both come in solids and some beautiful prints as well as different fabrics.✨

Outfit 2: The Delphine Dress is perfection with its flattering fit. I love the Black and Red Grand Plaid print.

By adding a few accessories I make each outfit my own. Don’t you just love that about accessories?!💖

Unfortunately, our tour of Corfu, Greece was a bust today because we had the rainiest day here. But the good news is that the sun is now shining and it should remain that way for the remainder of our cruise.☀️

My sweatshirt, packable jacket and rain hat are 3 of my best travel pieces and they all came in handy today. Let me know if you want the details.😉
