Review: Neutrogena Healthy Glow Sheers

May 23, 2011 by Melanie

First off, welcome to my new beauty blog! I’ve moved on over from OnSugar because I really wanted to be able to control how my blog and entries looked. I’ve spent a lot of time on the theme and the coding, so I hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you encounter any problems or have any suggestions.

As we all know, summer is upon us…which means sunscreen is needed even more, and full on makeup may feel like too much to wear. I’ve done a lot of research of different types of tinted moisturizers, and decided to settle on a drugstore brand one to save some money. I wanted it to be a high SPF as well. I was stuck between getting this or Aveeno, but I ended up choosing this.

I’ve been wearing mineral foundation for so long, that it was weird to put something on my face that was liquid. The first thing that I realized is that this is not a moisturizer (and, technically, it doesn’t say “moisturizer” on the product anywhere). You need to use a moisturizer before this…unless you have really oily skin. The smell is basically sunscreen. While the smell of sunscreen might be annoying, I kind of liked it because the smell kind of helped me to be assured that my skin was being protected. I was hoping that this wouldn’t dry my skin out too much, but unfortunately it caused dry flakes on my skin as I rubbed it in. I may apply it with a sponge applicator next time instead of my fingers. This is probably the major downside that I found with this product. I was not able to apply it as smoothly as I would have liked…if the formula was more like a moisturizer it would probably be easier. However, it did make my skin glow! (almost a little bit too much!…I threw on some powder on top of it). The tint is very very light, so wear concealer if you need to cover up any blemishes. I was a bit worried that the color I got, “light to medium” would be too light for me, but it was actually perfect. I think the medium may have been too dark. I found the sun protection to be very good. I was out all day in the sun, and neglected to put on any other sunscreen on the rest of my body (which was a mistake since I got pretty burnt!). Well, the only place that didn’t get red was my face…so I’m attributing that to this product. Overall, good protection and tint, but I wish the formula was less drying.

None
