'Goodbye nasty, oily hands!': Neutrogena's sunscreen stick is just $8 at Amazon
The arrival of summer gives us so many things to look forward to: Cookouts! Vacations! Beaches! Sunscreen! Okay, the last one, well...maybe not so much. While we should all be applying sunscreen throughout the year, in summer it's especially important, as many of us are spending more time outside while the sun is at its peak. That said, few things are as annoying as slathering on greasy lotions every few hours and going about the day with sticky hands. Enter: Neutrogena's Beach Defense Sunscreen Stick, which glides onto your skin a la deodorant without having to wash your hands afterwards. Oh, and right now it's on sale at Amazon for just $8 — the lowest price on the internet! Hurry up and snag this little lifesaver just in time for summer — and enjoy easy application all season long.
We all know sunscreen is vital in protecting our skin from harmful UV rays, which can lead to painful sunburns and even skin cancer. Luckily, this handy stick has broad spectrum SPF 50+ to offer a strong shield against the sun so you can enjoy your favorite summer activities with peace of mind. Its mess-free application couldn't be more convenient — you literally just swipe it on, and its lightweight formula gets absorbed into the skin far faster than the goopy lotions so many of us dread using.
"Goodbye nasty, oily hands!" exclaimed one five-star reviewer. "Do you hate getting your hands all slimy when you apply sunscreen to your face or one of the little humans that live with you? I do. And with the fair skin in my family, going to soccer games, the beach or outside for 15 minutes means it's sunscreen time. This little stick makes face applications a breeze, especially if your kids are sporty. I find that after just one soccer game or 30 minutes at the beach, all the forehead and eye areas have lost their protection. This stick makes re-application easy without having to re-oil-up my hands."
Another benefit to wearing sunscreen is the prevention of aesthetic sun damage, like spots, wrinkles, dryness or a leathery appearance. Neutrogena's Beach Defense Sunscreen Stick provides both UVA and UVB protection — UVA in reference to aging and UVB to burning. Plus, its oxybenzone- and PABA-free formula will appeal to anyone concerned about using a sunscreen containing these chemicals.
More than 4,200 Amazon shoppers have given the Neutrogena Beach Defense Sunscreen Stick a perfect five-star rating — and it's easy to see why:
No greasiness to see here
No one likes feeling like an oily, freshly basted turkey — especially when it's over 80 degrees and humid outside. Fortunately, many reviewers say this product is ideal for avoiding just that. "We love this!" one enthusiastic fan said. "Quick and easy application for the kids! It goes on smooth without leaving white marks or streaks, doesn’t feel greasy and has never made my face break out! It’s light and doesn’t feel like you’ve even got any sunblock on!"
Let's get physical
If you like staying active outdoors, a sweat-proof formula is essential if you don't want stinging eyes due to sunscreen dripping into them while you're moving about. This stick is water-resistant for up to 80 hours, and reviewers can vouch for its effectiveness. "Nice non-greasy formula," said one happy camper. "Great for the summer and if you are an athlete or have an active lifestyle. I use it when working out on the beach. It doesn't drip and get in your eyes like other liquid formulas. The high SPF is also another plus."
Travels well
With vacation season upon us, you're gonna want this deodorant-size stick stashed in your bag at all times. If you'd rather not be at the mercy of airport security rifling through the contents of your luggage, take comfort in the fact that, unlike large bottles of lotion, it's conveniently TSA-friendly."Good coverage in a non-messy, wipe-on container," one satisfied customer said. "I like the fact that I can get good sun protection without messy creams and lotions. Also, this is perfect for travel when you are using a carry-on only."
