Brush on Block
Weather in Vermont has bounced all over. My rosacea is struggling to keep up. We'll be 80 and border on high humidity one day and then 50 the next. Sun has been plentiful, so sunscreen is a must. I'm having a real issue with sunscreen this year. Some of them are causing my skin to itch like crazy. As a result, I started trying powder-based mineral sunscreens. Brush On Block is a winner.How Brush On Block Works
Brush On Block is a self-dispensing brush. You don't have to purchase a make-up brush. It's an all-in-one deal. This makes it incredibly convenient and handy. Click it open, wait till you see the powder dispersing, and brush it all over your face. Don't forget your ears! I will say that compared to the other powder sunscreen I tried, I appreciate that this company says to use a liberal coating. When I got an email back from another company telling me if I have put on enough powder that my face is slightly paler that I've applied way too much, I started to doubt the company's knowledge. You never put on a light coating of sunscreen. The other thing I love is that you can purchase cartridge refills for almost half the cost. You don't have to purchase the self-dispensing brush when you need more. Simply buy a refill, replace the empty one, and you're good to go. You get UVA and UVB protection with Brush On Block. It's water resistant for up to 80 minutes. It's 30 SPF, so while it's not the 50 I prefer, it meets the recommendations of my dermatologist. No matter what SPF you use, you must reapply no longer than every two hours. Also, as I've said in other articles and Facebook posts, don't buy a sunscreen if it isn't broad spectrum. You want protection against both UVA and UVB rays.Brush On Block Ingredients
