What a weird time to be alive. Normally, our family would be on a road trip in Alberta right about now – visiting beaches, maybe Calaway Park in Calgary, or perhaps a day trip to sight see (and get some great Instagram shots) in Banff. But, here I am, sitting on my deck (again), enjoying my beautiful yard (again) and feeling like summer 2020 is a bit like the movie Groundhog Day.
Despite not being all touristy this year, sun protection is as important as ever (maybe even more so, if you don’t want to end up in a doctor’s office with a nasty sunburn) and I’m happy I was sent some Neutrogena Sheer Sunscreen products early on to use this summer.
My favorite this summer has been Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Mist Sunscreen SPF 50:
Formulated with Vitamin E and helps condition skin while drying invisibly with a clean, barely there feel.
Perfect for under or over make-up.
Oxybenzone-free, broad-spectrum sun protection. Price: $14.98-$18.49 CAD
I find that it’s so much quicker – and easier – to apply a face mist sunscreen that putting on a lotion that might feel greasy, and therefore I’m more likely to grab it and apply it because it’s quick and easy. It’s light on my face (so light feeling that I often wonder if I’ve applied enough!) and protects well. I don’t know if I’ll go back to a sunscreen lotion for my face after using a mist – I love it!
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunscreen Body Mist SPF 30, 45 and 60 gives you an oil-free, ultra-light formula with a non-greasy feel, and is water/sweat resistant for 80 minutes! Yes, you sweat while reading on the deck or at the beach should you be lucky enough to get to one, so it’s important to repply after 80 minutes even if you’re not going in the water. Price: $14.29-$18.49 CAD.

We’ve been hanging out in the same spots you have 😉 Backyard!! We did however build a deck last month so that has been amazing to have a new spot to eat, chill and watch fireflies. We’ve done some biking, kayaking and bonfires some nights.
I’ve been spending my summer in the sun around home and getting out for walks 1-2x/day.
I’ve been sitting on my deck longer hours this year, normally I don’t sit outside but it’s been a great change of scenery from the living room TV!
