Beauty Pick: Sunscreen Bodywash
I am always reminding friends, relatives and even strangers to wear sunscreen—and then I hound them to reapply it! It still shocks me that women go out to hit balls and think that a hat is enough protection. Craziness! It only takes fifteen minutes to cause serious damage and add ten years to your appearance. Who wants wrinkles and skin cancer? Not me. I wear sunscreen every day and my moisturizer, foundation and powder all contain an SPF. Now you can get additional protection in really cool and innovative wash-on formulas. Earlier this year Freeze 24/7 introduced IceShield Facial Cleanser with SPF 15, which protects against incidental sun exposure with broad spectrum protection—it also infuses skin with antioxidants—or as I like to call them, the age fighters. Now there is a similar product that protects your body—BY142 Body Wash (picture below) with SPF 15 binds sunscreen to skin and lasts for six to eight hours. Add a dollop to your loofah, or washcloth, in the shower and benefit from the added sun protection throughout the day. (IceShield: $48 for 4.2 oz, freeze247.com; BY142 Body Wash: $32 for 8.0 oz, BY142.com)
Thanks Samantha for this information. SO HELPFUL...I am a fairly average golfer but LOVE my sun and blonde hair. Reading this makes me reconsider my habits while also thinking about aging and my overall health. Do you know where I can get this? How much is it?
Can't wait for your next blog...it's great to have someone giving information and tips about beauty. Sometimes too much golf info gets boring!

I am EXTREMELY fair skinned and get so nervous in the summer when I'm playing 18 holes. This soap is a great purchase. Thanks for the suggestion!!!
I notice a lot of my friends on the green do not properly cover their skin. It is such a shame and so dangerous!! I appreciate you showcasing a product that brings this to every golfer's attention. It should be an everyday habit!
Love this..
Thanks.
Wow - if we had this kind of information AND the products 30 years ago we'd all look better...younger?? Keep it up...we 'older golfers' need the help.
Great information to have- I'm always "forgetting" the importance of SPF, and this article really helps me realize that aging 10 years would be a nightmare. It's great that there's someone helping regular golf readers with our skin!
Great info to have, I always deny the importance of SPF. With skin cancer in the family and idea of aging 10 years- this article is a real wake up call.
It's great that regular readers like myself can get some important beauty tips that will help out in the long run. Thanks!
