TarteGuard 30 Sunscreen Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Review

Good Day,

I always take these month long hiatuses. I'm going to try and make time for this blog from here on out :D!

I've never been one to be into sunscreen or sun protection but I'm slowly embracing it. It's a no brainer now especially during these hot summer days. In high school I used to use Olay Complete All Day Moisturizer SPF 15. Most of the time in gym class my face would melt & I'd have this appearance of "milk" dripping down my face. It was horrible to say the least. I just wanted something to moisturize & melt off of me like wet paint.

In a recent gratis, I received Tarte's TarteGuard 30 Sunscreen Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 30.  Ever since I've received it, I've used it every single day. I'm not quite there with applying it every two hours but I do wear it under my makeup.

I massaged the lotion on my hand so you could see. (Pardon the lighting. It was a bit cloudy today).

I haven't had any problems with the formulation disturbing the color and finish of my foundations. It's smooth and absorbs well. I have to let the product sit on my face for a bit to be absorbed. I use just a pump on my face and neck. I love this product not only for the performance but the ingredients as well.

As most tartelettes would know, Tarte doesn't work with:

• Pthalates
• Parabens
• Mineral Oil
• Triclosan
• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
• Gluten

I already throw a heap of chemicals from my makeup on my face almost everyday so it's nice to have my skincare be free of those chemicals. Skincare products are the first to penetrate your skin before your makeup. Always make sure to apply serum, moisturizer, and/or primer to create that barrier before the cake.

Granted, this product was given to me by Tarte through Sephora's gratis program and I didn't purchase this item. I can say that I will definitely purchase this product in the future. Remember to continue using SPF all year round and not only during the summer. We still receive rays indoors from light bulbs and other electronic devices. Physicians recommend at least SPF 30 sun protection. Skincare is a very serious matter, not just for vanity purposes. By working on keeping your skin hydrated and protected, you can lessen the chances of skin cancer, skin disease, and other diseases as well. Health is wealth!
