Sun Bum Sunscreen Spray Good Stuff!!!

~ Joseph Kellner ~ Leave a comment

In the hot Florida sunshine we need proper sunscreen. Especially when I am out and about doing hair and makeup photo-shoots. I have warm skin tones and when I get into the sun I turn a golden color. If I do not have proper sunscreen I will turn beet red. That is why I am recommending Sun Bum Sun screen.

I ask my clients who are having swimwear photo-shoots to apply a little of the spray all over and work it into the skin. If you have makeup on do not do this. Makeup lines now have a lot of SPF in them so burning the skin on the face will not be a factor. This easy to use, ultra sheer/dry touch continuous spray formula will protect your skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays while enriching your skin with Vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps to neutralize free radicals, which are the main cause of premature skin aging. Since I use a spray doing my photo-shoots I will go through a lot so keep a few cans in your travel kit. The product is not expensive and a bottle will last me about 3-4 photo-shoots at the beach.

A lot of my model like to use the product since they have a lot of tattoo’s, and will protect them. This sunscreen sprays on light but gives great protection. And does not feel greasy and dry’s quickly. And the smell is tremendous. I find all of my Sun Bum Products at Target or online.

Always Read The Label On Dry Shampoo’s

Normally during a new photo-shoot I try to bring along new styling aids to work with from the commercial sector (IE) drugstores, ulta, grocery stores etc. I like to try them out and write new blogs about the hair care products. So I rely on dry shampoo’s for taming the hair or for styling touch ups during the shoot. To much moisture in the hairspray and dry shampoo will weigh down fine hair and make curly hair blown either straight or curly will make it frizzy. Especially working in Florida during the summer months. So your beautiful blown dry hair will frizzy up in a matter of sections.

I brought along a new dry shampoo to use during this shoot and was unhappy with its performance and lack of volume. Though it says on the can of CLEAN FREAK it has “fresh volume” it does not. It is filled with a lot of moisture. and has no lifting quality’s to it.

There are many hair care products in the commercial sector for sale that do just as a better job and performance than a professional product. So I decided to use CLEAN FREAK.

The company NOT YOUR MOTHER’S says the following about the product.

  • Absorbs excess oils (Not really)
  • Cleans without water (Has a lot of moisture in the product)
  • Light matte finish (I seen no form of dusting to the hair or matte finish)
  • Spray generously on roots and throughout hair. Brush through to diffuse powder and watch it absorb any excess oils. Style as desired and enjoy your newly freshened hair.
  • Leaves the hair wet, I would not professional recommend this product to a consumer.
