Skin Care Review: Shiseido Sun Protection Stick Foundation

Rating
Excellent

Benefits
Portable, non-greasy, invisible, quick, foolproof application

Drawbacks
Might be comparatively costly. Probably tends to lighten skin tone.

Details
I have been very happy with Shiseido's Vital-Perfection skin care products line all through my twenties and thirties. This is my favorite sunscreen for three reasons. First, it comes in a small turquise capsule that is easy to pack along. Second, because it comes as a stick, I can apply it on the go quickly, easily and without getting my fingers greasy. I roll it over my forehead, nose, cheekbones and shin. It goes on white so I can see where it is. Then I blend it in with the back of my hands (they need protection too) and it becomes invisible. Third, the formulation feels very refined, silky smooth, and has never irritated my skin. I much prefer it to many supposedly gentle children's sunscreens which can feel sticky or gooey, smell strongly, and irritate my skin. My husband loves this stick for sports because it does not run into his eyes with heavy perspiration. My toddler likes it too because he enjoys applying it himself. Mom and Dad can easily see where he has missed.

Conclusions
Love this sunscreen. Have not found anything else quite like it.
