Ahava Sun Protection Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer

Ahava Sun Protection Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer

The Ahava Sun line is designed to protect and nourish skin against UVA and UVB rays. Dead sea minerals and “quality” sunscreens work in conjunction with vitamins and moisturizers to help skin cells increase their hydration capacity and heal from damage incurred by environmental exposure. The Ahava Sun Protection Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer is water resistant and stimulates cellular regeneration long before your skin experiences any negative effects from sun exposure.

Any rays that actually manage to penetrate the SPF 50 barrier will be neutralized by your newly-fortified skin cells and you will not experience visible or invisible skin damage from your day in the sun.

Apply this facial moisturizer 30 minutes before sun exposure. If you wish to use this moisturizer on a child younger than 6 months, consult their pediatrician first.

My Rating is: 4/5

Drawbacks:

While the Ahava Sun Protection Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer is an incredibly attractive and effective treatment, you should consider several things before you buy it:

  • This treatment is primarily designed for use when you will be exposed to the sun. Some people find it a little greasy for everyday wear.
  • The Ahava company does not define the term “quality” that is used to describe the sunscreens in its moisturizer, so you need to test them in case of a reaction to the ingredients before you use the moisturizer on your face or all over your body.
  • You will not get the best results if you forget to apply the moisturizer half an hour ahead of time.

Benefits:

The Ahava Sun Protection Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer is a very attractive product. Here are just a few of the reasons that this Dead Sea moisturizer is popular with sun-worshippers and outdoors-aficionados everywhere.

  • The moisturizer is waterproof and hypoallergenic.
  • It not only protects skin, but fortifies the epidermal defenses as well.
  • It is a great preventative treatment.
  • It provides immediate counteraction for damage related to sun-exposure.
  • It smells crisp and clean, making it appropriate for wear indoors or out.

Guarantee

  • The Ahava Sun Protection Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer comes with no official guarantee and does not promise any results at all. All that the product materials indicate is the way that it should be used and that it is intended to protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays and provide damage control.  However, you can return most Ahava products via UPS if you include the order number and all the packaging. It is not clear precisely what kind of refund or exchange options you will have once the return of the product is completed.

My Review

A pro-active sunscreen is pretty hard to beat. We all know that there is no way, short of covering ourselves from head to toe with opaque materials, to completely shield ourselves from the sun. Since this is not particularly practical, what could possibly be better than a sunscreen that actually tackles the UVA and UVB rays head on as soon as they hit the skin? Nothing.

However, it should be noted that that this lotion is clearly marketed as a prevention method, and may not be effective alone as a way to restore your skin if you already have significant environmental damage. Also, Ahava is pretty discreet about what is actually in its products, so you will have to rely on user reviews – admittedly, universally good – to decide whether or not the product will work for you rather than investigating the ingredients in detail.

However, this sunscreen is relatively inexpensive and does come from a proven line of scientifically tested beauty products, so I don’t think you will find better protection anywhere.
