In our ideal world, multifunctional products would dominate our daily beauty routine. We don’t know anyone who wouldn’t want to save time and money as they get ready each morning. You know the saying “kill two birds with one stone?” Well, what if we told you that there’s a tinted face sunscreen that can actually kill three? 

The sunscreen we’re talking about is EltaMD’s UV Daily Moisturizer, a hero product that acts as a sunscreen, moisturizer, and light tint all at once. It’s a favorite of none other than Hailey Bieber, who has some serious words of praise for the 3-in-1 essential. 

“A lot of sunscreens make my skin break out, and this one has been my Holy Grail,” she says in a YouTube video she did for Elle earlier this year

Now, these kind words are no shock. EltaMD is known for its effective sunscreens that fuse skincare and sun protection, but this formula takes it up a notch with the natural-looking tint. You can push your foundation with this 3-in-1 time and money saver. What’s even better is this product’s ability to combat visible signs of aging.

You know a product is worth it when it’s reached Holy Grail status for Hailey Bieber. Keep reading to hear more about how this sunscreen wears many hats and addresses a bunch of skin concerns all at once. Plus, it costs $32.50, which for sun protection, skincare, and light coverage, is quite the bargain.

Let’s start with the obvious: sun protection. At its core, this product is a face sunscreen with an SPF of 40. Dermatologists tend to recommend you wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every single day. It provides UVA and UVB (a.k.a. broad spectrum) protection, which means it shields your skin from both types of UV light. UVA has everything to do with skin aging, while UVB deals with skin burning.

This tinted face sunscreen clearly checks off the box for sun protection, but what about its skincare benefits? The formula engages hyaluronic acid to moisturize your skin and help minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Its sidekick ingredient, vitamin E, also plays a part in the sunscreen’s anti-aging powers by blocking your skin from free radicals. 

Last but not least, there’s a subtle, natural-looking tint to this sunscreen. You can wear it on its own or add more coverage with your fav foundation.

With a near-perfect rating on Amazon, thousands of reviewers share Bieber’s love for this multipurpose product. “My dermatologist recommended it and I love it,” wrote one shopper. “I use the tinted formula in the non-sun months to give my face a bit more color. I don’t buy any other kind for my face now.” 

Another shopper calls it the best sunscreen she’s ever applied, saying, “Most sunscreens I’ve used are thick and break me out. This sunscreen is lightweight and makes my skin feel soft.” She wears this tinted sunscreen with her usual concealer to create a natural everyday makeup look.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 2 Episode 9 Fashion

Meredith Marks totally understood the dress code assignment that everyone (…but Whitney ) was given for Mary’s Italian cooking event on last night’s episode of RHOSLC. Actually we’re not 100% sure because we too have no idea what “Italian Street Style” means, however she did look amazing walking down the street in this black leather cropped cutout blazer that’s simply bellissimo.

Fashionably,

My knee hurts. I don’t know what awkward dance move I made to stress the darn thing, but the bottom line is – it hurts.

As I tape it up before going to sleep, I grumble about it, which, of course, does no good whatsoever. I wake up in a foul mood, trudge down the stairs with a slight limp, still grousing.

But when I sit with my morning cup of tea, seeing the brightness of a new day, hearing the birds sing, I shake myself. What am I doing? I know better than to be complaining, moaning, and groaning.

I know, from umpteen studies and scientific research, that what we think has almost immediate impact on how we feel and how our bodies function. And the worst possible thing I can do, relative to my knee, is feed my body pessimistic thoughts.

How You View Your Injury Impacts How Fast You Heal

A recent study done specifically on 60-and-older individuals found that how people think about their aches and pains shows up in how quickly and well they heal – or don’t.

Those who think pessimistically tend to experience decreased mobility and greater likelihood of more disabilities. Those who think optimistically experience better mobility and a decreased likelihood of further disabilities. What you think matters.

Ann McGowan is a stellar example of one who thinks optimistically about her aches and pains. A National Senior Games champion, who at 93 won a silver medal for the long jump and a bronze medal for shot put and discus, Ann persevered despite her back surgery and a recent mastectomy.

She sees no reason to stop doing what she has enjoyed for over 40 years. Had Ann thought that back surgery or a mastectomy were permanent obstacles or that they spelled the end of the sports road for her, she would never have gone on to win these – and many other – medals.

But most importantly, she would have needlessly deprived herself of her passion.

How can we think optimistically about our aches and pains? Here are two easy ways:

#1 Temporary or Permanent Injury?

Let’s take my knee as an example. Is it a temporary or permanent injury? I can look at it either way.

I can say to myself, “Well, it’s not the first time I’ve done something unfortunate in class, or stumbled, or tripped, or in some other way hurt my knee. I’ve always recovered. It may take more or less time, but when I do the things I know to do – physical therapy, tape my knees, use ointments, take it easy, stretch more – my knee heals.”

Or, I can say to myself, “Well, so much for dancing. That’s over. I can’t dance with a bum knee, that’s for sure. It’s my own darn fault, trying to do things older people shouldn’t even consider.”

With that, I don’t do any of the healing things I would have if I had looked at my knee as a temporary hurt. I accept the permanence of the hurt, and with that, my body gets this message: “Don’t bother trying to heal. We’re done.”

Thinking optimistically about aches and pains is to think of them as temporary, not permanent. Just like a child who falls down and skins her knee doesn’t think of the injury as permanent. She simply gets up and keeps on going. Kids know – we know – the body heals.

#2 Bump in the Road, or the Whole Road?

I can look at my knee and think, “Well now, that was interesting. Fortunately, I have another knee, plus the rest of my body that’s doing pretty OK. Maybe I can work with my dance instructor, so we don’t stress my knee while it’s healing, put some emphasis on the other things I need to learn.”

And with that thought, I’ve categorized my knee injury as simply a bump in my dance road, not the definitive end to that particular journey.

Or, I can think, “Oh, no! I’m over 60, it’s all downhill from here. My knee is the first to go, next it’ll be a hip – or two,” and that’s it. I don’t expend any thought, effort, or energy in actually helping my knee heal, I abandon it – literally.

My body, obedient servant to my mind, responds with, “As you wish,” and sure enough, I would lose more mobility and be prone to further disabilities as the above study showed.

Don’t let your aches and pains turn into permanent misery or put a stop to whatever it is that you love doing. Think of them as temporary, a mere bump in the road, and you’ll be back on your happy way soon enough.

What kind of injuries have you experienced that took a long time to heal? What motivation techniques worked for you to get back on your feet after an injury? Have you had to readjust your life after an injury? How did that affect you? Let’s discuss the things we do to adjust when healing from an injury.

They say that there are three chronic types of fear: the fear of failure, fear of success, and fear of change. Which one do you relate to?

Studies suggest that the greatest fear out of these three is the fear of change. I have to agree based on my limited experience. But I believe that this fear also has the greatest potential for helping us grow.

From Confident Youth to Scared Middle Age

When my wife and I decided to change from full-time legal professionals to focus on our creative lives, I discovered how much I had changed as a person.

In my 20s I was full of confidence; basically fearless. I knew I would find work. I knew that I would have enough of what I needed. I knew the next day was filled with opportunity. Heck, life was a breeze. Even though I lived financially month to month.

Time Is a Thief

Over the years I grew more secure. Money and the trappings of success gave me the material security I though was the goal. But the price I paid was losing my confidence and self- assurance.

What is accumulated in material terms is easily lost. Plus, there’s the sense of responsibility that comes with a family. Suddenly, fear of losing these things, along with the image of provider, were at stake. I had to play it safe to preserve the lifestyle.

The Ego Has Landed

Sadly, with success comes the inflated ego. I am a typical introvert A-type personality – independent and driven – but with a sensitive ego that demands that I not make a poor decision and look foolish.

This means risks are bad. No hedge fund nonsense here. Blue chip investing only. Much of this is to preserve the ego and is rationalised as sensible caution. The other side of the argument suggests that he who hesitates is lost. Or at the very least is bored to tears.

The Side Hustle

Despite my innate caution, I kept growing my art portfolio. I painted daily with the focus that comes with this type of personality. Even with a full day in the office, I would paint at night, during lunch break and on weekends. It seemed that my energy did not stop when it came to painting.

I knew that to give up a regular and steady career required that I have a reasonably strong chance of making money as an artist. This stage is fashionably referred to as a side hustle. More like a race against time. And this time the stakes seemed very high.

The Leap of Faith

As one career dwindled away my art business grew. Let me be clear and say that the financial rewards of art are unlikely to come near my old career earnings. But I look forward to each day.

The creative opportunities never seem to dry up. Invites to host workshops, ideas for courses, books and many other exciting things keep popping up. What is the value of these things? Priceless, but not in the financial sense. Can I go back to what I was before? Not likely.

Yet the fear of change keeps coming back.

Learn to Manage Fear

I have come to accept that as I get older, I am unlikely to return to that fearless state that I once had in my 20s.

Many of you have your own fears of change. Retirement, health, family and financial changes typically bring much fear and anxiety. Moving home is another doozy for inducing fear. On it goes. Do you know the answer? Learn to manage fear by taking positive action.

The only solution for me is to remain busy doing the things that keep the doubts out of my mind. I take positive steps like getting to work each day. Painting. Writing. Marketing.

Whatever I need to do to make this change in my life one of growth. To me stopping equates dying, and that change is one that I prefer to leave to my Creator. While I still have a breath in me, I will keep on kicking.

The Path of Least Resistance

I know that I could have remained at a desk doing paperwork. I would have been secure due to a routine far removed from change. But you know that life is going to spring a few surprises anyway.

We fool ourselves thinking that change can be kept at bay. So why accept the path of least resistance and risk regret? No. Despite the fear, I need to work on my art and keep a firm grip on the mind games that conjure up fears.

Know Yourself but Take Action

I have sometimes encouraged people to take a leap of faith. Not anymore. Instead, I simply tell my story if they are interested, and let them decide on what is best for them. Fair enough?

Let fear be your guide and not your master. Sometimes, what we fear is what we need to do, because humans are designed to seek out challenges. It is the secret sauce that makes life taste good. This may be the perfect time for you to begin your creative journey.

Keep in mind the truth that time is the one thing we cannot replace. I bet that you were taught not to waste limited resources. Few things make me feel as guilty as wasting time.

As the year nears its end, may I suggest that we all embrace change as the one true constant in life? Confront fear, and move on doing something that makes you feel excited to be alive and kicking. Sounds like a resolution worth making.
