"I remember in my teens, when I needed a sunscreen or tanning oil, it meant a quick run into a drug store to pick up the cheapest brand with the nicest scent.  After all, it wasn't about the sunscreen, it was all about 'the tan'.  Well, times have changed, now it's about safety... and longevity, of my health and beauty that is.   Besides just a pleasant scent, the product has to be effective.  But even more so, it's got to be safe and biodegradable.   Finally, I have found the product that addresses all of these issues... MelanSol Dark Tanning Lotion from Oceana Naturals!

     I was fortunate to learn about this product in depth from the US distributor, Michael Russ, and the inventor, Peter Zahner, when they kindly held a web seminar in our All Natural Beauty Forum last year.  MelanSol Sun Products are truly unique in that they are loaded with anti-oxidants, found in the Green Tea and other botanicals, which help to fight the free radicals that occur when you sun bathe (or just work in the garden or go about your daily activities).  They also include an extract from the fruit of the Date Palm.  This extract is called Bio-Melanin, and has a 1000 times greater capacity than vitamin E for capturing and terminating free radicals.  On top of these ingredients, you're protected even further with the addition of uncoated mineral pigments.  So you are protected the minute you apply your lotion.  It gets even better, you'll find the perfect blend of botanicals that feed the skin even more nutrients.  They work in harmony to make your face and body baby soft.  Now that's what I call an effective sun lotion!

     I was just recently privileged to use this product, when it was included in the Montel Williams audience gift bags.  It made me wonder why I waited so long!  Especially since this product can be used year round as an under makeup moisturizer.  Most any doctor will tell you that we all need to protect our skin from the sun to keep it younger and softer, longer.  We all know this!  Well I'm here to tell you, this is the one to get, and it can't be soon enough.  Whether you use it when you're laying out in the sun, or as a daily moisturizer, this is the most natural sun lotion I've ever used (I'm sure I don't need to tell you how excited I am about that!).  It's also the most pleasant.  It smells beautiful, and my skin really feels nice when I use it.  One thing that happens is that it gives a gentle exfoliation of the dead skin on application.  So if you use it as a face moisturizer under makeup you'll want to apply it to a freshly cleaned face.  The exfoliation is nothing to worry about, it's a very light peeling that actually helps to make the skin feel even better.  I highly recommend this product for you and the entire family.  If you need even more protection, you'll want to check out the SPF 8 and 20 sunscreens. They're easy to find, just visit PureSunscreen.com.  Enjoy!
