Murad Age Proof Self Tanner SPF 15 For Face And Body
Just to warn you, Murad appears to have changed the entire "Daily Defense" line to "Age Proof."
I ignored Murad's original sunless tanner with sun screen after reviewing the ingredients and finding no quality UVA sun screen ingredients.
That changed in 2000, when Murad introduced Daily Defense Self Tanner SPF 15. The sun screen ingredients include avobenzone [Parsol 1789], and the product is formulated so that you can apply it generously, just as a sun screen should be applied.
Easy to apply, this is a delightful smelling product with a light tint that is also oil free. In spite of the oil free formula, you may develop a shine on your face after a couple of hours.
The color that develops is light/medium, and you can apply the product in the morning to your face two or three days in a row without fear of buildup.
This is a less expensive [and less fragrant] alternative to the Lancome Soleil Expert Sun Care SPF 30 Self-Tan Face Lotion.
The only negative is that the essential oils of grapefruit, orange, rosewood, and lavender in the product could cause trouble to sensitive skin. They also make the product smell like Froot Loops, a definite plus in my opinion. May 3, 2001

Recent member contributed mini-reviews:This product is best for hands, face, and feet. It is lighter than some products, and I like the smell. Easy to blend, but a little pricey. The bonus is that it has a sunscreen!
Smells great and has an attractive tint. The SPF in it is full spectrum. You have to apply it heavily, like sunscreen. The color is light.
