Skin care review: brush on block

Hi everyone,
I hope your all doing well today I will be reviewing the brush on block instant sunscreen. I'm always using sunscreen and I am always looking for convenient ways to apply sunscreen. I knew Peter Thomas Roth carries a brush on sun block and I wanted to try it but is just not willing to pay a hefty price tag for it. Then hautelook had a sale on a similar item called Brushonblock by Susan Posnick and I had to try it.

Product claims:

The convenient application makes it easy to naturally protect your skin from the suns harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Product experience:
The product comes in a tube with a brush you get 3.4 g or .12 oz. of product.
To use just turn the bottom barrel to the right and push the sleeve down and flush your wrist. Then just apply liberally to your face neck décolleté and hands.
I like layering this on top of my moisturizer and throughout the day.

  • Inexpensive the product you don't need a lot even with multiple applications through out the day this product will last you months.

Cons:
  • Availability, I purchased mine online at hautelook.com.
  • The high SPF will cause flash back if used to set make up.
  • Some people can be allergic to the active ingredients.
  • Water resistant not waterproof.
  • Can accentuate dry patches so make sure to moisturize really well and let your moisturizer dry before applying the product.

I love this product I like that it's very convenient, I just flick my wrist and apply my sunscreen. I've always been a big moisturizer and sunscreen kind of girl and with this product it just made applying sunscreen much easier. The only issue I have is that this product and brand is not widely available yet. I bought mine online at hautelook.com
