Yellow Belli

03.19.2009

The Bite:
Scared of getting burned again? By the sun, natch. Pregnant ladies (and gentleman): Check out Belli Pregnancy's Anti-Chloasma Facial Sunscreen. This mineral 'block protects from UVA and UVB rays, as well as chloasma - dark brown splotchy spots on the face that can show up with sun exposure during pregnancy. And Belli's lightly tinted, oil-free (as well as paraben-, dye- and synthetic-fragrance-free) formula moisturized our skin without the white powdery residue that some zinc oxide and titanium dioxide 'screens leave behind. And yep, you can use it even if you're not preggo. Fears, conquered.
Wanna Try: 
Belli, available online and at Belli Skincare Boutique, 317 NW Gilman Blvd., Ste. 11, Issaquah. Map It (425-313-5878). Anti-Chloasma Facial Sunscreen, $24/2 ounces.

Cocktail Fact

Heliophobia is a fear of the sun.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Seattle Biters opt for a bottle of mineral-based sunscreen rather than a conventional one, we'll keep the weight of 17 giant pandas in questionable chems off our bods.
