Guide Review - Mission: Ultra-Sweatproof Sunscreen

Athletes, rejoice! There is finally a sunscreen that won't sweat away or sting your eyes as you're preforming. It lasts a full two hours, unless you're sweating heavily or in the water, where it's recommended to apply every 80 minutes. It soaks in quick and leaves your skin with a matte, yet hydrated feeling.

Many top athletes love Mission so much that they are willing to put their name and face on Mission's site promoting it. Some of the athletes include: Mia Hamm, Serena Williams and Steve Nash.

This sunscreen is perfect for runners, volleyball players and everyone else who preforms in the sun.

But don't think you have to be an athlete to love Mission's sunscreen. It's perfect for just about anyone who loves to hang out in the sun. I immediately think of boaters and water skiers who might not be sweating, but who are obviously in the water. But even if you're not an athlete at all, you'll love Mission sunscreen.

Mission's Ultra-Sweatproof Sunscreen is an oil-free suncreen infused with Vitamin A and other Antioxidants. It's also paraben-free and fragrance-free. But just because it's fragrance-free doesn't mean it doesn't smell like sunscreen. It's got a very obvious sunscreen-smell that your skin hangs on to for some time. But the fact that it goes on quick and drys to a matte finish counteracts my distaste for the smell. It's also great to have a sunscreen that doesn't leave your skin feeling slimy or greasy.

This product is just one of their athlete-inpired line of products, which also include SPF lip balms and other sunscreens.
