These Suds Might Save Your Skin: Sunscreen Soap

A skincare company has started selling sunscreen soap. Is this something you should include in your shower routine? Find out more, including where to order.

The upstart Bethesda Skincare company has created a product that many of us could benefit from: Sunscreen Soap. It pretty self-explanatory; this unique bar of soap gives you a coating of SPF 10 sunscreen when you lather up. 

While that may not be enough for a long day of sun exposure, it should help protect you from short spurts of sun exposure during your day-to-day activities. Even if you are only going to be outside for 15 minutes, it is a good idea to protect your skin. Getting out a bottle of messy, oily sunscreen and smearing it on isn't a pleasant experience, but going without sunscreen at all can add up. Skin cancer poses a growing threat, especially for those of us with fair skin. Perhaps this soap will be a good way to ensure that you are going outside with at least some protection from those rays.

While I haven't ordered this soap yet, I am going to give it a try. I'll let you know how it works for me. If you decide to get a bar for yourself, or already have, leave a comment and let us know what you think of it!

I recently ordered Bethesda Sunscreen Soap, and I am very satisfied with my purchase. I realize the growing risks of skin cancer, and absolutely love that there is a product out there that helps me avoid an extra step (putting on Sunscreen) that I wouldn\'t normally do on a day to day basis. Not only is it great for a light sun protection, but it is packed with so many vitamins and minerals that it is a win-win situation! Not to mention it smells great! Thanks for the great product! I look forward to seeing what else Bethesda comes out with.

I'm on the beach several times a week between volleyball and just plain working out. That's me in the sun three or four times a week. I started using the soap as some extra sun protection, but I've got to tell you, something's going on with my skin - in a really great way. Whatever you're putting in this soap, keep it going. It works!!!!!

I'm very concerned about my fair skin and its exposure to the sun and have always religiously applied sunscreen almost daily. So naturally when I heard about bethesda soap I was curious to check it out. I must say, it's a fine product and does just what it advertises: leaves me with all-day SPF protection. Now I don't have to worry about slathering on sunscreen everyday. This is a good product. Check it out. . .

I ordered two bars, and they should arrive either tomorrow or the day after... I'll let you all know how it goes! It sounds like you guys have already had good experiences with the product.

I got my soap, and it is pretty cool. I've been out a few days with nothing but the soap on my arms, legs, and neck, and haven't burned at all. The soap also seems to be good for my skin, it feels soft and nourished.
