03 Apr Favorite Sun Products

After I got so much feedback on sunscreen from my recent stories of the Sun Bum FAIL, I thought I would share my go to, never-fail-me, worth every cent sun products. Who knows why I strayed, but I certainly won’t again. These all are items I purchase again and again with no burns in site. 

1. I keep this hand cream in my car since I live in it to protect and moisturize my hands. Has great anti-aging properties too. / 2. This body lotion is not super waterproof, but great for a little shimmer poolside or to swipe on for an outdoor party. / 3. This glow screen for face has a great slight shimmer to add to you favorite moisturizer. / 4. This spray never fails me with the kids and lasts a long time in water / 5. This face stick for kids sells out and is hard to find! I love it because you can swipe on even while they are IN the pool. / 6. This jug of sunscreen is worth the investment. Stick in your mudroom for easy slathering before you leave the house. / 7. I have been buying this swipe on mineral sunscreen for years and have never burned. It is the MOST water/sweatproof formula period and worth every penny. / 8. I wear this tinted sunscreen every single day over my face oil. Just enough coverage and has lots of good ingredients for your skin. / 9. I was impressed with this gradual tan lotion to a little glow on vacation. Will be purchasing more for sure.
