Sunscreen just keeps getting better

Has anyone else tried Coppertone’s Clear SPF30 Continuous Spray No-Rub Sunscreen? It is sooo quick and easy to apply! It took less than 30 seconds to cover my daughter front to back and neck to toe! And since she sometimes strips down to her underwear at nursery school, I’m going to spray her down with it every morning before she gets dressed (which I imagine you guys are already doing to your kids). It seems that Coppertone makes an SPF50 but that one wasn’t available at the CVS I went to today. I also bought the WaterBabies SPF50 QuickCover Spray Lotion, which I thought would be good because you can see where it’s been applied. But it needs to be rubbed in, and I already have Banana Boat Kids Tear-Free Sunblock SPF50 Continuous Lotion Spray which is basically the same thing (but smells so much yummier!). So I think I might return it for the Coppertone KIDS Continuous Spray SPF50 (also clear and no-rub) and keep the regular SPF30 for myself.

Also, I’ve struggled with applying sunscreen to my duaghter’s face. We have the WaterBabies Stick SPF30 which is good for the major areas (nose, forehead, cheeks, etc.) but it’s awkward to apply it in creases and near eyes. And she turns her head and backs away while I use my hands to spread it around. So today I picked up a dozen round latex-free cosmetic sponges for $3 and used one to apply sunscreen to her face, ears, and neck instead. It’s pretty quick and for some reason She didn’t mind it as much. I plan to use a clean one each day and wash them with the laundry (being careful not to put them in the dryer). Perhaps this will work for someone else.

Just one more bit of sunscreen info, and then I’ll stop: My esthetician recommends Dermalogica solar defense booster spf30 (you can wear it alone or add 2 drops to your morning moisturizer) and total eye care spf15 for daytime wear. I haven’t bought the eye cream yet, but so far so good with the booster.

Ciao!
