sunscreen

[Anonymous]

Just got home from Claire’s soccer practice, and who would have thought that you need sunscreen at 7 pm in April, but poor Ben’s little cheeks were bright pink!

I know we’ve posted about this before, but I was never satisfied with any I found last year. Ben has super sensetive skin and it is also very dry. I need one that has a high SPF, waterproof, but that won’t irritate his skin.

Anyone found any that you really like?

I haven’t used it yet, but I bought baby blanket sunscreen. It comes in towelettes so it is supposed to be easier to put on. Are his cheeks red from sun or just from being hot outside? Coopers cheeks get red everytime we go outside even when I put his hat on him and it is part sun but also part just how he reacts when he gets hot (nice rosy cheeks) My SIL has used the baby blanket sunscreen and recommended it to me. We are going to the beach next month and I wanted it for then. Let me know if you find anything else. Cooper has super pale sensitive skin too.

We found out the hard way when Alexis was younger, that she was allergic to many types of sunscreen since her skin was so sensitive, she developed hives because of it. The MD reccommended Blue Lizard sunscreen and it works wondefully, the only place I have found it, is at CVS pharmacy. We have been using it now for almost 4 years now and even on Taylor without any reactions.

we use banana boat no tears kind…

there’s a site (no time to search for the post) where you can actually look up sunscreens & they’re rated on their toxicity level- the banana boat was

moderate, but hey it doesn’t irritate their eyes…

california baby I’ve heard is good- I used it w/ Jonah but just one tube bcse it was so expensive!!!

the nutrigena stuff is supposed to be really great- I use it for myself but not the kids bcse of the tear factor…
