Well, I'm honored to have garnered a part in a whole paragraph on your blog. ;) As far as sunscreens go, I've always used one for both face and body and always go with an oil-free version. I really do like the Aveeno 30spf I've been using this year, but the bottle size might not be conducive to a week in Mexico.

My mom and dad once thought it would be a fabulous idea for our family to tour a restored Shaker village. In July. In Kentucky. Have I mentioned that Shakers had not yet been introduced to the wonderful invention that is air conditioning? That deserves at least a couple fruity drinks, I think.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11953709531604551413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-63615181029057223362013-07-29T14:43:35.966-04:002013-07-29T14:43:35.966-04:00i'm glad that i was in the majority with the a...i'm glad that i was in the majority with the all inclusive! i've never used a different sunscreen for my face but i'm not really picky about face lotion or oil so maybe that's why. sorry for the lack of help! jealous of your $5 swimsuit finds. maybe i'll have to go sign up for those emails! :] Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840198051982699216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-9718670782532822962013-07-29T14:26:12.025-04:002013-07-29T14:26:12.025-04:00I am a sunscreen/hat freak*

I always use separate face and body sunscreens.<br /><br />2) If you want a chemical free sunblock that is easy to rub in and does not leave you with a white tinge I would recommend <br />BabyGanics Cover Up Baby Sunscreen For Face And Body 50 SPF - I have tried a TON of mineral sunscreens and this has been by go to with my daughter all summer! Sadly, must of the mineral sunscreens are WAY more expensive. <br /><br />PS - I also just purchased the Babyganics Face stick at Target today.Nikki Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16296590282513086359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-5499136221563341552013-07-29T13:02:43.769-04:002013-07-29T13:02:43.769-04:00I'll see you in the Caribbean!

Arg!!! I believe the article should have mentioned which ones contain the ingredient mentioned. Also, if they realize the link I believe they should take it out of their products. You know it makes sense because in the long run--future consumers. I don't use seperate face sunscreen. We used Banana Boat Protect and Hydrate Sunscreen and liked it because it didn't feel greasy. It also has the benefit of having aloe, but I checked the ingredients just now and it has Oxybenzone 3%, and Charles' Coopertone Water Babies has 4% in it! I just googled sunscreen without Oxybenzone and it gave a list of products looks like Ocean Potion is one to check out--which I believe you already like:) Have lots of fun on your trip. Looking forward to seeing lots of fun pictures.All Boxed Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14366365975849057879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-791663787702825682013-07-29T11:24:33.962-04:002013-07-29T11:24:33.962-04:00I am so jealous of your upcoming vacation.
