Sunscreen Wipes
My least favorite thing to do when it comes to taking care of Lola is probably to apply sunscreen to her on a daily basis. There is nothing like slathering thick white lotion on a screaming squirming baby to wear both of you out! Plus, the sunscreen inevitably gets in her hair and makes it look greasy. That's why I'm always experimenting with different types of sunscreen applications. My current favorite is the sunscreen wipe. I think these should be in the baby aisle whit the diaper wipes, because they are that important. Here's what I've found that works, and why. (I'll add to this list as I try more options!)
1. Dermalogica Solar Defense SPF15 Wipes: These are the first ones I've tried, and I still like them. They come in a yellow packet with 30 wipes for about $25 (not cheap!) but they have UVA/UVB protection (critical) and enough product per wipe to cover Lola's whole face and body. Besides the price, the only downfall is that these are only SPF15, but I only use sunscreen wipes for every day use, not beach use, anyway.
2. Desert Essence SPF30 Sunscreen Wipes: These cost about $10 for 25. Love that they are SPF30, and the convenient plastic container that lets you neatly grab one wipe at a time, once you get it going. But I hate these wipes! They are very small and thin and measly, and they hardly contain any sunscreen! To cover my baby's little body, I had to use 3 of them. What a waste!
3. SPWipes Sun Protection Wipes SPF30: I originally got these for my blonde, blue-eyed husband, who hates the greasy feeling of many sunscreens and was neglecting to use it every day. He liked them, except that he found that one wipe was only enough to cover his face, neck and arms. For a baby, however, I've found them to be perfect. They are generously sized and big enough to cover my baby's whole body, as well as my own arms and hands. And now they come in a baby version, which I haven't tried yet. I have to investigate to see what the difference is, but either way, they are both the same price, about $8 for 10. They are less expensive if you buy them in bulk, however. I also love that these are SPF30! These are individually packaged in foil packets, which is a plus or minus depending on how you look at it. And they have a new huge 8x10 size that might even make my husband happy! The only downside is the cedar smell, which fortunately dissipates very quickly, and is mild to begin with!
