Sun Protection: Round Two


Hi All!  It’s Tuesday again, but not any ordinary Tuesday…it’s the first Tuesday of our second year of blogging!  I remember the beginning of this blog well, as it was the main focus of my internship with the FABULOUS team last summer.  I can’t believe it’s been a year since we began writing, and I’m so happy and proud to see how far the blog has come (thanks to Jess and the team)!!!

Well, here we go.  The first product category to be reviewed for a SECOND time—in this second year of blogging—is quite important and timely actually: it's sunscreen!

Since learning the difference between chemical and mineral-based sunscreen sun care products from Sara last summer, I’ve become an advocate of mineral-based protection.  This isn’t because these products are better; it’s more of a personal preference.  After trying many products last summer and over a lucky winter vacation, I’ve settled on a favorite: Lavender scented SPF 30 Badger Balm.  It smells great, feels great, and—while it takes longer to rub in, due to its zinc base—it provides the longest “wear” of any product I've tried. 

If you’re looking for a new mineral based sunscreen, I highly recommend Badger Balm!  While its pretty wet and rainy in Boston now, I like to always have a tube of sunscreen on me during the summer months, and you can bet this’ll be my go-to for summer 2012!

Until next week, this is Tara wishing you all the very best!!
