Sunscreen City

Where’s the beach?

I've been chanting this phrase for weeks now in anticipation for the Memorial Day Weekend and it looks like it is going to be amazing weather!

Unfortunately, with my super fair skin, sunscreen is a must unless I want to look like a cooked lobster.  Not a good look for me.

So as we head off to the pools, lakes and oceans this weekend and summer, remember to bring along your sunscreen!

But be careful which sunscreen you choose to bring along.  Sunscreens contain many toxic chemicals that are not only bad for the ocean and the environment, but for you as well!

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has a great website which sheds the truth on sunscreens and also has some recommendations for better choices for you and your family.

My personal favorite is Smart Girls Who Surf products.  They're an eco-conscious company based out of Laguna Beach.  Their products are non-toxic and safe for marine life.  I used their sunscreen for the first time in the Bahamas a couple months ago and it worked well.

They also have a men's line called Surf-Vival!

So slather on that lotion and go catch some waves this weekend! 

And most importantly...have fun!
