i got a spray from banana boat and the cap keeps on getting clogged. Any solution anyone?

I'm loving the walgreens store brand sunscreen right now... it's 50 spf... 10 oz for 7.99, and it comes out thick, but spreadable (so not messy), and the cap is very very sturdy.

but what about lip balms to protect the lips from the sun? Review those next, please!

we use the squeeze bottle kind because there generally cheeper. you also want to check the expiery date. we bought some last year from a shoppers drugmart that was expired after some closer inspection when we got it home.

great tip for the squeezie type with the flip cap either keep it in a plastic zip top bag or we put a little peice of plastic wrap under the twist off cap so it wont goop all over the place

It is easy to save your bag from anything that could leak by putting it in a plastic baggy with a zip top first.

Also you could twist tie the top of the plastic baggy if you were worried about it coming open in your bag.

Baggies are great to keep wet out but also excellent to keep wet in. =)

Thanks for this video. I never need to use sunscreen but it is nice to know how to use them in case I am with kids that need it. =)

When the vid started, I almost thought you were going to spray your kids with the different products and have them play in the sun for a couple hours and see which works best...

The spray ons are my favorite ones.. Easy and fast to get on my daughter.. Coppertone is what I always get.

Nice, thanks! Some of your other episodes are more entertaining, but this is one of the most useful! Thanks!

You've got email. I challenged you to find something. Help a mom out, lol. :-)

Yay! I'm always dreading putting sunblock on my son, but I think I'm gonna have to try those Coppertone spray-ons! (I figured they'd be as messy and uneven as those spray on tanners, but looks like they're worth it! :D)

THANKS, Gear Daddy! ^_^
