Summer Must Have Beauty: California Baby SPF 30+ Sunscreen Lotion

During a scorching hot day, I slathered my son with a waterproof SPF 50 that my husband and I both used. Hours later, my son developed a rash on his cheeks that lasted for days.

The solution for protecting the skin of sensitive skinned babies and toddlers is California Baby’s SPF30 Sunscreen. The active ingredient titanium dioxide protects baby’s skin and all natural ingredients selected for the most sensitive of skin will keep baby’s dermis from complaining.

My son has used the scented and unscented versions of this product, with great success!

A 2.9 oz. tube retails for $17.99 on the California Baby website. Or, click HERE to buy California Baby at drugstore.com

Summer Must Have Beauty: Colorescience Wild To Mild Skin Bronzer

summer must have beauty products, Colorescience, Wild To Mild, Soothing Smoothing Skin Bronzer, Cream Skin Bronzer Dewy, bronze skin is coveted by all this summer. Colorescience responds to the demand with Wild To Mild Skin Bronzer, a creamy mousse-like bronzer. This product can be used as a foundation primer, or to replace your foundation altogether!

My skin is extremely fair, so I generally shy away from cream-based bronzers, afraid they would look too severe. The versatility of this product makes it perfect for most skin tones. I personally used Wild To Mild as a primer, applying my favorite foundation over its amazing bronze tone. The result was an incredibly healthy looking, natural bronze color. Those less fair can replace their foundation with this product entirely, to achieve a natural and healthy glow.

Wild To Mild is actually the Colorescience "Line Tamer" product with an added bronze tint. So rather than simply bronze the skin–the way most bronzers do–this product minimizes pores and conceals fine lines (and does so incredibly well, may I add). Added zinc and titanium dioxide also help prevent sun damage!

Retail price of this product is $45. I know… seems a bit pricey. But Colorescience has recently increased the bottle size by 50%, to ensure the price is worth your while!
