    applying sunscreen to face

    This probably seems like a really silly post, but my husband started using one of the foam make-up wedges to put sunscreen on the kids's faces and it works so well.  We use the thick zinc sunscreen and I always had a hard time rubbing it into their faces and getting it in all of the nooks and crannys.  Maybe others already do this, but I never would have thought of it, so I thought I would pass it along.

    That's a great idea!  I would have never thought of that and I think I will try it. Thanks.

    That is great.  My ds has a field trip tomorrow and we use zinc oxide too.  It is so hard to rub in-thanks

    For non-intense exposure like a trip to the playground, I would always strap the kids in their car seats and then put it on arms, legs, and faces before we left the house.  You might have to do the back of the neck before, but it definitely simplified the process for us.
