Found: a great new sunscreen.

I haven’t had many sunburns in my life, but a few weeks ago, on this backpacking trip, I ended up with a pretty bad one on my shoulders.

The same thing almost happened again when I was in New York a couple of weeks ago – I was running around for work and noticed that my shoulders were getting redder and redder. LUCKILY, because I was in NYC, I was able to pop into a little shop and pick this up:Screen Shot 2015-07-25 at 2.15.58 PMI got it because it seemed like it would be refreshing on a hot day (spoiler alert: it was). I also quickly checked the EWG Sunscreen Ratings and learned that on the whole, Supergoop sunscreens rate pretty well. (Since this is a newer product, it wasn’t listed on the site yet, but hopefully it is in line with other Supergoop products).

I LOVED this mist. The small size is perfect to pop into your bag or keep at your desk, while the larger size would be great for a beach bag. It did feel cool and refreshing, and I enjoyed the mild rosemary scent.

If anyone else out there has been on the hunt for a great new sunscreen, I highly recommend this one – not as a base layer, but more for touch-ups throughout the day.

And since I love to try new things and make new discoveries, If you’ve got one to share, please let me know!

Have a great weekend!
