Huge, Glamorous and All-Natural

My summer-sunscreen advice has always been to get the biggest, highest-end tube of sunscreen for the beach/pool you can find: The bigness and the fanciness both conspire to get you to apply more, more frequently. Here is my summer-of-budgetary-concern/green-awareness edition: The new Burt’s Bees big fat tube of SPF 30. It looks fantastic despite its relative-to-department-store-brands low cost. And it’s green and it’s big. And yes, you do need a new tube of sunscreen, even if you are in the sodden Northeast like me.
