I’ve been making it a point to spend as much time in the sunshine this summer, trying to get at least one beach or pool day in during the weekends. So far so good… I have a great tan going and the time outdoors in in the sun helps melt away my weekday stress. The sound of the water, kids playing or doggies splashing, and the warmth on my skin is like free therapy.

Of course, what’s good for my mental health isn’t necessarily good for my skin, which is where slathering on the sunscreen comes into play. I was introduced to the best sunscreen by a friend this summer- Neutrogena Cooling Body Mist Sunblock. The one-touch continuous spray cools your body as it hits your skin. I’m not sure what miracle ingredient makes this possible, but I am addicted. I kept reaching for the bottle to cool myself down. Requires much less energy than running into the waves, and is better for my skin! You must give it a try…
