Another Lotion? This Bottle is One Worth Picking Up
If you are trying to maintain that awesome tan you’ve been working on for the last few weeks, you may need to do some some soothing before you create some serious damage to the epidermis. I will admit, I had my days as a sun bathing beauty, and still love to get in a session here or there (I am definitely not referring to the tanning booth). But now, after literally having had spent years in the sun getting a deep, dark tan, I take it a bit easier on my poor skin and actually wear sunscreen instead of slathering on oil which will leave anyone, not just me, cooking like a chicken. I try to stay between an SPF of 15 to 30. This coverage allows me to both tan and stay protected. If you opt for the tanning oil and think sunblock is for fools, OR if you accidentally fall asleep and the burn was inevitable, its good to have an after sun skin soother on hand…Burt’s Bees–creator of almost all things good, natural and sweet-smelling has their own after sun soother,

Burt’s Bees Aloe & Linden Flower After Sun Soother $6.25
This quick absorbing body and face lotion has aloe in it, the magic ingredient for sunburns and overexposure as some of you may know. What’s the difference between this stuff and the bottle of green aloe vera gel you can get for two bucks at the local drugstore? This lotion is packed with other aiding ingredients that will help the healing faster and may even be more moisturizing for the skin.

I actually think it makes my skin feel sticky and have the urge to wash it off once I’ve slathered it on. Linden flower has been said to be used in medical preparations, there is also coconut oil, and bee pollen in the formula to help restore the natural moisture to your parched skin. Aside from all the good ingredients, this is a lotion that can be used year round for those of you who are in the sun on a daily basis (This applies to you coastal/beach town people). Burt’s Bees can be found almost anywhere these days and I recommend that this would be one bottle worth picking up this summer.





















I woke up this morning and found my lips chapped and peeling, suffice to say not my sexiest moment. Being a supreme bonehead I took a pair of 


Interesting fact:Burt’s Bees was just purchased by Clorox in November for close to $1 billion. That may seem like a lot, but since 2000, the company known for natural products and lip balm that dreams are made of, brought in around $164 million. Apparently, the bleach giant sees even bigger potential in ‘ol Burt, and plans to make the brand a household word by selling it in Wal-Mart and the like.
