Nothing says FAIR SKIN like discovering sunburn after a completely overcast day. You know, one of those days when the clouds are stacked so thick that a fair-skinned person might say, ‘I probably could skip reapplying my sunscreen. It’s only been a few hours and it’s SOOO cloudy.’ Hypothetically speaking, of course 😉

After trial and error, the five in our family have unanimously agreed that Think Baby and Think Sport are the best options for us.
