No more greasy fingers or uncomfortable rubbing. Now, applying sunscreen is smooth and mess-free.

Last week, we shared our favorite sunscreens in this post. But, even if we find the best and most convenient, and as important as sunscreen is, when it comes down to it, it’s not fun to apply.

Kids squirm. They don’t like the feel of being rubbed. And we don’t like the feeling of greasy hands, no matter whether we’re applying it on ourselves or our children.

This hack changes that! At first we thought it was a bit gimmicky. But we were quickly convinced otherwise because once we tried it…there was no turning back. Using a flat-topped makeup brush to apply sunscreen gave us more accurate coverage and control (dedicate it specifically for this purpose). The sunscreen doesn’t get in your eyes–you can easily rub it under the eye and over the eye. 

Kids don’t mind the feel of it. They actually appreciate that no one is touching and rubbing them. Plus: Your hands don’t end up dirty and sticky. 

Now, the makeup brush stays right next to the sunscreen. Keep them together and you’ll see the sunscreen routine will be much more consistent!
