Finally, we are headed East and getting some salt air in our lungs for a few days.  With no plans other than sitting in the sun, and tipping a few back, our biggest concern is making sure we don’t get fried to a crisp.  To make sure we don’t come home a deep shade of red, we normally turn to Jack Black products.  The feature below originally ran on July 2, 2011.

Sunburn sucks.  There is just no other way to say it. While it may feel great to bask in the sun for days on end, if you don’t make sure you are protected from the sun, you are going to be in some serious pain.  Sure, aloe can be quite soothing for a bit, but the general uncomfortableness that comes from a serious sunburn is something we try to avoid at all costs.  To make sure you get a great tan without the pain, check out the Sun Guard Sunscreen and Intense Therapy Lip Balm by Jack Black.

The Sun Guard Sunscreen and Intense Therapy Lip Balm from Jack Black both feature UVA and UVB protection.  The SPF 45 sunscreen will help you avoid being burnt to a crisp with an oil-free, and sweat-resistant, formula that absorbs quickly so you won’t be left  feeling greasy after application.  The lip balm has an SPF of 25, and comes in a variety of flavors.  It may seem silly to include lip balm in your beach bag, but you don’t want to deal with sunburned lips, trust us.  While there are a ton of options out there when it comes to sun protection, the products in Jack Black’s line are truly a cut above.
