Coppertone Pure & Simple Baby SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Stick Review

This sunscreen stick is a mainstay in my diaper bag because it offers a reliable way to touch up my daughter's sunscreen when we're outside.

More often than not, my daughter will say “no want to put on sunscreen” when she knows I’m about to come at her with some sunscreen before going outside in the morning.

I need to up my game so that my skin doesn’t start to freak out.
