Stop the Rash
Allergic reactions from poison ivy, oak, and sumac account for more
than one million emergency room visits each year. Two new hypoallergenic,
fragrance-free products, buji Block, with SPF 20, and buji Wash,
effectively defend against, or cleanse away, toxic plant oil. (www.bujiproducts.com)
Block
the Sun
Don't go anywhere this summer without skin protection. If you have
sensitive skin, try Coppertone's Oil Free QuickCover Lotion Spray
Sunscreen. It was formulated to protect you from the sun without
clogging your pores or causing breakouts. It's waterproof (but be
sure to reapply after swimming or sweating) and has no ozone-depleting
CFCs. This SPF 50 sunscreen helps prevent premature skin aging from
sun exposure and contains moisturizers and vitamin E. Also from
Coppertone, Moisture Mist Tan Continuous Spray. (www.coppertone.com)
Food to Go
Protect yourself from illness by keeping your foods at the right
temperature. Warm & Tote, maker of handy food totes, offers
the Lunch 'n Buddie: a backpack into which you can toss snacks,
drinks, and a lunch in the special Lunch & Go tote that keeps
hot food hot and cold foods cold. A new travel option is Coach Café,
which not only lets you bring your own meal in the Lunch & Go,
but provides the amenities that a no-frills airline does not, including
a clean pillow, blanket, linen tablecloth and napkin, and other
helpful items. (www.warmandtote.com)
