Bath and Body Works Malibu Heat Broad Spectrum SPF 25 Sunscreen Lotion

I was browsing the Memorial Day deals on the Bath and Body Works website when I found a Malibu Heat that I had missed the first time around.  It must not have been up on the website because there ios no other way that I would have skipped over this product.  Last summer, I raved and raved about how this company brought out a spray sunscreen in its Signature Coconuts line and I loved the combination of fragrance and sun protection and hoped that the fragrance would get more people to use sunscreen on a regular basis.  It seems that the products must have sold well last year since Malibu Heat is now being released in an SPF 25 sunscreen lotion, I bought the Mango Coconut sunscreen last year and I will be buying the Malibu Heat sunscreen this year.

The Bath and Body Works website has a full product description.  "Our Malibu Heat Broad Spectrum SPF 25 Sunscreen Lotion helps prevent sunburn and if used as directed with other sun protection measures, decreases the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by UVA and UVB rays.  Our exlcusive Malibu Heat is a fresh blend of juicy pineapple, California orange, and creamy coconut milk inspired by hot pink sunsets and twenty-seven miles of beautiful beach."

I love the Malibu Heat scent for the summer and this is the perfect scent for the beach and the any outside occasion in the summer.  I hate wearing perfume to the beach since the direct sunlight can change the fragrance and many fragrances can seem very out of place in the ocean.  This sunscreen gives off a hint of fragrance, enough to be noticed but not enough to be overpowering and annoying to the others around you.  I am glad that Bath and Body Works offered a higher SPF than the traditional SPF 15 that is all over the market, I don't think that this sunscreen has any type of water or sweat resistance so the higher SPF means that it will only need to be reapplied about once every two hours.  I think that the Mango Coconut was an SPF 30 and I wonder why this one is lower but it's not that big of a deal for me. 

I applaud any effort that helps people use sunscreen more, this product makes it both easy and very fun to use any time that I will be outside.  I am actually tempted to buy a few bottles of this so that I have it to use all summer long!
