People take literally tons of sand away from beaches every year. So maybe it isn't so bad if we leave the sand and a little powder behind. ;) Plus, depending on brand, baby powder is considered an "enviro-safe" product. We have sand under the playground in our backyard and use it by the back door. We also use it at our church for Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870090470367204143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-45176081685417585302012-08-11T02:56:10.661-04:002012-08-11T02:56:10.661-04:00We used it on the toddler and baby when we got bac...We used it on the toddler and baby when we got back to the car from the beach. The sand was dry but stuck on with body moisture and this just brushed it off gently without being as abrasive as just brushing the sand off with your hand. I found it more comfortable myself too (good for delicate skin)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-61817628341405013132012-08-09T15:17:22.294-04:002012-08-09T15:17:22.294-04:00I was just talking to a friend about this today. B...I was just talking to a friend about this today. Baby powder (talc) is great for removing those stuck on grains of sand that just seem to stick even when they are dry. I live near the beach and have found it the best way of de sanding my children before getting back in the car. If we are walking home - they just have to keep bruching the sand off.<br /><br />speaking of which I still have sand Claire Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923437480914463238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-61534594856196749542012-08-08T16:12:58.156-04:002012-08-08T16:12:58.156-04:00Talc is a mineral, so I don't think it's s...Talc is a mineral, so I don't think it's so bad leaving it there in the sand with the other minerals.

Love it. I wait until we are done walking through the sand and in the parking lot before use.

We've always just waited until we got back to the car and then brushed the sand off our feet with the towel, because by then it's completely dry.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932948160120089696noreply@blogger.com
