Sand Gone – A Must for Beachgoers

This weekend we’ve enjoyed a family “Staycation.” We’re pretty spoiled by where we live so we’ve been able to hit the beach and the pool without the pain of travel. Even though we live fewer than 10 miles from the beach, we really don’t go as often as you would think. The main reason we don’t go? The sand. My husband hates it. He hates the fact that no matter how hard you try to rinse and wipe, you still track sand in the car and the house. Well, this year we have a new weapon in our battle against the sand – Sand Gone.

About Sand Gone

SAND GONE is not only non-toxic and non-talc, and easy to apply and use, but also smells good, feels good, is inexpensive and does a thorough, wonderful job each and every time. “It makes the ride home from the beach as clean and comfortable as the ride there.” [Inventor Tiffany Smith] adds, “I want my invention to become one of those must-haves at the beach or at any sandlot in the park. You will know to bring your sunblock and shades…but also your SAND GONE.

Sand Gone vs. Sand

Sand Gone comes in an 8 ounce tub and the texture is similar to baby powder. It has a very nice smell, it’s beachy and fresh without being overwhelming. It goes on with a soft puff similar to a face powder make up. It is incredibly soft and smooth when applied, though. It’s really feels like you’re applying some sort of fancy body powder and not a product designed to get rid of sand. But, somehow it actually does help get rid of the sand.

We’ve been using Sand Gone for a month or two. Our first coupls uses were on our cruise in March. Our entire family used it and liked the way it felt and smelled. Sand Gone has been a big part of our Memorial Day weekend, too, on our Staycation at the beach. The only problem with the Sand Gone is that it doesn’t work on wet skin and sand. After some trial and error, I think we’ve discovered the best way to use it. Here’s our Sand Gone approach: rinse off using the beach shower and then dry while walking to the car. Dry off with clean dry towels in the car and then apply Sand Gone. With that method, it’s works like a charm! It’d be perfect for a beach house, too, because by the time you walk back to the house you’re dry and can apply the Sand Gone.

To Buy or Not to Buy

To Buy… Even if Sand Gone didn’t remove sand, it would be lovely, but it does. It has a pleasant scent and feels soft and smooth on. Even the kids like it. I definitely think it’s worth a try for a beach vacation. Or, if you live near the beach, it’s worth keeping it in your car like we do.

Or Not to Buy… The only real problem with Sand Gone is that it doesn’t worth on wet skin, and if you’re at the beach chances are you have wet skin. You need to figure a system where you dry off adequately to use the product or it doesn’t work.

Shop! Purchase Sand Gone online – it’s $12 for an 8 ounce tub (which is plenty big – we’ve used it a lot and the container still looks full).
