Baby Powder To Remove Sand

Recommended by JV

Use travel baby powder to take sand off your kid at the beach...sprinkle wet and sandy hands/feet/bellies with baby powder, and magically the sand just…comes off. This is for all those frustrating moments when they are drenched in sand but begging for a snack, or when you are removing swim diapers and bathing suits to get into the car. Douse them in baby powder, bc goddamn, it works.

I used to use baby powder for this but now it is harder to find. Cornstarch is a tolerable replacement. I bought a stainless steel powdered sugar shaker with a lid and keep it in my truck for beach days with the kids.

Brilliant. This sugar shaker solution sounds like it would cover more surface area too

“Try this once and you will never go back to using WATER to remove sand. In fact, you’ll be in utter disbelief at the effectiveness of this non-magic magic trip.”
