Come explore the geology of Florida's Gulf Coast beaches, from a bird's-eye view down to a crab's-eye view. You'll journey from Panhandle sugar-sand beaches to southwestern shell beaches, taking a fresh look at the ever-changing landscape. With Tonya Clayton as your guide, you'll learn how to recognize the stories and read the clues of these dynamic shores, reshaped daily by winds, waves, and sometimes bulldozers or dump trucks.
This dynamic tour begins with a broad description of Florida's Gulf Coast, roaming from popular Perdido Key in the northwest to remote Cape Sable in the south. You'll first fly over large-scale coastal features such as the barrier islands, learning to spot signs of the many processes that shape the shores. In subsequent chapters you'll visit dunes and beaches to check out sand ripples, tracings, and other markings that show the handiwork of beach breezes, ocean waves, animal life, and even raindrops and air bubbles. You'll also encounter signs of human shaping, including massive boulder structures and sand megatransfers. With a conversational style and more than a hundred illustrations, How to Read a Florida Gulf Coast Beach makes coastal science accessible, carrying vacationers and Florida natives alike on a lively, informative tour of local beach features.

Really help soothe redness and speed up healing
I've been using these patches for a while now and I'm very happy with them - they're virtually invisible on the skin, stay on well and really help soothe redness and speed up healing.

My kid loves them!
My kid loves these. They also said they like that, unlike some other ones, they can see underneath it somewhat to tell when its more ready to come off.

Love this entire skincare line
We love this product! I have a teenage daughter who uses it and absolutely raves about it. We use the entire line, including the facial cleanser, toner, and more. Everything about these products has been great—effective, gentle, and high quality. Highly recommend!

Works great, just no different from any other pimple patch on the market
These pimple patches by Thayers are made from 100% hydrocolloid and definitely work in terms of helping speed up the pimple healing process. These pimple patches work best when your pimple is ripe enough. If you stick these pimple patches on when your pimples are not ripe enough yet, they will not do anything, and it would be a waste of a pimple sticker. You know when your pimple is ripe when it comes to a head and has that little white spot. When it's ripe, I would stick this pimple patch overnight and typically by the time I wake up, the pimple patch will have absorbed all the gunk from my pimple. You will know that it worked if you see your pimple patch turn white. Sometimes it might take an extra night for the gunk to come out. When you stick these pimple patches on, make sure your face is freshly washed without any face products or else they won't stick as well. Given what the Thayers brand is known for (natural remedies and herbal extracts), I would think that they would infuse some natural ingredients into this pimple patch to help speed up the healing process even more. But to my disappointment, they did not add any additional active ingredient to this pimple patch despite what their brand stands for so I took off a star.

Great for my teen
We love Thayers everything. They work so great and they truly are invisible. My daughter can wear them to school and not even realize they’re on her face.
