Sun Safety for Your Kids

It’s summertime! What’s that mean for parents and kids? Well, it probably means more time outdoors and the typical child loves to be outside whenever the sun is shining, sometimes even when it isn’t. Here are a few sun safety tips you should probably tell or at least teach your child.
1 Don’t use old bottles of sunscreen. Believe it or not that old bottle from last year is bad for you, it no longer contains everything in it needed to protect your skin. In a way it is more like putting lotion on now.
2 Apply Sunscreen. I …read more

Frolicking in Sun?

It’s a holiday weekend and for lots of folks it’s the first weekend we’ll spend frolicking in the sun at the lake or beach.
 I’m recommending a great sunscreen for the whole family. I loath lotion sunscreen – it’s just icky and I’ve got to wipe it all over my self and two kids. Grossimer. Last year I tried one that said it was spray on, but it just sprayed globs of lotion that you had to try to spread around.
This year I’ve found Coppertone Continuous Spray No Rub Sunscreen, it’s really nice. It just mists all over and you never …read more
