Sunny Days = Lots of Rays

Do your kids ask to put sunscreen on or do they run?  Sun protection is important.  We have to teach our little ones how important it is.

My kid will run out and is ready to play in the sun.  I used to be the same care free way when I was younger too.  But my mother always covered us full body with a white coat of sunscreen.  I have to admit I have done the same.

Thanks to Australia Gold for sending sample products for review.  All opinions stated are my own based on my personal experience.

Tips to protecting your little one's skin:

1)  Wet/Dry sunscreen-Sunscreen goop can sometimes feel so heavy.  It can take for ever to dry.  As  a kid, one minute is for ever.

Hello Kitty body mist sunscreens are so easy to use.  The spray can be applied to wet or dry skin.  Like when you get to the beach and your kid runs into the waves before you cover them with sunscreen.  The plus is that it smells lovely and it has Hello Kitty on it.  So my daughter loves it.  She said it is for little girls only.  I like that it is water resistant for 80 minutes.

The SPF 50 body mist has a light and clean Paradise Pineapple fragrance. Australian Gold combines cutting edge sunscreen protection with Asian skin caring ingredients, Yomogi and Butterfly Bush, to deliver sun protection with exceptional skin care.

2)  Lip balm-Lips need protection too. 

The SPF 30 Lip Balm delivers sun protection and conditions lips with Jojoba, Sunflower Seed Oil, Pomegranate, and Vitamin E.

Again my daughter thinks this is make up so she likes putting it on.  We have been doing a lot of outdoors activities.

It is safe to use on tattoos. 

3) Reapply-Don't forgot to reapply. 

4) Head gear-Find a hat or cap that your kids like or they may not want to wear it. 

5)  Cover Ups-When your little ones are not in the sun, cover them up.  If they are like mine, they will not sit under the towel.  I found this cover up that even has a hoodie that my daughter loves.  For boys, I recommend putting a dry shirt on them.

 Mom and dad-Don't forget to cover your body too.  You are running around taking care of the kids and may forget to put sunscreen on you.

My tip for you is put sunscreen on before you leave the house.  I always make everyone use the restroom before we leave the house.  When it is my turn, that is when I put sunscreen on me. 

Australian Gold Extreme Sport 30 is water resistant for 80 minutes. It has Australian naturals, moisturizers, and aloe vera.  I like the way it smells. 

And don't forget to reapply.  I lather/spray/mist the kids first.  Then I do me.

On-The-Go Towelettes Review

***Disclosure-Sample product was received.  All opinions stated are my own based on personal experience.

My skin has been taking a beating from me in the last past months.  When I am not running, I am on the bike.  My body is in contact with the sun and of course washing my face can take a toll on my skin.

Board Certified Dermatologist Dr. Marina Peredo says, “skin nourishment is a must.”  It’s important to provide skin with the hydration it needs to ensure a perfectly clean, radiant complexion.

Dr. Peredo’s pick?  Dickinson’s Original Witch Hazel’s NEW On-The-Go Refreshingly Clean Towelettes! Each individually wrapped Towelette offers even the most sensitive skin a healthy dose of aloe vera and 100% natural witch hazel to restore moisture balance and refresh skin on-the-go.

Dickinson’s Original Witch Hazel is the only gentle, non-irritating skincare line formulated with natural witch hazel to effectively remove excess oil and impurities, without stripping skin of essential moisture.  Suitable for all skin types, using Dickinson’s Original Witch Hazel will reveal perfectly clean & naturally balanced skin. 

Dr. Peredo’s Summer Survival Guide:

·         Too much sun? Dickinson’s Original Witch hazel cools and refreshes your face on contact

·         Use witch hazel to take the itch and inflammation out of a bug bite

·         For maximum skin conditioning this season, let Dickinson’s Original Witch Hazel Pore Perfecting Toner set in the skin for at least 30 seconds before applying moisturizer

This have been great.  We used them all last week when we were at SeaWorld.  I wanted to stay refreshed.  Hanging out at a theme park all day, we were sweating, in the sun, and having fun.  These were great to take on the go and carry in my bag.
