SUN-Sational, Safe, Sunscreens


As moms, we want to protect our babies and children from harm. During the summer months, while we are spending lots of time outdoors with our little ones, the Sun can be cause for alarm. Playdates in the park, time at the beach or spent swimming in the pool can equal long exposure to direct sunlight.

First and foremost, it is important to dress our children appropriately during the summer months. The safest way to limit sun exposure is by covering them with hats and t-shirts but if your little one has trouble keeping these on, then it's time to break out the "Sun Block!"

Sounds like a simple enough solution but with so many choices out there, how do we know which ones to use? Should we, "Get on the Boat. The Banana Boat?" Or use sunscreens like Coppertone, that our moms put on us? This is where research and networking comes into play again. Fortunately for those reading this blog, I have done the work for you!

Here are websites that list the best sunscreens to use as well as other great tips for Summer. You can even check the sunscreen you are currently using to see how it measures up!





Wishing everyone a Healthy and Happy Summer!!!! Until next time.... Live well!
