However,
while buying my new sunscreen supply for this year, I started hearing new
standards for sunscreen …and there were several new guidelines to
understand.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Thankfully
trusty MyFoxDFW
reporter “Save Me Steve” Noviello channeled my questions and put together a
great segment that helped me try to breakdown what I should and not be looking
for on my sunscreen.
WHAT I FOUND
Now
a little more educated on what to look for in my sunscreen, I came across two
new products from Banana Boat that caught my eye – one for being natural and
the other for not making me feel gross as soon as I put it on.
Banana Boat® Natural Reflect™
sunscreen lotion
– An all-natural sun protection line that deflects UVA and UVB rays without the
use of harsh chemical sunscreens, new Banana Boat® Natural Reflect™ products
are water resistant, oxybenzone- and paraben-free and are 100 %
naturally-sourced mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide. Banana Boat® Natural
Reflect™ sunscreen lotions are available for adults in SPF 50+, and in
Tear-Free, Sting-Free SPF 50+ lotions for kids and babies.
Banana Boat® Sport Performance® Cool
Zone™ Continuous Spray Sunscreen – Available in SPF 30 and 50+, Banana Boat®
Sport Performance® Cool Zone™ Continuous Spray Sunscreen provides active UVA
and UVB protection that instantly cools skin on contact, for a clean,
refreshing feeling. The line also includes the Banana Boat® Cool Zone™ After
Sun Aloe Gel to provide cooling burn relief to refresh skin after a day in the
sun.
WHAT TO DO
Every morning along with breakfast, dressing
and teeth brushing, I have to coat my kiddo in sunscreen for the day. While he
needs several coats of sunscreen before the end of the day, this is all I can
do since the school cannot apply sunscreen.
Really???
Since the FDA classified sunscreen as at an
over-the-counter medicine, most schools don’t allow them – including my son’s
school.
So I was
SUPER excited when I discovered my favorite sunscreen multitasking serum from Supergoop!has
initiated a campaign called Project Backpack to help get
kids protected from the sun. Project Backpack™ serves
as a vehicle to influence change in local and state policies, allowing the use
of sunscreen on school campuses, while simultaneously providing sunscreen to schools
across the United States.
Bet you haven’t
ever thought about your sunscreen that much?!? Just make sure now with all this
info, read the labels, throw out the old stuff, know what you’re getting and
how often to reapply!
Happy Summer Adventures in the Sun!
