How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Sun Safe Days With Neutrogena ~ $130 Giveaway!

in Lifestyle on 08/04/16

Beachday Beachbag

I adore every single thing about the summer. The smell of fresh cut grass, the bright blue skies, walks on the beach and excuses for extra scoops of ice cream.  There’s nothing better than the hours spent basking in the sun and swimming in pools…heated to at least 85 degrees please.  There is of course one wee problem, the risk of too much sun.   You have to be careful with the sun.  One way to protect yourself, to protect your skin and take good care of the people you love, is to be vigilant about the use of sunscreen.

What else can a family to do?  Know that whether you are flying, driving, or taking a train this weekend, outside for just a short time, or for the entire day, remember that you will still be exposed to UV rays.  Here are some tips on how to protect yourself and your little one’s.

*Protect your face and hands and reapply every two hours as you travel with NEUTROGENA® ULTRA SHEER® Face & Body Stick Sunscreen SPF 50+ and AVEENO® BABY® Sensitive Skin Face Sun Stick SPF 50 for your small ones. They’re carry-on friendly!

*If you are planning to post-up by the lake, beach or pool; Try NEUTROGENA® BEACH DEFENSE™ Lotion (or spray, for fuss-free; sand-free re-application), designed to help protect against the toughest conditions of summer with 80-minute water resistance.

Skin feeling burnt out from the weekend festivities?  For UV protection plus moisturization, try AVEENO® PROTECT + HYDRATETM Sunscreen with ACTIVE NATURALS® Colloidal Oatmeal to help reverse dehydration caused by the sun in a single application.

*Remember to Lead by Example! Studies show that children are more likely to adopt healthy habits, like applying sunscreen, if they see their moms applying it on themselves. It’s important to rally moms to use sunscreen in front of their kids in order to demonstrate the importance of daily sunscreen use!

Other tips include:

  • Apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before you head outdoors.
  • Make sure you are using enough sunscreen. You will need to use approximately 1 ounce of sunscreen per application. That’s about the amount it would take to fill a shot glass. (and don’t forget the little places like the tops of your ears and feet)
  • Wear sunglasses that offer UV protection.
  • If your outside for extended periods of time, seek shade when possible. Think pool side umbrellas and palm trees on the beach. You can still enjoy your time outside while basking in the shade of a palm tree or umbrella.
  • Consider limiting the number of hours you are outside when the sun is at it’s hottest. UV rays are usually strongest between the hours of 10am and 2pm.
  • Stay hydrated.

We want to make sure you and your loved one’s are staying sun safe this summer, so with some help from Neutrogena, and Aveeno one lucky reader of How To Survive Life In The Suburbs will win this incredible gift pack of sunscreens!

      My tip to stay sun safe this summer is to apply a sunscreen with a high SPF
      about 30 minutes before going outdoors.This is a good thing to practice all
      year long, and don ‘t forget the same treatment for your lips.They need prot-
      ection too. 🙂

      Minimize the time you are right in the sun and wear sunscreen and a hat!

      My best tip is to simply stay out of the sun during the peak sun times of the day (10-2) – and if you have to be in the sun during that time, load up on good sunscreen and don’t forget your ears and feet!

      I don’t have a sun parasol so I carry a large golf umbrella. The down side is I get a lot of smart aleck kids, teens & adults yelling “It’s not raining!” ☂

      I am even more aware of spf on the face after I had to have cancer removed from my nose. Be generous with sunscreen and wear a hat…

      Apply sunscreen before going into the sun and reapplying as directed on bottle. Wear a hat with a brim and find shade as much as possible.
