Summer Fun with Coppertone Giveaway

Now that summer is here, we have lots of fun beach trips and picnics and park outings planned.  There's nothing better than relaxing in the sun with an ice-cold drink while watching the kids play!

Spending so much time outdoors does come with a price, though:  the increased exposure to the damaging rays of the sun.  Sun safety is a Big Deal in our household. Alfie is English, and my kids are half-English, and we all know fair skin is particularly vulnerable in sunny places like California. Alfie lived in Australia for 5 years, and he saw first-hand how the strong Australian sun have sent melanoma incidence rates skyrocketing in the fair-skinned Australian population.

THIS is what happens after a day without sunscreen, and it's a very bad thing, both short-term (the pain, the redness, the peeling) and long-term (skin aging, the increased risk of skin cancer). I still feel pangs of parental guilt looking at it. Avoiding sunburn can be as simple as practicing a few sun safety tips, such as wearing a hat and sunscreen.  For sunscreen options, check out 3 of Coppertone's latest products:

* For active adults, Coppertone Sport Pro Series 50+ sunscreens stay on strong and move with the skin in hot and humid weather as well as during intense exercise.


* For active kids, Coppertone Wet ‘n Clear Kids SPF 45+ simplifies reapplication. There’s no need to towel them off before reapplying and it sprays on clear.


* For the little ones, Coppertone Water Babies Pure & Simple Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is a hypoallergenic, oil and fragrance free lotion made specifically for babies’ delicate skin.

Coppertone sunscreens are a household staple, year-round, so we never have to give up a fun day outdoors!
