I can’t believe it is only March and summertime feels like it is just around the corner! I take my toddler out nearly everyday and now that the sun is starting to feel a bit stronger, I don’t think it is too soon to start thinking about protecting her skin from sun burn. While I definitely agree that a little sun is very beneficial and Vitamin D is best replenished by some rays, I also believe it is important to prevent delicate skin from the harmful effects of the sun.
It doesn’t take much for young skin to burn. If my little girl is outside under direct sunlight, her skin immediately turns red and this is my cue to slather on that sunscreen. She might hate that I chase her around with the sunblock, but she will thank me later when she doesn’t have signs of premature aging, or worse, an increased risk of melanoma.
In the past few years, sunscreen makers have gotten a bad reputation for containing harmful chemicals in their products. In this case, what would you do: take a possible risk from sun damaging effects, or from the cream that is suppose to protect you? It may seem like a tough call with a double edged sword, but when you have products like Earth’s Best Water Play Sunblock you have better options! With harmful chemicals excluded, you get natural UVA/UVB protection in a tear free formula that is paraben/phthalate free and water resistant. What more could you ask for? It feels good to know that I can protect my little girl’s skin without possibly creating other health issues from chemicals. As a matter of fact, this summer my hubby and I will also be protecting our skin with Earth’s Best sunscreen. It is a great product for the whole family!
