When you go outside this sizzling summer don’t forget the sunscreen! How you take care of your skin now will make a huge difference later.
I cringe at the thought of my sun bathing practices as a child and young adult. My friends and I used to lay out in the sun with baby oil or tanning oil with hardly any sunscreen in it. Wow. I wish I would have made wiser choices back then. Part of making wiser choices is becoming educated. As an adult I ended up with skin cancer on my ear. The thought of putting sunscreen on my ears had never crossed my mind! The doctor was able to remove it, however, I had to have skin grafted on to my ear. Do I use sunscreen now? You bet! My kids get smeared down from head to toe also.
It is imperative to find a dermatologist and pharmacist recommended sunscreen. I have found a quality brand that provides broad UV coverage you can trust.
About Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen:
Blue Lizard was formulated to protect you against the burning UVB rays and also against harmful UVA rays. UVA rays cause sun damage that is most associated with aging and melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Not all sunscreens have this capability. All of our products are broad spectrum, a which is very important in terms of skin safety.
Blue Lizard sunscreen has an SPF of 30+ and contains at least 6% Zinc Oxide. There are several dermatologist recommended formulas that cover the entire family.
- Face – For daily protection, Oil-Free, Paraben-Free, Fragrance-Free
- Baby – Chemical Free, Paraben-Free, Fragrance-Free
- Sensitive – For delicate skin types, Chemical-Free, Paraben-Free, Fragrance-Free
- Sport – Water resistant up to 240 minutes
If you are unsure about what time of day the harmful UV rays are out, take your Blue Lizard sunscreen outside with you. As you can see in this picture, after being exposed to UV rays the caps turn blue on the Face and Sport formulas. The Baby bottle turns pink and the Sensitive bottle turns blue – both from the original white.
Here are a few of the major reasons why Blue Lizard Sunscreen is recommended by dermatologists and moms everywhere:
- Originally created in Australia, where sunscreen standards are the strictest in the world. Blue Lizard is now made in the U.S., in Johnson City, Tenn.
- Pharmaceutical-grade sunscreen made by Crown Laboratories with the highest quality ingredients.
- Ranked as one of the top sunscreens by the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
- Sport & Regular are extremely water resistant. These formulas meet Australian standards of staying on in 240 minutes of whirlpool water.
