Organic Children sun care giveaway

outdoor fun



So it's officially summer, words which makes us very happy. We are very much an outdoor type of family and intend to make the most of the good weather but this does not mean that we are completely going to throw caution to the wind in terms of skincare especially when it comes to Mr A who has fairly sensitive skin. I personally don't like putting unnecessary chemicals on his skin so I was really happy to hear about Organic Children Sun Lotion made by the lovely Green People. Of course though the product still needed to work, which I can say from our experience it does and in fact I use it as well now as it's non-greasy but moisturising and has no hidden nasties in it.

I wanted to share some tips about keeping safe in the sun

1. For one the sun is good for us - it provides us with a natural release of Vitamin D which is what our body needs to absorb Calcium. It's also proven to make us feel happier, so do get out when you can but children (and Adults) really do need to have suncream on, plus a summer hat is a must as it projects their face and neck.

2. Take frequent breaks from the sun during the hottest part of the day by moving into the shade every now and then.

3. Put suncream on were you don't expect like the top of your ears, the parting in your hair and the tops of your feet

4. Don't forget your sunglasses as your eyes also need protection from UV rays ( plus the look pretty good too)

5. Stay Hydrated - it's really important to keep drinking water to replace the water loss through sweating, this is particularly important with young children.

Great news, Green People have been kind enough to provide me with a mini "sun care set" for children to giveaway including the Scent Free Sun Lotion and After Sun worth over £27, it's super easy to enter and the giveaway ends on the 7th July

  31. Just plenty of covering up. I like the UV protection swimwear too as the skin can be kept covered but cool. And lots of water to drink too.

    ReplyDelete
  32. do not take your children onto the beach or for long periods outside in the noon and early afternoon sun- as it is at its most harmful time. leave it until mid afternoon and still obviously wear lots of suncream, make sure it is waterproof and always give them a hat and glasses & cover up their shoulders also re-administer suncream regularly . It might sound extreme but necessary

    ReplyDelete
  33. My best sun care tip is to allow sun exposure for up to 15 minutes before 11 am and after 3 pm, and for the mid hours, put on light covering clothing to protect from the sun.

  40. I tend to cover up the kids, I purchased a sun suit as I find putting on lotion tedious plus when we're on holiday abroad my daughter loves the water so rather than slathering her all over I can just put the suit on her and just put lotion on her face, neck, arms and feet. Also we avoid the middle of the day when the sun is at it's strongest
