So my kiddos, my hubby, and I all have VERY fair skin. I’m talkin’ “If I am outside longer than 45 minutes, I just might blister” fair. 🙂 I can’t tell you how many times I have gone to a playdate with my kids, forgotten sunscreen (or applied it first and didn’t think about the fact that we’d be outside for 5 hours so didn’t reapply) and left with a LOVELY red reminder of all that time out in the sun.
Last year my kids were part of some outdoor sports and I always felt like the world’s WORST mom when I forgot the sunscreen. One time I brought a can of sprayable sunscreen that just WOULD.NOT.SPRAY. I was SO UPSET! My kids NEEDED that stuff, darn it! The poor little ones had rosy cheeks and noses before even an hour was up!
With the weather warming up here in Texas (it’s supposed to be in the 80s the rest of this week!), I have vowed not to let that happen again. I will NOT let my kids burn and I will NOT let my skin burn! Skin cancer is a growing problem and members from BOTH sides of my family have dealt with it…. I won’t let it happen to me if I can help it!!
I got to try a new sunscreen and I wanted to share it with you guys. It is from KINeSYS and it is a GREAT natural alternative to the sunscreen you might normally buy! Listen to this:
KINeSYS Performance Spray Sunscreen
Protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays with a complete range of performance sunscreens for athletes and the entire family. Paraben, PABA, preservative, alcohol and oil FREE formulas in a convenient, fully recyclable, Microspray™ bottle. Check out our complete line of products here.
Allergy Information:
No parabens, preservatives, nanoparticles, nuts, nut oil, gluten, dairy, egg, soy, sulphites or colourants have been added to these products.
How COOL is that!? I’m always on the look out for items that are safe and effective for my kids….and good for the environment, too?! SIGN ME UP!
They have all SORTS of awesome products available. I got to try a 4oz Mango-scented spray and a 1oz unscented spray. They worked GREAT, sprayed on like a dream, and the kids LOVED how easily I could apply them. They normally see the sunscreen bottle and SCREAM, running in horror because they don’t want it in their eyes. With this one, I felt better from the get-go knowing that the ingredients were MUCH safer for them and I made sure they knew it too. I can usually talk them into things like that. haha Anyway, it worked and the spray went on well and lasted! I am SO buying more of this when we run out! I think I might get a bottle of their Girl sunscreen for Grace’s 6th birthday in May!

I’d like to win the kids SPF 30 alcohol free sunscreen.. I work at a summer camp and all of my campers use toxic (and smelly) sunscreen. I know if I recommended this stuff to their parents, they might just buy it!
thanks!
