Pros: works against burns and keeping bugs away Cons: does not smell that great
As I said in an earlier review about Banana Boat Kids Dri-Blok sunscreen we went a bit overboard on sunscreen this year. I originally purchased two different sunscreens one that is a higher SPF and water resistant for when she goes swimming and one for ...
Our family lives within a wooded area. My children love to play outdoors and need protection from both the sun and those pesky mosquitos that buzz around our property. Their fair skin and what I believe to be extra sweet blood requires skin protection...
Pros: PABA-free, hypoallergenic, contains UVA-blocking ingredients Cons: The smell- that horrible, horrible smell.
A few weeks ago, my grandfather purchased a farm. Three of the farm's eight acres is a small lake, perfect for fishing, swimming, and rafting. And also for bugs- those darn biting flies to be exact. The trees on the property, except for two large ones by...
Pros: SPF 30; Repels many types of insects Cons: Odor is a bit overwhelming
Here in Florida, sun and bugs are certain double trouble! And with so many products on the market now that claim to deter bugs and prevent sunburn, it is very tempting to purchase a few products to suit our needs. But don't be fooled! Now this...
Last summer when my daughter went to day camp, she needed to bring sunscreen and bug spray. Except that they werent allowed to bring anything that actually was a spray (I think that they were afraid of kids spraying it into other kids eyes). I ...
Pros: Works well as an insect repellent, minimally unpleasant Cons: Must use with some caution due to DEET; somewhat smelly.
Our yard is a bug magnet: with a pasture behind the house and a small stream nearby, it's mosquito heaven. Bug repellenet is a must, and so is sunscreen: even when the Texas sun is going down, it's still capable of scorching unprotected skin. Coppertone ...
Pros: effective protection against bug bites and sun damage Cons: -
These two things can make our lives miserable. Yesterday was spent at our annual neighborhood block party. I pulled out my trusty Coppertone Bug & Sun Lotion Kids SPF 30. It was a big hit with everyone.
Pros: convenient, relatively low price Cons: i dont care for the smell, a very heavy feeling lotion
Summer means mosquitos in the land of New jersey and to be honest my daughter never complained enough about being bitten to make me want to buy a repellant. The less chemicals the better in my opinion.
Pros: good price, excellent sunscreen Cons: mosquito repellent efficiency is debatable
I admit it, I am a frugal shopper. I saw this product and I figured hey why not! Save money. Buy one product that can take care of two needs. Sounded like a great deal to me! I like to keep sunscreen on the kids to prevent painful sunburns, and we...
Pros: works well, keeps bugs away Cons: pricey, but worth it
This stuff is great. I always use it when my kids are going out in the sun. We have very fair skin, and living in NH, the bugs can be enough to keep you in on a nice day. With this product we have not had one single sun burn, ever.
Pros: sun, uva, uvb, bug protection, fun bottle, waterproof, aloe vera, not greasy or thick Cons: could be a bigger bottle, but other than that, nothing.
The Deal
You want to be out in the sun enjoying a family picnic, you want to be out in the sun enjoying a nice, long walk in nature, or you want to be out in the sun catching some rays on the beach, but there are always harmful and annoying...
Pros: Sunscreen (SPF 30) and Bug Repellent that really works. Cons: Smell
I first purchased a bottle of Bug & Sun for my daughter while I was living in Germany. I purchased the bottle at the PX for about $5. It is now the only brand that I use for the kids and myself. Some features include:
Pros: Actually does what it says it can do. Cons: None that I can think of.
My 2 year old is very sensitive to bug bites. His skin swells at the spot of the bite quite severely and I have a hard time finding products that will work to keep the bugs away. We live near a lake and the mosquitos around our house are very bad. Add...
Pros: Smells great and offers excellent protection. Cons: The bottle doesn't have the best design. After awhile, the sunscreen won't come out normally and I have to unscrew the cap and use my fingers to get the lotion out.
I'm part Irish and very light skinned, and outdoor concerts (one of my favorite activities) used to leave me suffering with sunburns. It seemed that every new sunscreen I tried was useless. Then I happened upon Coppertone's Kid's Bug & Sun. (I...
