Last year at the beach we kept Hailey slathered with sunblock, and the particular brand that I had purchased worked wonderfully. So, this year, I didn't hesitate to purchase another tube of it. Unfortunately for us, the next day after applying it, she...
Pros: Keeps away those UVA and UVB rays! Fun to put on. Cons: none!
Now that my son is a little bit older, we are spending a lot of time outdoors this summer. We bought a pool, filled up the sandbox, and broke out the bubble lawnmower. But, with outdoor play comes the heat and the sun. In other words, we needed sun...
3 weeks ago, we decided to take the kids to Florida to see my father. It's been 6 years since we've seen him. My children have never been to Florida, and living in Alabama they have never truly been exposed to the sun. I grew up in St. Petersburg and...
Pros: 40 SPF; 6-hour & waterproof sunblock lotion; hypoallergenic; formulated for kids; Cons: pricey, but can purchase in larger size for better savings; need to keep out of eyes; if ingested need to contact poison control; warning to discontinue use if skin irritation occurs;
My kids, Michael, 7, and Daniel, 4, just finished up with summer day camp. They had the time of their lives swimming twice a day, riding horses, hiking, boating, sports, arts/crafts, etc. They had very active fun-filled days.
Pros: Non-irritating to my kids eyes, outlasts most other products in the water. Cons: Keep it away from the hairline to avoid a greasy residue.
The Coppertone KIDS Sunblock Stick SPF 30 has to be one of my most favored sunscreen finds of the summer. I have a bunch of products that I use for the whole body but this little gem is perfect for my kids sensitive faces and shoulders. It’s...
Pros: Small in size, convenient, easy to apply to little kids Cons: Shiny application, not useful for large surfaces of skin
As the mother of two young children (ages 2 3/4 years and 13 months), I have the usual repertoire of suncare products on my bathroom shelves. But the Coppertone Kids 30SPF 6-Hour Waterproof Sunblock Stick has a permanent home in my diaper bag....
Pros: Prevents sunburn, light pleasant fragrance, Cons: Leaves ever-so-slightly greasy film
The basics
As a fair-skinned mother to three little fair-skinned children (and a family history of skin cancer) I am religious about applying sunscreen to my kids and myself. So, when my daughter decided to apply the old...
Skin Types
Nature wasn't kind to me. I was born with light, freckled skin and blonde hair. This is a no-no combination in the sun. As a kid, I experienced so many sunburns, until I lost count. Back then, sun block just wasn't considered that...
Pros: Waterproof for miles, minimal grimy film Cons: Makes your face pimply, can get all over your bag
Like so many of the other people who have written reviews in this catagory, I also have fair skin. Those of us who burn easily really know the importance of a quality sunblock. Even though I am not a kid, I lean towards this Sunblock as a favorite. I...
You know the one....the green bottle with the pink top. This is like a miracle in a bottle to our household. I have two young children and we have spent more time in the sun this summer than any other summer since they were born and we have not had one...
Pros: It works, and works and works Cons: Burns if skin is already chapped or burnt
It doesn't matter how good your surgeon is...they have to take very large margins around a melanoma, the scar is ugly and has railroad tracks. And the scars aren't usually in inconspicuous places either....normally on the top of the shoulder, or the...
My kids spend a lot of time in the sun and Coppertone Kids is the only product I use to protect their delicate baby skin.
It comes in different colors and we like purple best. That is kind of a boy/girl color so I don't have to deal with any...
It took me a long time to find a sunblock that I like and works well on my fair skinned daughter. I have tried many different brands and I have to say that Coppertone's Kids Sunblock works great on my daughter. It truly prevents her from sunburn which...
