How to keep your kids safe in the sun {UV Skinz review and #giveaway}

This summer, as you and your children are playing outside, taking trips to the beach, going to the park and all the other fun family outings planned, it is vitally important that you all remember to keep everyone safe from the sun’s damaging rays. Years ago, no one thought about sun safety, running around in the sun all day, getting burned, but now we are seeing those from that time with skin cancers and sun-damaged skin! Children especially are prone to sunburns, especially those, like my son, with fair skin. Did you know that just one really bad burn as a child doubles your risk of skin cancer later in life?! This is a terrible statistic but we, as parents, can rest in the fact that it is now easier than ever to protect our children from the sun’s wonderful but potentially dangerous rays!

More and more, dermatologists and medical professionals are recommending sun protective clothing as a first line of defense against sun damage and skin cancer. Relying on sunscreen alone can open up so many opportunities for damage if sunscreen is not applied correctly and often. UV Skinz UPF 50+ sunwear offers a one application solution that takes the guesswork out of sun protection and gives you peace of mind that you can play worry-free under the sun all day long.

Aside from keeping your child out of the sun altogether, wearing protective sunwear is, by far, the easiest way to protect your kids’ skin from the sun’s rays! Sure, sunscreen is made to protect as well, but I am always worried about how well it goes on, if it is still working, when do I need to reapply, etc.. But that might just be me, who knows.. When I throw on the boys’ sunwear shirts and shorts, I am comfortable knowing that the majority of their body is covered. I still put sunscreen on the parts that are not covered, like faces and legs/feet, but this smaller amount of skin is easier for me to worry about and keep protected (and reapply, reapply, reapply)!

UV Skinz are unique and adorable protective sunwear suits that make being in the sunshine safe and fun for everyone!

The Silly Fish 3-piece set Eli received from UV Skinz was even cuter in person! There are so many things I love about the set but mainly, I love that Eli loves it, too! He will gladly wear (and even ask to wear) all three pieces, including the hat! Score one for UV Skinz! I love the silky-soft feel of the shirt as well as the large neck hole, for my son’s big head.. I also like the built-in liner in the shorts. Eli still wears a diaper under his swim shorts but hopefully in a few months, he’ll be able to go commando in these and still feel like he’s wearing undies underneath. The bucket hat that Eli loves so much is reversible, although he only likes to wear it fish-side out to show off the ‘slippery fish’, as he calls them..!

Did you know that more than 90% of skin cancer is caused by sun exposure?

The UV rays of the sun are responsible for non-melanoma skin cancers. Unprotected exposure to these rays can be from being outdoors, tanning booths, and even through your car or home windows.

I firmly believe that the best purchase to make for your children during the summer (or anytime during the year, for that matter!) are some protective sunwear clothes! UV Skinz carries the cutest prints I have seen and have prices that can’t be beat! You can find items for everyone in your family, from baby and kids to teens and even mom and dad!
