Sun Tip Tuesday: Water Resistance (and a giveaway!)

I love being a Coppertone Water Mom! You can read about it here.

Every Tuesday, I'm sharing a "Sun Tip" to help you help your families stay protected from the sun.

Be sure that you choose a sunscreen that is water resistant. Due to new FDA regulations manufacturer's can no longer claim a sunscreen is "waterproof", but water resistant, and the bottle must clearly state how long it will remain water resistant once applied. Of course, it's always a good idea to reapply your sunscreen after you've been swimming or have toweled off.

I have a bottle of New Coppertone Wet n' Clear Sunscreen Continuous Spray with your name on it! Simply leave a comment on this post to be entered to win. It sprays clear on wet skin, has a broad spectrum SPF of 45+ and it water resistant up to 80 minutes.

Contest ends next Tuesday, May 29th at noon EST.

Don't forget about the Little Miss Coppertone Contest...and be sure like Coppertone on Facebook as well!!!

Sun Tip Tuesday: 15 Before

I'm a Coppertone Water Mom!

We've all done it. You've been sitting at the park, in the backyard or anywhere outdoors for half an hour and suddenly it occurs to you that the kids need sunscreen on. The time to apply sunscreen is BEFORE you're going to be exposed to the sun, 15 minutes before to be exact.

Check back next Tuesday for another Sun Tip and a chance to win a little somethin'- somethin'! :)

Coppertone Water Mom's Sun Tip Tuesday: Broad Spectrum

I'm really excited to be a Coppertone Water Mom!

Part of my job as a Coppertone Water Mom is to help other Moms learn to safely embrace the sun and understand the importance of sun care protection. I'll be sharing a weekly "sun tip" every here on my blog every Tuesday.

This week's Sun Tip is...

Choosing the best sunscreen for your family is a little more involved than simply grabbing the least expensive option on the shelf. New FDA rules mandate that manufacturer's must state whether a sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB rays (many don't, fyi). You want a sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 50 and one that is labeled "broad spectrum", meaning it protects against both types of rays.

I'm a Coppertone Water Mom!

I'm super excited to have been selected as a Coppertone Water Mom! Part of my job as a Coppertone Water Mom is to help other Moms learn to safely embrace the sun and understand the importance of sun care protection.

I have a clear recollection of the pink bottle and the iconic Coppertone Girl (with her little dog pulling down her bathing suit bottom) from my childhood and I trust Coppertone to protect my babies from the harmful rays of the sun, just like my own mother did.

Mom and I aren't the only ones who love and trust Coppertone..Coppertone is the #1 pediatrician recommended brand for sun protection.

My Coppertone Water Moms Welcome Kit has arrived! Here's a peak at some of the goodies:
