Keep The Sun Away

Well, it is going to be here soon enough! And I guess many people will be hitting the beach, especially teenagers! I remember when I was a teenager, my mom will always tell me to remember to leave home with a bottle of sunscreen. Well, I did leave home with it but I never used it. I did not like the icky feel on my skin!

Back then, I was not lucky enough to be able to find a sunscreen product that I like enough to use. Teenagers nowadays have this new range of sunscreen product that is NOT bottles of chemicals, thanks to Screen, Inc.

These products were created by two ladies who felt the void in the sunscreen product market and that teenagers were neglected without proper sunscreen protection for them. The good news is that even the Skin Cancer Foundation has approved these products to be safe for use on skin!

I was told that this sunscreen s as natural as could be. If you have a teenager, or two, at home, you may want to get some of these!

With all the outdoor agility we do we are always looking for ways to protect our skin. Mum uses cool coats on me to keep me cool, and keeps me out of the sun in our shade tent as much as possible. But she's out there walking courses, checking results, building courses in between our runs, so she gets exposed to the sun a lot more than I do.

Sometimes putting sunscreen on your face can be pretty yucky and greasy. So getting one that stays on, but doesn't feel like grease paint is really important to Mum. And when she is out in the wind and the sun she has to protect her lips too. Screen, Inc. has products on the market that really fit the bill and are made just for the face and lips.

Their products have been dermatologist-approved. And their have received the coveted Seal of Recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation.
