Hi! I’m Robyn, and I have the privilege of being a guest blogger here at Travel
and Treats! I am a stay at home mom of three and live in Northern Virginia with
my husband and kids. My passions are moms, parenting, “being in the know,”
and sharing my Tales, Tips, & Tricks of the Trade on my blog:
www.momthemagnificent.com. I love networking, encouraging, inspiring, and
just laughing with other women who can relate. I am excited to share the summer
with Travel and Treats and of course, all of you readers!
With summer right around the corner and a high of 89 degrees in NOVA this
week, I thought sunscreen would be a great way to kick off my residency! I have
included my top 3 sunscreens that work best for my family and that I highly
recommend. I have one child that easily burns, two who never do, and three who
hate applying it! So I base my decision on which lasts the longest, is easiest to
apply, and of course the SPF.
California Baby No Fragrance
* SPF 30+
* Very gentle on skin
* Web MD’s Expert’s Choice Award
*No fragrance, non-chemical sunscreen, PABA Free
*Creamy, easily rubs on, goes a long way
* Scatters & reflects UV rays
* Contains organic & sustainably grown ingredients
* Non-whitening, non-penetrating titanium dioxide
Coppertone Water Babies Foaming Lotion
* SPF 75+
* #1 Pediatrician Recommended
* Water resistant up to 80 Minutes
* Very easy to apply
* Gentle, non-irritating formula
* Hypoallergenic
* Great for sensitive skin
Banana Boat Kids Continuous Spray
* SPF 50+
* Water-resistant for up to 80 minutes
* Fast application
* Tear-free and alcohol-free; won’t sting eyes
* Twist ‘n Lock Spray – no cap!
* Hypoallergenic formula
* Recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation
Based on the above criteria, these are my family’s go-to and we keep all three on
hand in our pool bag/car all summer long! In addition to the sprays and rub on
lotions, I do recommend a stick version for kids. All of these brands make one
and it is so easy to get the tricky spots (especially the face)! I recommend trying a
few brands to find what best suits you and your family’s needs. All three brands
are available at Target. Whatever you do, wear it and re-apply it all through the
summer. Protect that magnificent skin! I would love to know what your go-to
sunscreen is!
