May is skin cancer awareness month, and today is known as #MelanomaMonday. Being a Floridian, I can’t escape the sun, and honestly – I don’t want to! I love the sun and that salty gulf coast air. But I want to be safe about it. I also wouldn’t mind having fewer wrinkles and skin damage in general! I love our home, and living outdoors with my boys. Whether it’s on the boat, at the beach, at a tee ball game, or my parents pool. We slather it on and slather it on some more.
Yikes! So to go a step beyond my sunscreen routine, I love wearing Cabana Life, which has the cutest UPF clothing and swimsuits. I wore this style rashguard before, during, and after my pregnancy with wes. If I’m going to be at the beach or pool for an extended period of time, I always wear a rash guard, or throw on one of my cabana life tunics. I love knowing that I’m protected with their UPF clothing, and I don’t have to worry about making sure my back is fully covered. It’s kinda hard to get sunscreen on your back when your solo at the beach with your kids!
Since I am wearing sunscreen year round, I get questions about sunscreen quite a bit. I have been a Supergoop fan for.ever. Well, at least for the last five years since I discovered it. For my sister’s bachelorette in Miami, I made sure all the girls had sunscreen in their goodie bags. When we spent all day on the boat, I was spritzing this rosemary refresh setting mist on myself and anybody that would let me. My mom was showing (: If you want to learn more about chemical vs mineral sunscreen, how to avoid skin cancer, and find out which sunscreen is best for you – the sun 101 on Supergoop. wear this unseen sunscreen every single day. I always hated putting sunscreen on my face due to the feel of it – well this feels amazing. Since I don’t wear make up most days, this gives me a little dewy-ness. It also helps my make up go on well if I’m putting that on. I put on this supergoop body butter everywhere else. It’s so hydrating! I love their lipgloss too that has SPF in it.
For the boys, I usually use the mousse and the stick on their faces. We also try to always have a UPF rash guard on them. Wes fights this sometimes, and Tuck won’t not wear one. We always bring an umbrella to the beach, and try to stay under a cabana if we are by the pool and not in it. I love the little baseball hats from Honey Bee Tees (you can get 10% off with code TUCKER10 if you are a first time customer).
Other ways I protect myself is through sunglasses – I have super sensitive eyes, and am especially sensitive to bright lights (that is a migraine trigger for me) so I am never without sunglasses. I love wearing a baseball cap, or a straw hat for extra protection too.
For this month, Cabana Life is letting you give your friends $20 of Cabana Life credit – and you can take $20 off your order with code ISPREADSUNSHINE ! Cheers to keeping yourself and your family safe this summer!!
Am I missing something? Is there something I should definitely be doing to keep myself and my kids safe? I’d love to hear other ways how you keep yourself and your fam safe in the sun.
