The sun is starting to shine bright and the warm summer months are upon us! We can't wait for more sunshine is our FIT4MOM Burleson-Crowley classes!

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation sunscreen should be applied daily whether a warm summer month or not. Read more about the Skin Cancer Foundation’s recommendations for sunscreen here. Remember to check with a pediatrician on age to begin applying sunscreen. Today we are talking about personal favorite sunscreen products for babies and mama!

Little one younger than 6 months? Check out SPF rash guards, hats, etc! Target, Hannah Anderssen, and many other stores carry great options! Pediatricians and the back of sunscreen bottles remind us that the safest practice is to not apply sunscreen to babies under 6 months of age. Keep babies covered up with light clothing, hats, sunglasses, SPF wear, etc.

The sunscreens listed below are mineral sunscreens. Each is non toxic, free from oxybenzone, to be safe for coral reefs and the skin.

Amy’s personal favorite for the entire family is Beautycounter sunscreen. The sunscreen is 30 SPF, can be used 6 months and up, and is non toxic. The application is smooth, goes on clear, and works great. For more information on a correct SPF visit the EWG. The higher the SPF does not always provide more protection. Order Beautycounter sunscreen for the whole family here.

Thinkskin is another great brand of sunscreen safe for the entire family. Visit the Thinkskin sunscreen website here.

Badger mineral sunscreen is another great choice for sunscreen for babies and mama. Check out sunscreen here.

Be sure to check out how often to reapply sunscreen. Amy’s family tries to apply it before leaving the house to get the best protection. Need more tips for finding sunscreen? Check out this for EWG!
