. A necessary part of summer is the sun of course, but with those hot days at the beach also comes the danger of skin damage and skin cancer from the sun. The best way to fight this is with sun screen, and one of our favorites is Banana Boat®.
As every parent knows a good summer trip involves preparation. Snacks, water bottles, sunscreen, bug spray ,and a towel are just some of the necessities needed for summer fun.
One fun trip we took recently was a fishing trip to a local camping spot. The prep for this trip was simple. It was a damp morning, but it was due to clear up in the afternoon so we of course grabbed the Banana Boat® as the husband and son are super fair skinned. We also grabbed the snacks, water bottles, and hand sanitizer. Of course, in addition to hats and fishing gear. Can’t fish without that!
The day started out dreary and pouring, so it was a good thing snacks were packed. The rain cleared up, it was time for fishing so sun screen was applied and fishing commenced. As the day progressed, the rain started up again the fishing trip had to be brought to an early end around lunch time. The best part of this trip- not a spot of sun burn among any of us. My son even caught a fish! If you can call that a fish, LOL- and yes, it was put back. No one getting burned is always tricky, because my son and husband are quite pale. Of course, everyone can burn, but the lighter you are, the harder it can be. The day was a success with the little guy catching the only fish and everyone having a good time.
No matter you have planned this summer, preparation and sun screen are necessities.
Below are a few tips and tricks regarding sun screen:
Be sure to apply 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of sunscreen to you and your kids’ entire bodies 30 minutes before going outside and reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or excessive sweating.
We know family gatherings can be hosted under many different conditions-Banana Boat has some great products that offer multi-skin benefits, like water-resistance, ease of application and
comfort. For example, for families at the beach, I love their new SunComfort™ Clear UltraMist® Sunscreen it provides Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB protection and water resistance, and also
allows sand to easily brush off!
Make sunscreen application fun for kids. Make up lyrics to your own melody to sing while applying sunscreen. It keeps them engaged and makes it feel like less of a chore.
Banana Boat® sun care products are tested in seven conditions
–sun, pool water, ocean water,wind, sweat, sand and extreme heat–to provide safe and effective broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection for the entire family.

Sunscreen is a MUST for us in the summer. We go through a lot of it!
I love Banana Boat products. I am very fastidious about applying sunscreen!! This reminds me, I need to pick up some more spray sunscreen!
He looks adorable with his fish! I like the spray cans, it’s great not getting so much stuff all over your hands.
I love Banana Boat sunscreen. I’ve been using it for year. Your son looks so proud of his fish!
It’s so important to take care of your skin. I make sure everyone in the house has sunscreen on when we go outside.
