Coppertone Archives - Jen is on a Journey

July is here, how did that happen so fast? Like me, you may be heading outdoors for family fun and time at the beach. Gear up and protect your skin first and foremost during all the outdoor festivities!

Coppertone has the perfect products for the whole family that will help families enjoy a sun safe holiday:

· For active adults, Coppertone Sport Pro Series 50+ sunscreens stay on strong and move with the skin in hot and humid weather as well as during intense exercise. My husband wears this on his head (bald) and for the back of his neck and arms while at work. We all can use this at the beach, pool, or baseball field during our warm summers! Also, the Coppertone scent is nice and just relives wonderful memories of growing up by the pool for me!

· For active kids, Coppertone Wet ‘n Clear Kids SPF 45+ simplifies reapplication. There’s no need to towel them off before reapplying and it sprays on clear. This is our favorite! I’ve got our youngest down to reapplying after about an hour and a half all by herself. No eye burning, no wasted lotion.

· For the little ones, Coppertone Water Babies Pure & Simple Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is a hypoallergenic, oil and fragrance free lotion made specifically for babies’ delicate skin. This is good back up if we don’t have the sprays. The only downside is that it leaves a white (then turns bluish) film unless you rub and rub and rub and rub it in for a long time. Reminds me a bit of diaper cream in that sense and the kids prefer the spray.

With our upcoming Maui trip, one of the most important things on our list is sunscreen and Coppertone Sport has us covered! Living in California, our family doctors suggest that we wear sunscreen every day of the year! It can’t be any different in Hawaii and with the temperatures consistently forecast at 85 degrees +, we need to make sure that we don’t damage our skin while we enjoy ourselves.

Ever since I was young and saw those Coppertone ads with the dog pulling on the little girl’s swim suit, it’s been a brand that I love and trust. Not to mention, once you apply the sunscreen, the infamous sweet scent just screams beach, pool, and summer! It’s important to protect the whole family from UV damage no matter the temperature. It’s never too early in the day to apply sunscreen. Below are a few Coppertone products with something for everyone – mom, dad and kids:

· NEW! COPPERTONE Water BABIES Sunscreen Foaming Lotion: A unique, light and airy foam innovation from the #1 pediatrician-recommended brand. The sunscreen is mild for babies’ delicate skin. Available in SPF 75+.

· NEW! COPPERTONE Water BABIES Pure & Simple 2oz: Offers sun protection that’s tear-free in an ideal size for the diaper bag. The ultra gentle formula is mild for babies’ delicate skin and won’t sting or irritate eyes.

· COPPERTONE SPORT with Replenishing Antioxidants: Helps fortify skin’s natural antioxidant defenses, which can be depleted during sun exposure, especially during physical activity. They are ultra sweatproof to help maintain protection during outdoor activities. Available in lotions SPF 30, 50, 70+ and 100+ as well as continuous sprays SPF 30, 50, 70+ and 100.

· COPPERTONE KIDS with Protective Vitamins: Contains a specially-selected antioxidant vitamin blend to supplement the natural defenses of children’s skin. Available in lotion SPF 70+ and Continuous Sprays SPF 50 and 70+.

Our Take: We were sent a supply of Coppertone Sport to use and so far we enjoy the Continuous Spray (arv: $9.99) the best. Our kids can get it on evenly themselves and it’s not an eye irritant! The sprays work at any angle and you feel complete coverage. We’ve always used SPF 50 on our kids and when I found out they had 55, 70, 85, and 100, I knew the more protection the better, and that’s what I want for our family. My parents have a swimming pool, so we’ll be all spending many days there this summer, we all want that great Coppertone protection.

I’ve been using it to get some pre-trip color, yet to keep my skin protected and it’s really doing it’s job. Reapplying is key especially when you’re in and out of the water albeit pool or ocean. We’re packing it with us for Maui and it will be on us 24-7, while we snorkle, enjoy the beach and pool, and stroll throught the towns.

My oldest daughter has very sensitive skin on her face and during P.E. during spring she tends to get sunburns easily over the delicate areas around her eyes. Coppertone Sport Faces (arv: $8.15) SPF 50 is a perfect solution to keep in her vanity or school backpack to apply when she needs it most. I’ve worn it as well under my makeup and it doesn’t leave any residue! The Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Stick (arv: $5.49) is portable, and great for kids’ backpacks, purses, or to keep in the car for those unexpected times when your caught outdoors unprotected. It’s great for spot areas like ears, nose, and face.

You can find Coppertone nationwide at food, drug, mass, and internet retailers.
