Have Your Best Summer Ever with Banana Boat!

I participated in an Ambassador Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Banana Boat® Sun Care. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.

Can you believe how fast this summer is going?! Shane’s preschool let out late and his last day of school wasn’t until June 11th. He’s had three weeks off since then, and of those weeks, he was sick for one of them & I was sick for another. The poor kid’s summer hasn’t even really begun and it’s already almost halfway over!

While we don’t have a family vacation planned for this year, we’re still trying to have a great summer! I mentioned the other day that Shane’s taking a class at Gymboree and has been enjoying the pool- in addition to those, we’re going to start checking out some events at the library and at an indoor playspace here in town. We’ll probably hit the park sometimes, too, but it’s just too hot to go there before 7pm!

Wherever we go this summer, we’re making sure to be protective of our skin by using Banana Boat sunscreen. Just one bad sunburn as a kid can increase your risk of skin cancer, so I always make sure that the kids are covered if we’re going to be outside at all. I even make sure to cover Zac’s scalp, since he doesn’t have much hair and of course, the sun will be beating right down onto his little head.

The kids aren’t the only ones that get covered! Justin’s been using Banana Boat Triple Defense Sunscreen for Men. It’s the first Banana Boat sunscreen designed specifically for men, and their answer to a pretty scary statistic: in 2012, The Skin Cancer Foundation revealed that men over 50 are more than twice as likely as women to develop skin cancer, yet only 51% of men surveyed had worn sunscreen in the last 12 months! {I can totally believe it, too, because Justin would totally go without if I didn’t nag him about it so much.}

The Triple Defense for Men sunscreen contains ActiveProtect Technology, provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection, hydrates the skin, and combats odor- even while sweating. Justin likes to play basketball with his friends sometimes but doesn’t want to smell like sunscreen, so finding this sunscreen has been great! I love the smell of it- it is very manly but not too strong. Banana Boat Triple Defense Sunscreen for Men Lotion and Clear UltraMist is available in SPF 30 & SPF 50+.
