Every Gardener Needs a Sun Bum #suncare #gardening
Skin caner is no laughing matter and gardeners are extremely susceptible due to spending oodles of time in the sun tending to our plants.  Thanks to Sun Bum, I’m keeping my skin protected this spring and summer and sharing my thoughts with you. 

 

Even though it looks like winter may never go away, spring really is right around the corner (promise!)  Soon we’ll be planting rows of lovely produce and admiring how our beauties thrive in sunlight.

Along with our delight of spring gardening comes the need for protection for you skin from the sun.  Bottom line: keeping your skin healthy is important, and while having a tan from your outdoor activities looks great, it’s detrimental to your skin health.

Wearing sunscreen is the number one way to keep the sun’s rays from damaging your skin, without sacrificing comfort in your wardrobe selection.  Sun Bum Sun Care has plenty of great sunscreen options for every gardener, from the small garden buff who spends a little time each day tending to plants to the hobby farmer who spends all day in the sun, tending to crops.

Sun Bum offers a range of SPF 15 to SPF 70, as well as aloe sprays, zinc oxide, lip balms,face sticks, and baby sunscreens, adult sunscreen sprays and lotions.

The continuous sprays are a hardy gardener’s friend, water resistant for up to 80 minutes, giving you more than enough time to plant without worrying about sweat or watering interfering with your protection.  (Also fabulous to use for summer swim days when you are playing hooky from your gardening tasks!)  Easy to use, Sun Bum Continuous Spray Sunscreen protects you skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays while nourishing your skin with Vitamin E, keeping your skin looking young and beautiful.

Sun Bum is dedicated to bringing quality, safety and great performance from their sunscreens. Their sunscreens provide an “invisible feel” without leaving the greasy residue that some sunscreens leave behind.  They’re also Paraben-free, oil-free, hypoallergenic and they smell great (like a tropical paradise!)

    I need to try this since it has an “invisible feel”. My son doesn’t like sunscreen that is greasy, so this sounds really nice. I may be able to get him to happily use this!

    I like the invisible feel too. The last sunscreen I used was awful! It made me greasy and left big white streaks. Not attractive! I got burned too.

    I’ll have to try this. I’m always looking for good lotion because of the Florida sun.
