I received a sample for this review/feature. Opinions expressed are my own.
Skin cancer and sun protection are one of those things that I am passionate about. I had basal cell skin cancer on my face when I was 19 and being a blonde hair, blue-eyed girl living in Florida just walking around I knew that I was in danger. Ever since then I have been much more pro-active in protecting myself. Now that I have 2 little girls with the same blonde hair and blue eyes I am extra careful to protect them the best I can. We are out on the water a lot and of course I use sunscreen on them but time can slip by me when we are out having fun and I can forget to reapply. With Sunscreen Bands I now have a constant reminder right on my daughter’s wrist to remind me when it is time to reapply the sunscreen.
Their patented color-changing technology monitors UVA
& UVB exposure to remind you when to reapply sunscreen and when to get out of the sun for the day. It is lightweight, cute and easy to use. You can use any type of sunscreen spf 15 or higher whether it is a cream, spray or lotion.
Sunscreen is applied TO THE BAND in addition to the skin for accurate monitoring according to your SPF level. Band color fades as a reminder to reapply throughout the day. If/When
Band reaches a creme color, you have reached your maximum recommended
exposure for one day & should cover up or get out of the sun. There is no time or heat element as it solely measures UVA & UVB sun exposure. The best part is that these are waterproof for both salt water and chlorine.

My 5 year old swimmer had no problem wearing it and it never fell off no matter how many dives or cannonballs she did. Here is a pic of it right before I put sunscreen on it so it is bright purple.
Sunscreen Bands are now available nationwide at CVS, Walmart, Toys R Us/ Babies R Us, Amazon and more. They have also partnered with The National Shade Foundation and are endorsed by Parent Tested Parent Approved,
National Parenting Center and The Personal Care Products Counsel. They are working not only to promote Sunscreen Bands, but to advocate for sun safety and educate about skin cancer. Skin cancer is 90% preventable and there is no better time than now to be smarter in the sun. These are great at the beach, poolside or even on day trips to a zoo or theme park when you are going to be outside all day long.
