As great as the warn and sunny days feels, the sun  can wreak havoc on your health. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in America, but not only that the sun can also cause your skin to age.

Parents can set the right example for their children by making sunscreen application part of their everyday routine. By creating this good habit early on, kids will be more likely to continue using sunscreen as they age.  Our kids know the routine and wait to go outside until they have been sprayed, rubbed, etc.
