Stay protected this Labor Day with #Coppertone! #sponsored

As Labor Day is tomorrow, families are celebrating the last of the summer holidays before back-to-school season commences. Along with making travel plans and vacation itineraries, packing essentials for sunny days can be stressful.

Fortunately, year-round necessities like sun protection are now travel-friendly. Sunscreen is important for every family celebrating the upcoming holiday, but with the 3-1-1 rule for carry-on liquids established by the TSA, bringing sunscreen along can get messy.

• Coppertone’s range of travel sunscreens is perfect for the on-the-go family. For portable protection, Coppertone Travel Size Lotions are perfect for your Labor Day getaway – they can easily fit in a purse or carry-on bag for on-the-go sun protection.
• For a simple beauty regimen, Coppertone Oil Free Faces SPF 15, 30 and 50+ is a fragrance free, hypoallergenic sunscreen lotion specifically designed for the face. It helps prevent premature skin aging and won’t clog pores or cause breakouts. 
• For a conveniently quick application – Coppertone Kids Sunscreen Stick SPF 55, is designed to provide spot protection to sensitive areas such as the ears, nose, and face.

In our house even though Summer is winding down, we still use sunscreen all the time.  Just because the temperature is dropping that doesn't mean you still can not get burned!  My kids are active in sports all year, so a must in the duffel bags is a bottle or two of lotion!  Even us soccer moms sitting on the sidelines need to stay protected!

Coppertone has been a brand we trust and use since the kids were infants and still continue to use.  It has the SPFs, size, sprays, etc. to fit our lifestyles!

Coppertone recently launched it’s Making the Sunscreen Grade program which educates parents with tools and information on how to help protect their children from the sun.

Depending on where your child goes to school, the options for sun protection during recess and other outdoor activities may differ. Parents may not be aware of the information available to them on this topic.

Although you may be applying sunscreen to your child before school or family fun, ideally it should be reapplied every two hours or after swimming, sweating or towel drying during outdoor activities, to avoid potentially risking unsafe sun exposure and sunburns.

When it comes to protecting children from the sun's rays, knowledge is power. Parents, school nurses, administrators, teachers and doctors can play a key role in instilling sun-smart habits in children by becoming sun-savvy themselves.
