A good alternative to slathering on sunscreen and having sand stick all over you is to wear SPF clothing, that you can purchase online at Island Surf with island surf promo code. One of my kids is a 5-year-old feisty redhead and protecting her light freckled skin from the rays is a priority.

The most convenient way for us to do this is for her to wear a rashguard or a full-body bathing suit with a high SPF. She can zip it up herself and there are no struggles or complaints about applying or not applying any kind of sunscreen, which kids usually do not enjoy. I do slather some sunscreen on her face, feet forearms and shins, don a hat and she is good to have some fun in the sun.

I also wear a rashguard frequently because I live in the Sunshine State and no matter how much sunscreen I apply, I know that chest, shoulders and arms are all easy targets for the harmful effects of the sun. This way I can enjoy time swimming in the ocean and playing with my daughters in the pool, without fear of sunspots, premature ageing or even skin cancer.

My younger sister had malignant melanoma a couple of years ago, which she was lucky to catch in the early stages, and this has made both of us a lot more aware of the real dangers of too much sun.

Island Surf also carries protective eyewear, that is also vital year round but especially so in summer. Flip-flops, sundresses, totes and are also available in this online store that will fill your summer needs. You can get discount by using our island surf coupons.
