When it comes to sunwear, you have visit UVSkinz and hear the story of Rhonda Sparks, her family and her passion for protecting everyone’s skin from harmful sun rays. I’m thrilled to once again feature UVSkinz sun shirts and shorts (provided at no charge to me) here on the blog!
Rhonda, the owner and founder of UVSkinz is personally invested in ensuring the importance of sun protection is not marginalized. Here’s some facts for you:
- 95% of skin cancer is preventable!
- 1 in 5 Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime!
- Sunburn in children doubles their risk of skin cancer as an adult!
With the easy to wear styles from UVSkinz, there’s no excuse for not protecting myself and my children from the sun’s harmful rays. It’s amazing how fast sunburn can set in! The other day I sent my toddler outside to help Daddy in the garden… it was after 2 pm and he was only out for about twenty minutes, but he got a light pink on his cheeks and ears already! Not good. Now I keep his sunhat and sunglasses by the door for even quick trips outside!
I was thankful to have UVSkinz tops, bottoms and hats for our trip to Florida a few weeks ago. The sun is intense down there to say the least! But our boys were covered stem to stern!
UVSkinz has added delightful new products to their line this year (and a lovely new website). My favorite new item is this beach hoodie in orange or blue (for men too – and I’m begging this style be made for women, although the women’s line does have a cute hoodie as well!). It’s lightweight and breathable… and super adorable! (And there’s a secret friend tucked into the kangaroo pocket!).
You’ll find you’re not using up tons of sunscreen on your kids, because the coverage provided by UVSkinz sunwear is great! You won’t have “missed spots” or “under-application” issues. Plus, UVSkinz are chlorine-resistant!
