Everyday Sunscreens
As Australians, we all know Slip Slop Slap, we have all owned fluro zinc at some point and we all know the inherent danger of sunbaking. But what about encouraging our tweens to wear sunscreen every day? Even when it’s rainy, even when overcast, even when we don’t ‘plan’ to go outside?
We all know the excuses, ‘sunscreen is oily’ ‘sunscreen makes my skin a weird white colour’ or even ‘I just can’t be bothered’.
Luckily, a whole new range of suncreens have hit the market designed to combat the above, and what’s more, they are designed to wear everyday – some mattifying, some for different skin types and even some to wear under makeup.
So now it can be part of every tween’s morning routine…get up, get dressed, put on deodorant, brush your teeth/hair and put on sunscreen. Trust us, future them will be very thankful!
