Mineral-based sunscreen advice - the benefits of using sunscreen sticks

There’s no doubt that parents everywhere are keen to encourage their children to get outside to play, exercise and get some fresh air. However, it’s the same parental conscience that then leads to concerns about protection against the sun, but that’s where mineral sunscreen sticks come in handy.

But what are they? Why do you need both a lotion and a sunscreen stick? In this blog we look at the advantages of using sunscreen sticks and when to use them.

Sunscreen Sticks Are Fun to Use for Kids

While there is no actual UV protection difference between sunscreen sticks and the tube and bottle varieties of mineral-based sunscreen lotions, there are some practical differences that make it easier to get children interested in using them. Firstly, using sunscreen sticks is quite a bit like using crayons and face paint, so you can turn the application of sunscreen into a game.

Sunscreen sticks also allow children to more easily apply their own sun protection, which is a great way to get them used to taking care of it themselves. Do this on a regular basis and you’ll instill behaviors that will stay with them for a lifetime.

Sunscreen Sticks Make Application Nice and Quick

Anyone with children will know that getting young kids to stand still while you apply mineral-based sunscreen lotion can be a tricky task. Their eagerness to go out and play can easily lead to you forgetting areas that can then end up getting burnt. Sunscreen sticks, however, make the application of sunscreen nice and easy. Just roll on to the skin and rub in. There are no drips and a sunscreen stick can be more easily applied around the face.

Sunscreen Sticks Are Easy to Apply All Year Round

The threat of UV rays is present all year round, even on cloudy days. UV rays don’t take a vacation on foggy or cloudy days. That’s why it’s important to use sunscreen year-round and prevent the effects of sun damage. Sunscreen sticks make this daily task easy for the whole family. They’re compact and portable so you can keep one in your bag for easy access, so you stay prepared.

Super Handy Sunscreen Sticks

Look for a  comprehensive range of mineral-based sunscreen products that are suitable for people of all ages and skin types. Mineral-based sunscreen sticks are the perfect way to keep yourself and your children protected against broad spectrum UV rays all year round. Look for products that are dermatologist and pediatrician recommended.

Sunscreen sticks are fun, quick and easy to apply all year round. Purchase some handy sunscreen sticks for yourself, or for your family.
