It’s starting to warm up here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Shorts and T-shirts have been coming out, people are out biking and running, and kids are already playing in pools. As we gear up to spending more time outdoors under that California sun, it’s also time to start stocking up on the sun protection.<\/p>\n
UV damage affects those of all complexions but after seeing what it\u00a0can do to my very light European husband<\/a>, I prefer to stay on the safe side when it comes protecting our skin. You may be anxious to get some color in that winter-faded skin of yours but don’t risk the sun damage!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here are five tips to keep in mind when enjoying that springtime weather:<\/p>\n If you do happen to get sunburned, make sure to use Aloe Vera gel to cool the skin and keep moisturized to lessen peeling.<\/p>\n Sadly, if you’ve ever had to shop any of the sun protection items, much of that SPF goodness comes at a price. Fortunately, CVS Brand products have you covered. You can now get several products with ingredients and formulas comparable to top name brands, but at a lower price. Same quality\u00a0for less? Yes, please! After seeing some samples in my living room,\u00a0one of my sisters even said, “I didn’t know CVS carried these.\u00a0Let me know how you like them.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When I visited\u00a0our local CVS store to scope out the selection, I was blown away.\u00a0They had everything from lotions and sprays, to products for kids and sensitive skin. The CVS Brand products<\/a> were displayed right next to the branded equivalent items from Neutrogena, Banana Boat, and Coppertone. The packaging even looked similar. This made it super easy to compare the ingredients and the prices.<\/p>\n As you can see, the formula of the CVS Brand products is almost the same as the Neutrogena lotion we normally use.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So, before you head out in your springtime garb, make sure you have all the sun protection you need. With the increase in skin cancer cases,\u00a0no tan is worth the risk. Plus, CVS is ready to help you get all your healthy springtime essentials for less.<\/p>\n Brand links:<\/p>\n Disclosure: I\u2019m proud to partner with CVS\/pharmacy for this springtime campaign.
