Minimizing Worries and Maximizing Fun in the Sun with UV Skinz

As a mother, I am constantly worried about my little ones’ safety while they play outside, not only from normal injuries, but also from damage caused by the sun. Therefore, it is very important to protect not only them, but also the whole family from the harmful UV rays of the sun. Applying sunscreen has become a ritual when it comes to the members of my family, be it for swimming, playing outside or even just a normal daily activity as going to the shop. However, even though it protects them, I still find it to be a worrisome method as I still constantly worry if I applied it thoroughly enough or about when I have to reapply it again. In addition, it also hampers my little ones’ playtime.

Lucky for me and all other parents UV Skinz came up with the answer to put our minds at ease. The company specialises in sun protective clothing, not only for your little ones, but also for the whole family (from sizes as small as 3mo to even 4XL). What makes their line of Sunwear different from lines that other brands offer is that they specifically focus on UV protective clothing, whereas other brands tend to add it as an afterthought. In addition, they can also legally boast that their clothing is UPF 50+ certified Sunwear, protecting the whole family of 98% of the sun’s UVA and UVB rays.

The CEO, Rhonda, started UV Skinz, after losing her husband Darren to melanoma at the age of 32. Even though it began because of tragedy, she built it with passion, trying to protect others from the dangers of the sun by providing them with better protection. I received some of their products to put to the test, a girl’s long sleeve sun and swim shirt in pink/orange, a boy’s reversible bucket hat, boy’s short sleeve sun and swim shirt and boy’s board shorts – all with a whale traffic design.

At first, I was a bit worried that I would have some trouble convincing my little ones to wear this UV protective clothing when they play outside, but was surprised that it did not take a lot of convincing. I must admit they did give me a bit of a are you serious kind of look when I told them, but when I mentioned that this would mean less time spending applying sunscreen they were hooked. In addition, when they put on the clothes and saw the wonderful designs, they just smiled.

I was quite impressed with their sun protective clothing as it was soft to the touch and quick drying. All of the items were also a snug fit, which allowed my little ones to move around comfortably while playing without being bothered by scratchy fabric. Another thing that impresses me about their sunwear is that it is chlorine and salt water resistant, not only protecting them from the sun but also harsh chemicals at the same time. What also makes this UPF clothing a wonderful buy is that it is not only swimwear, but also something they can wear while they play outside – giving them protection all the time.

UV Skinz’ sun protection clothing really impressed me and I will recommend it to anyone. Do yourself a favour and have a look at it, as there is something for everyone, big or small. I promise you, your children will be happy being able to play without sunscreen application breaks; I still use sunscreen, but only to cover the small areas that the clothing does not cover. I am happy with it as it offers my children protection and comfort, but mainly because my children also love it.
