Check out these great reviews of UV Skinz products:
“I know it’s “winter time” but here in South Florida it’s never really winter. And we swim most of the year. My son has always worn a shirt while swimming. I’m not sure if he’s self conscious about his body or just prefers a shirt.”
“UV Skinz generously let me choose an item from their site to review, so I chose their Short Sleeved Devin in Navy for bug (pictured). I love that I was able to match this UV Skinz shirt perfectly to his swim suit because they have so many colors and designs to choose from.”
“I’ve recently been reading other blog reviews about UV Skinz clothing but didn’t realize how great the clothing actually is until being sent an outfit for my daughter a few weeks ago. I’m completely hooked now and tell everyone I know about the company!”
“UV Skinz started up after Rhonda’s husband Darren passed away after a 5 year battle with malignant melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Rhonda decided she wanted to make a difference and she can. She doesn’t want more families to have to go through what she and her family did.”
“The whole idea of UV clothing was new to me until I had my son. He was just 7 months old for his first summer and I felt terribly uncomfortable putting sunscreen on him and at the time didn’t entirely trust the natural alternatives {I do now though!}.”
“During the summer in Southern California there are a few things Hollywood Moms can’t get enough of: Rocking Beach Wear, Serious Sun Protection and an amazing Love Story. For all these reasons, UV Skinz tops and shorts are at the top of the Hollywood Mom Blog’s Must-Haves List for summer.”
“Rhonda Sparks lost her husband, Darren, to melanoma when he was only 32 years old. Armed with the passion of protecting their three young sons from skin cancer, Rhonda sought out clothing that would provide UV protection. This led her to start UV Skinz.”
“Since we travel often into tropical climates, I take UV protection very seriously. It didn’t take me long to realize that it is often quite difficult and time consuming to put sunscreen on a toddler and preschooler every time they want to go outside, so now I am a big fan of UV protective clothing…”
“Your kids should not be unprotected from the sun’s harmful rays. Check out my little Sam, he’s 2 and he’s having so much fun in the sun with his UV Skins shirt! No more sunburns. No more crying from blistering, painful skin. He’s 100% protected while looking so cute too!…(read more)”

“I’m a redhead with super fair skin. I look at the sun and burn (ok maybe not that bad, but let’s just say I’ve never had a tan). My kids were lucky enough to receive the same fair skin.

Ok so I find that sun screen plus Heliocare sun care I find it will diminish the brown freckles or age spots over a period of time off of my face. I can already see a difference. Also I read up on “kiwi drug” about the combination on sun pills and sun screen how great the two work together for over all protection
