Wordless Wednesday

Photo_sub_4

Such a cutie! Thanks again to A Psych Mommy for letting us borrow her adorable son for Wordless Wednesday! She has spotlighted UV Skinz and brings up some good facts about where and when you can actually wear your UV Skinz–which is pretty much everywhere! Even on cloudy days, sunny days, to the park, beach, zoo, and any outdoor activity were you would be exposed to the sun for more than 2 hours. The uv protection is woven right into the fabric to give you sun protection that never washes off and that is chemical-free.

UV Skinz swim shirts are made of a nylon and spandex combination that makes the material extra smooth and soft. Babies, children and even adults love to wear them because they are just so comfortable!

A Psych Mommy is also giving her readers (and you)a chance to win a UV Skinz item of your choice during her Travel Spotlight Giveaway event. Go and check it out!

Join our May “I Saved a Baby’s Skin Today!” Campaign

may-vertical-banner

In honor of Skin Cancer Awareness Month, UV Skinz is promoting awareness of sun protection and skin cancer prevention by donating up to 3000 Baby Skinz swim shirts; UV Skinz will ship a free Baby Skinz swim shirt with every order placed in May.

“The intent is for customers to ‘pay it forward,’” says Rhonda Sparks. “We hope clients will donate the Baby Skinz to a charitable cause of their choice such as a women’s shelter, YMCA or even a neighbor in need. We want to get as many children covered as we can and with each donation, we hope to raise the level of awareness that much more.” Each May shipment will contain a free UV Baby Skinz along with a flyer encouraging customers to pass along the Baby Skinz to a chosen cause. UV Skinz was able to give away about 1,850 swim shirts for the May 2008 Skin Cancer Awareness promotion. The company’s goal this year is to nearly double that as supplies allow.

Babies under age six months should not be in the sun at all. Most pediatricians recommend no direct sunlight exposure for infants within the first few years. However, most infants older than six months regularly spend some time outdoors, even if just for walks in a stroller, and should be sun protected from head to toe. Protecting babies’ skin, regardless of the season, is essential to good skin health and safe sun exposure into adulthood.

The National Cancer Institute reports that many common cancer rates are falling, but melanoma rates within the U.S. continue to grow at an alarming rate. Sparks implores parents to cover their children to prevent them from becoming the one in five Americans who will develop skin cancer. “I am doing all that I can to protect my children from suffering the same fate their Father suffered when we lost him to melanoma. I hope our Baby Skinz donation program will prevent more families from being impacted by this devastating disease.”

An important part of skin cancer prevention is creating awareness. Creating awareness is all about saving our children’s lives in the future. Over 90% of skin cancers are preventable with the right education and awareness.

What are UV Skinz?

The company was established after Rhonda Sparks, the Founder and President, lost her husband to skin cancer when he was just 32 years old in 2001. This sparked Rhonda's passion to raise awareness and educate others about sun protection, but never losing sight of how valuable it is to PLAY and HAVE FUN outdoors!
UV Skinz sun protective swim shirts are stylish and carry a UPF rating of 50+, which blocks out over 98% of the sun’s harmful rays, protecting delicate skin from damaging sunburns.
Everyone should feel free in the sun wearing UV Skinz. Its UV protection never washes off and it won't leave you with sunblock all over your hands as your naked toddler runs down the hall!
As a Mom and loyal UV Skinz customer, I love to hear your thoughts, comments, suggestions and questions! Just email me at kalisha(at)uvskinz(dot)com
