Video Review

 Review and vlog from Baby-Momma Blog:

As a mom protection is keywhen heading to the pool or at the beach.  The solar system is getting worse by the minute and the UV rays are stronger and stronger.  Knowing Isabella and I were going to be spending the weekends on the beach I was looking for a bathing suit with full coverage.  UVSkinz came to the rescue.  With UPF 50+ UV protection woven into the fabric gives me a piece of mind when Isabella is running around in the sun.  I know she is protected and after using this suit for half of the summer already, I can say we have had NO BURNS!!  I also love that there is a built-in swim liner for added protection for no need of swim bottoms or diapers.  If you insist on using a swim diaper just in case of a accident, there is plenty of room.  I use them under Isabella’s shorts and she seems to be comfortable and not bothered by them.   The fabric has a Chlorine resistant treatment for long lasting wear and has flat-lock stitching throughout the entire garment to eliminate irritating seams.  We love this suit so much we are buying a second set for the rest of the summer UVSkinz is Sealed with Approval by Baby & Momma!

Your Beach Bag Isn’t Complete Without UV Skinz

UV Skinz is stoked to be included in How to Pack the Perfect Beach Bag!  The article is very detailed including all of your essential beach items like sunscreen, eyewear, hats, towels and more!

Here is an excerpt:

Clothing

In addition to using water-resistant SPF products and applying them often, consider providing protective sun wear for everyone in the family, specifically shirts and hats.

For kids and babies, the UVSkinz brand has a broad variety of sunwear.   All have a UPF 50+ (the UPF refers to fabric instead of the SPF in lotions, sprays, etc.). The site also provides a lot of information about sun protection.

prices vary, $15.95 and up at UVskinz.com

UVSkinz also has a really chic wrap top for women. It’s actually possible to be protected and fashionable at the same time!  $36.95 at UVskinz.com

When In Doubt Cover-Up!

 Cover-up style advice from Marques G. Harper:

“…a swim cover-up, the perfect camouflage for pool-time antics, becomes your style bestie. Seriously, the cover-up, whether a lightweight dress or loose pants or a skirt, can be the quickest way to give yourself a confidence boost when you’re not in the water, and it can be an easy way to shield your skin from the brutal sun, especially if you’re spending hours in a lounge chair.

And here’s the kicker for anyone who’s always on the go. When properly accessorized, a cover-up can allow you to go from the pool to an afternoon errand or meal. Go ahead and stock your pool bag with options such as leggings, a belt, a T-shirt and jewelry for after-the-pool looks.”

 New in 2010 UV Skinz is featuring a  cover-up that offers stylish elegance and uv sun protection; The Kathy Wrap!  The Kathy Wrap comes in three colors; spunky hot pink, sleek white, and classic black.  Using the advice of Marques Harper, wear your Kathy Wrap with flowing skirt or jean shorts and your favorite strappy sandals. Mix and match, be bold, and play safe in the sun!

The Kathy Wrap is offered at UV Skinz in sizes small to 4XL! And you can still expect the same UV Skinz qualities as all of our other uv swim shirts:

 

  • 50+ UPF certified fabric (blocks out over 98% of sun’s harmful rays)
  • Elastane threading throughout (allows for more ‘stretch’)
  • Flat-lock stitching (no ‘raised’ seams to irritate skin)
  • Lightweight, breathable construction
  • Chlorine-Resistant fabric

    May 28th is “No Fry Day”!

    To help reduce the rising rates of skin cancer, the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention has designated the Friday before Memorial Day as Don’t Fry Day. The Council’s goal is to encourage sun safety awareness by reminding everyone to protect their skin while enjoying the outdoors on Don’t Fry Day and every day. As a federal advisory member of the Council, EPA will raise awareness about Don’t Fry Day and the importance of sun protection around this date.

    Last year the National Council suggested “slap on a hat” as key point in practicing sun protection, but this year they are asking everyone to use all of the action steps. Since no one alone could be effective in protecting to overexposure to uv radiation. Here are those steps. Take control and take action!

  • Avoid sun burning, intentional tanning, and using tanning beds.
  • Apply sunscreen generously.
  • Wear sun-protective clothing, wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses.
  • Seek shade.
  • Use extra caution near water, snow, and sand.
  • Get vitamin D through diet and vitamin D supplements
  •  An easy way to remember sun safety awareness is to Slip! Slop! Slap!…and Wrap — slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher, slap on a hat, and wrap on sunglasses. The best way to detect skin cancer early is to examine your skin regularly and recognize changes in moles and skin growths.
