    Protect yourself and your mini-me’s from the harsh rays of the sun and the drying cold weather

    Spending the day at the beach? Maybe just outdoors. Spending any amount of time outside means you should likely be wearing at least some amount of sun protection. It can be hard to find sunscreen that is safe for your little ones (not to mention the planet!) so we wanted to draw your attention to some recent discoveries. We all know by now that using sunblock is one of the best and easiest ways to protect your skin from sunburn, cancer, premature aging, and quite a few other problems. From babyhood on up- don’t forget the sunscreen.

    According to Johns Hopkins, you should use it daily. For your “day-to-day use, pick a sunscreen with sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30. If you spend time outdoors, choose a product with SPF 60 or greater. In reality, most people do not use as much sunscreen as they should, and this higher SPF helps compensate. To protect your face, neck, arms and legs, you’ll need about 1 ounce of sunscreen. Squeezed into your hand, 1 ounce of sunscreen is enough to completely cover your palm. So long as the sunscreen is at least SPF 30, water-resistant, broad-spectrum and applied about 15 minutes before going outside, it doesn’t matter in what order you apply your skincare products. Some people find it’s easiest to work with bare skin — before makeup or moisturizer have been added. Find what works best for your routine.”

    Even in the winter, your baby’s skin needs protection from the harmful UV rays the sun emits. Make it a habit to apply sunscreen daily to your little ones to prevent sun damage to their sensitive skin and reduce their chances of getting skin cancer later in life.

    Committed to using certified organic fruit and vegetable-based ingredients, Earth Baby’s products are non-toxic, gentle, and effective on baby skin, hair, and body. It doesn’t feel greasy when you put it on, or leave a lingering slippery feeling. It has no unpleasant odor. It is safe for the ocean, and cruelty free. Crafted in a reef-friendly formulation using non-nano Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, Earth Baby sunscreen makes the great outdoors safer giving the best possible protection against harmful UVA/UVB rays.

    Dr. Motion is a division of Soxland International. Soxland was founded in 1986 in New York City by Frank Chang, who grew up in a small sock manufacturing town in Taiwan. They have specialized in all things hosiery for over 30 years. You name it, they have probably made it.

    Compression socks are most widely known for their athletic benefits such as enhanced performance, expedited recovery, and medical uses, such as treatment of varicose veins, spider veins, and lymphedema. Often, these compression socks are extremely tight (20mmHg+) and uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. Dr. Motion created their knee-high compression socks for women and men to feature a mild compression level (8-15mmHg) which make them extremely comfortable to wear all day, every day. They are perfect for nurses, expecting mothers, teachers, travelers, athletes, service industry professionals, adventurers, those who sit all day, those who stand all day, etc. Basically, it’s great for everyone.
