It’s always hard to predict how strong the sun is. With my boys I don’t like to guess. Especially my youngest. You see my oldest has the Portuguese skin from his Daddy that hardly ever burns and he ends up with this tan that makes you jealous. However, my little one has my pale pale skin that burns instantly. We have upped him recently to a 70 block because he was burning with a 50!
We love the outdoors in the summer time. Most of our activities are outside. We enjoy going for bike rides, spending days on the boat docking by a beach, and hanging out in our back yard. Even when it’s cloudy the sun is there we just aren’t as tuned in. The SunMate UV Monitor is great for this. Its small enough to go everywhere with you. I often just leave it on the stroller tray. With just the push of a button you can know just how severe the sun is at that moment.
Depending on where you live the sun can have much different effects. My son that never burns – burned on our Disney vacation. We went from a 7-8 risk all the way up to an 11-12 risk! I had kept our sunscreen levels the same. My oldest only wore a 30 block that day. Had I checked my SunMate that day BEFORE I applied it I would have realized how much higher the level was. At home our levels remain at around 1-3. The highest I saw was a level 4 but I bet had I brought it with me instead of leaving it in the hotel room it would have hit a level 5!
Our skin is so sensitive and we really need to take all the steps we can to protect it. The SunMate is a great tool to help keep you informed at how the sun’s ray’s will be effecting us at that moment. Oh! I should also mention that this awesome device won “Best Beach Tech” from Shape Magazine in May 2009! You can purchase one for your family to use for just $19.95.
