I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Banana Boat. I received product samples and promotional items as a thank you for participating.
Sunscreen. I seriously believe there are too many people who do not realize the importance of it. It’s true the sun’s rays are a source of vitamin D and they feel good warming our skin. But they can also harm our skin to the point of causing cancer. I was a sun worshiper as a teen and young adult. (You know, during those years when I knew more than anyone else including the medical profession!) I laid in the sun using expensive creams and gels without SPF. Now, years later, I’m reaping the repercussions of my care-free days in the sun. And I have regrets. I wish I hadn’t been so concerned with my suntan and had paid more attention to the warnings about the harmful effect of too much sun. I then got in the habit of using a face moisturizer in the morning that contains sunscreen. If only I had been sun safe with Banana Boat sunscreen!
Just now I’m getting ready to take the 2 block walk to pick up my grandkids from school. But first I’ll apply Banana Boat Protect & Hydrate Sunscreen Lotion . I love it! In fact I’m over the moon for it! It’s a new lightweight 2-in-1 sunscreen with moisturizer lotion! I have very dry skin so the 2 in 1 eliminates having to use a different moisturizer on my body. My skin is also extra sensitive especially to scents but Banana Boat Protect & Hydrate makes it feel soft without any uncomfortable itching. It provides all-day moisture with broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and aloe vera.

Wearing sunscreen should be part of our everyday routine. Children need to know the importance of sunscreen. They need to know that wearing sunscreen goes hand in hand with wearing a swimsuit. Thirteen year old Austin asked Grandpa to help him apply Banana Boat Sport Performance CoolZone Clear UltraMist Sunscreen before his friend picked him up for a day at the beach. He was also sure to pack the Banana Boat sunscreen in his backpack along with his towel and lunch. All very important essentials!
It doesn’t matter if you’re spending the day playing in the sun at the beach, or spending an activity filled day at the pool, wearing sunscreen screen is of the utmost importance. Just like Austin knows that using sunscreen is part of preparing for a day at the beach, every one of these adorable little cousins (and Auntie, too) have been sprayed down with sunscreen before stepping out from underneath the patio cover.
Sunscreen isn’t just for going to the beach or swimming. David was sure to apply Banana Boat Sport Performance CoolZone Clear UltraMist Sunscreen when he went out to hose down the car. We have yearly check-ups with our dermatologist and she has pointed out the ramifications of 50+ years of sun exposure. Wearing sunscreen is a very important part of our outside ‘attire,’ along with sunglasses and sun hats.

The Banana Boat Kids exclusive tear-free, sting-free formula is Kennedy’s new best friend. She has always loathed having sunscreen on her face. It would always sting her eyes, which led to tears, which led to crying, and a vicious circle. But she understands that with her fair skin sunscreen is a necessity.
Kennedy is thrilled with Banana Boat Kids Tear-Free Sting-Free Sunscreen . She can apply it herself (which she likes doing). And just as the name states, it doesn’t sting her eyes.
** This exclusive, tear-free sting-free formula ensures they’ll run outside with eyes as wide as the clear, blue sky, ready for fun in the sun.
- Broad Spectrum UVA and UVB Protection
- Water Resistant (80 Minutes)
- Tear-Free & Alcohol-free, won’t sting skin
- Hypoallergenic formula

So, let’s talk a few more facts. I think most of us feel good when we have a bit of a suntan. We may even think we look better with a suntan. But I’m here to tell you that the ramifications of unprotected time in the sun aren’t worth it. Not at all. So apply sunscreen, don your hats and enjoy the fresh outdoors!!
So, pick your favorite Banana Boat product. There’s a wide selection to choose from. Lotions, sprays, and even sunscreen sticks. And be sure to check out this Banana Boat coupon and the sun safety facts by Banana Boat brand Sun Care in Partnership with The Skin Cancer Foundation.

We use banana boat kids and banana boat sport almost every day, since we spend a lot of time at the beach and the pool. For this very reason, I am always very thankful, whenever Banana Boat puts out coupons.

We have used Banana Boat a lot with the kids over the years. I remember the first time I used it was when I was in Hawaii as a kid and it was the only thing that stopped me from burning.
