Do you get overwhelmed trying to decide what sunscreen to use?

Do you know all your options?

We all know the importance of protecting our skin from sun damage and sunburns when spending time out in the sun but with so many options out there for protection these days, finding the one that is right for you can be a bit of a challenge.

Here are some of the options out there, including tips for how they best serve your protection needs:

Spray: Spray sunscreens are a great option for quick application because the spray covers skin more quickly. This is a go-to for parents trying to catch a kid for long enough to give them a good coating of sunscreen. Be sure to use a generous amount, and recoat often.

Lotion: This is the most commonly applied product and should be applied evenly over the body, rubbed in well, and reapplied often.

Built-in: Many sunscreens are built into daily-wear moisturizers, lipsticks, and other makeup products. These are good for light sun exposure, or for added daily protection.

Mineral: These sunscreens are great for those with allergies or sensitive skin because they sit on top of the skin rather than absorbing into the skin.

Sweat/Water-Resistant: These sunscreens are great for water sports or exercise in hot conditions, but remember to reapply after getting out of the water.

Stick: Stick sunscreens are great for spot treatments like to the ears or nose.

Be prepared for your next sun adventure with the right protection!

I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
