Spring starts tomorrow, and before you run into the sunshine, Jennifer Garner has a tip for you: Wear sunscreen. The actress makes sure she protects her entire family—including her three children with husband Ben Affleck—with a healthy dose every morning. “Sun care is such a big part of my family’s routine that if I’m not home, [my kids] will remind their dad to make sure they have it on,” Garner told InStyle.com at the Neutrogena Sun Summit in New York. “Sometimes they’re, like, ‘Mom!‘—and I don’t know any kid who isn’t—but you make it as fast and painless as possible.” And to do that, she recommends using spray-on sunscreen. “They’re fast easy, and they really do have great coverage, so we have those sprays everywhere. I have one in my purse, in my car, near the door before walking out, in the bedroom—everywhere!” For an easy-to-use spray sunscreen, try Neutrogena’s Ultra Sheer Body Mist ($8.49 at neutrogena.com) or Coppertone Sport Continuous Spray Ultra Sweatproof ($8 at walmart.com). For more sunscreen suggestions, see our favorites in the link below.

This is another bad example from Hollywood. Sunshine is vital to our bodies, including children. Sunscreens are full of toxic carcinogens. A better solution would be to fill your kids diet full of antioxidants and make sure they have enough good oils (fish oil, olive oil, unrefined coconut oil) in their diet. Then they wouldn’t burn. This has even worked on my blonde haired, blue eyed toddler.

Sorry, KC, but the medical establishment is not behind you on this. There is NO evidence that having a body full of antioxidants will prevent sunburn. That’s dangerous advice. My husband has melanoma and although they caught it early, he is very careful to use sunscreen everyday. And yes, he still gets PLENTY of sunshine, plus our milk and OJ are fortified with Vit. D. Also, mineral sunscreens are NATURAL and organic. No harmful ingredients!
