Coppertone suncare product review

Spring means warmer temperatures...which means more time outside...usually in the sun...which can lead to sunburn (at least for my family & I).  I received a package of several Coppertone sun care products to review back in September, but the weather turned colder before we had a chance to use them.  I pulled them out of my dresser this weekend in preparation of the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend, which means LOTS of time outside for our family, and travel for many others.

If travelling by plane, you may have found that the TSA's 3-1-1 rule for carry on items to be quite a pain.  Luckily enough, Coppertone has you covered (pun intended)!  The Coppertone Sport Faces lotion was what we used yesterday at the ball field and birthday party we attended.  It worked beautifully!  It won't clog your pores or cause your face to breakout, which is important to me as I have a naturally oily face.  It stays on strong when you sweat and is water resistant for up to 80 minutes.

Perhaps you have little ones who don't like to sit still to have sunscreen applied to them, causing tears when it gets too close to their eyes.  The Coppertone kids stick works GREAT to help prevent just that. Not to mention it's fragrance free, hypoallergenic & water resistant for up to 80 minutes!

Coppertone's designers have also launched a Making the Grade program which educates parents by providing them with tools on how to protect their children from the sun.  You can even print a $1 coupon good when you buy ANY Coppertone sun care product (excluding trial size)!  Even when wearing sunscreen, it's important to remember to limit your time in the sun, especially from 10A-2P, wear long sleeves, hats & sunglasses for extra protection and be vigilant in checking your skin for changes which may be a sign of skin cancer.

Coppertone has been so gracious as to provide me with some extra sunscreen sticks to offer as prizes to a few lucky readers.  In order to be considered for this giveaway, please do any (or all!) of the following:
