Save Their Skin and Teach Them to #MimicMommy with Neutrogena

This post is brought to you by Neutrogena® as part of an influencer campaign for The Motherhood. In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, I am disclosing that I received free products to aid in my review.

I grew up with a culture of sunbathing and neglected sun protection, spending countless hours by the pool and lake, often ending up with sunburns. Back then, no one thought much of it, aside from the odd freckles that accompanied a bad burn.

Today, we are more informed about the dangers of sun exposure. Unfortunately, skin cancer remains a significant health issue in the U.S.—with over 350 Americans diagnosed every hour, despite it being one of the most preventable forms of cancer.

Did you know that just 1-2 severe sunburns can increase the risk of melanoma by 40 percent?!

Hence, I strive to be a good role model for my children. I make it a point to apply sunscreen in front of them, encouraging them to #MimicMommy.

How You Can Make A Difference and Start Protecting Your Children’s Future:

Start young! Show your kids that applying sunscreen is a daily habit by doing it yourself first.

Spread the word to help educate and safeguard those you care about.

Together, let’s raise a sun-safe generation.

Two painful sunburns during childhood can significantly heighten the risk of melanoma compared to children who have not been sunburned.

Research indicates that children are more likely to adopt healthy habits, including sunscreen application, if they see their mothers doing it.

Instilling this simple behavior early on may help lower the risk of developing skin cancer in the future.
