Gulf Shores is one of the greatest places in Alabama to enjoy the sand and the surf, but there’s nothing like a sunburn to ruin a vacation! If you’re planning on enjoying the best of Gulf Shores, make sure you’re protecting yourself from the sun while you do it.
Make sure that you apply sunscreen several times for longer days out, especially if swimming. Even if the product boasts a high SPF and a water-resistant label, total protection is too important to compromise!
Coppertone WaterBABIES
Coppertone has been a staple name in sunscreen for a long time, and this product is one reason why! While granting a strong SPF, WaterBABIES is also designed to be better for toddlers and infants than other options. It is not only hypoallergenic, but also has a gentler formula that’s less likely to upset your youngster; pediatricians recommend this sunscreen. (Please watch your kids around water!)
Equate Sport Sunscreen Lotion
Equate is Walmart’s store-brand sunscreen lotion—while some people are wary of store-brand products, Equate boasts the same quality as many popular brands, and its low price makes it a popular buy. Their Sport lotion is an excellent choice for a day of activity—its water-resistant, non-runny formula makes it just as good for surfing as for volleyball!
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-in
La Roche-Posay is a French company that specializes in studying ways to keep skin healthy. Their line of sunscreen is called “Anthelios”—an abridged Greek meaning “against the sun.” Beauticians have commended the line of Anthelios products for protecting users from the sun as well as reducing the appearance of sun damage—the fast-absorbing lotions can even be used under make-up. Anthelios by La Roche-Posay is the perfect option for those who want to stay beautiful in the sun.
Ocean Potion
Ocean Potion started in 1989 in Virginia, and has spread throughout the south ever since thanks to its innovative approach to creating sunscreen lotions. The name comes from their use of sea plants in their products. Their lotions aim to not only protect against sun damage, but also supply vitamin D3 and vitamin E.
Aveeno Protect + Hydrate
Aveeno Protect + Hydrate comes in several degrees of SPF, its most popular being SPF 30. As a company, Aveeno specializes in skin lotions of various sorts, so many people with dry or sensitive skin may gravitate toward their sunscreens as well. Aveeno Protect + Hydrate gives water-resistant sun protection designed to not block pores and to keep skin feeling soft.
