Warm Weather Protection

Depending on where you live, the weather may be getting warmer and warmer by the day. The days are also longer and the kids are now counting down the days till summer vacation. Yup, spring is definitely in the air and summer is right around the corner! Now is the time to prepare and make sure you and your family are ready for what warmer weather brings. Along with sun and fun, comes bugs and burns. Here is how you can fight the bite and avoid the burn.

Outdoor fun is on the way and it should be enjoyed without having to fight bugs and or harmful UV rays. If you have camping, hiking, picnics in the park, on the summer fun agenda, or just sitting in your front porch or back yard, then Bug Guard Expedition should be included in your supply pack. Like all Skin So Soft Bug Guard, it is DEET and PABA free. It is also water resistant, has Vitamin E along with SPF 28 and SPF 30. Moreover, it protects again mosquitos, deer ticks (which may carry Lyme Disease), gnats, no-seeums, sand flies and biting midges. And if you live in the south, as I do, mosquitoes are no joke! I don't step off my porch without Bug Guard! I also prefer the pump spray, but the aerosol spray works just as well.

Now if you plan on hanging by the pool or the beach, then I would suggest Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus. It too is water resistant, DEET and PABA free, plus it has Aloe and Vitamin E, and has an SPF of 30. It helps to protect against mosquitoes that may carry the Zika Virus. Dermatologist tested, safe to use on the little ones. And the lotion makes it easy to apply. Just make sure you apply it at least an hour before heading out to the pool or beach and remember that it is water proof, so no need to re-apply when coming out of the water. Bug Guard Plus is always in my tote for the pool. Hope it will be in yours too!

For those events that go on when the sun goes down, the protection does not end. Like Expedition, Bug Guard Plus Picaridin is there to repel deer ticks that may carry Lyme Disease, is DEET and PABA free, and has Vitamin E and Aloe. And again, like Expedition comes in both aerosol and pump sprays, plus towelettes which is handy to carry. Just slip a packet in your purse or back pocket. And because it is specifically made for those who are out before or at dawn or dusk, there is no SPF, so please keep that in mind before taking this line to the beach for a day of sun and fun. It will protect you from the bugs but not the sun! Now, I do realize that there will be times when you might forget to use Bug Guard or take it with you. I've done it, too my regret! But if that does happen, I've got you covered!

On the rare occasion that you do get bitten, just grab the Skin So Soft Ant-Itch Spray. It will provide temporary relief from insect bites. And did I mention that if you order 2 Bug Guards, you will get the Expedition travel spray for free!? Don't you just love a deal? And if you are still not sure that Bug Guard is the best protection for you, see how it stacks up to the other brands on the comparison chart below.

Now is the time to stock up to make sure you enjoy your summer outside. As we are now able to spend sometime in the great outdoors, let's not let the sun or bugs drive us back indoors. We've waited long enough, don't you think?

Till next time!
