Sun Protective Clothing For Kids

by Erinn

How many of us parents remember getting sunburn when we were young? Even though my parents used sunscreen on my sister and I, I still remember getting sunburns. When I was a teenager I actually used oil for tanning!
I lost my father to skin cancer a couple of years ago and I have made it my mission to not lose another family member to melanoma, so protecting myself and my kids is so important to me.
Did you know that:
-Just two or three blistering sunburns during childhood can double the risk of skin cancer
-The majority of lifetime sun damage occurs before age 18
-One in 5 Americans will contract skin cancer in the course of a lifetime
-Nationally, there are more new cases of skin cancer each year than the combined incidence of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung, and colon

Have I scared you yet? Good.
The good news is I have an amazing company to share with you that will help protect your kids from the sun’s damaging rays, Cabana Life.

Cabana Life was founded by Melissa Papock, a melanoma survivor who, along with her husband who is also a skin cancer survivor, offers sun protective clothing that is absolutely adorable and hip. While a regular tee shirt has an SPF of 5, cabana life clothing has 50+UV protection through patented High IQ Sun Protection! They have everything you need from hats, cover-ups, tunics, shirts, and pants for boys, girls and women.


I was lucky enough to get to try out some of this clothing for my fair little ones. The clothing was made with amazing quality, it looked great and stood up just fine in the wash. I love the fact that some of the kids bathing suits and cover ups have matching set for adults!

Go and check out Cabana Life’s clothing because I know you will be smitten. Great, quality clothing that protects your skin, is reasonably prices and gives back, what more could you ask for? I know I am a lifelong fan.

Cabana Kids is offering parentingourchildren.com readers an amazing 40% off coupon! Use code MOMBLG when you check out and get 40% off all your entire order!! This coupon is only valid through Friday, July 25th, so hurry!
