Summer, one of the most exciting seasons of the year, is only a few weeks away. Going on picnics, spending days at the beach, or just lying around in a hammock are some of the pleasures which the summer months bring. Unfortunately, it also comes with a couple of challenges, especially among moms. For example, travelling with children can be nerve-wracking when you’re not suitably prepared, and so is getting the little ones to put on some sunscreen. Most kids, when they see a glimpse of the water, get so excited that they just want to jump right in. They see the extra step of putting on sunscreen as an obstacle to them having fun. Fortunately, Nivea Sun, one of the world’s most recognizable brands, has developed a kid-friendly device to teach children about the benefits of sun protection, the Nivea Sun Doll. Made with UV-sensitive material, the Nivea Sun Doll turns a pinkish-red when exposed to harsh rays without sunscreen. When sunscreen is applied on the doll’s skin, it will go back to its normal shade. This is certainly a great way to show children the importance of slathering on sunscreen, and would be available in the market soon.

This pioneering teaching tool was introduced at the Nivea Sun Summer Kick-off, a gathering of media, bloggers, and personalities at the Bellevue Resort in Bohol held last January 2016. Armed with the caring protection of Nivea Sun, guests were able to enjoy different outdoor and water activities, allowing them to experience first-hand the difference that Nivea Sun products can do for their skin.

Indeed, Nivea Sun has made seeking adventures under the sun a worry-free experience. Its range of products not only has a highly effective UVA and UVB filter system, it is also formulated to protect skin’s collagen and prevent wrinkles caused by sun exposure. Plus, it is water resistant and non-greasy.

Shield young children from the sun’s harmful rays with Nivea Sun Kids. Children have sensitive skin so Nivea formulated a range of sun protection products just for them. Nivea Sun Kids products are especially formulated for kid’s delicate skin. They are also extra water resistant, helping to retaining the SPF value longer.

Teenaged kids who like sunbathing would love Nivea Sun Protect & Bronze Spray as it gives sun worshippers a sun-kissed glow and a natural, even tan. Unlike other skin self tanning products, it gives adequate protection from the sun as it stimulates melanin production for a natural bronzed glow.

Athletes would be drawn to the Nivea Sun Protect & Moisture range as it offers both protection and moisturization at the same time—and its moisturizing effect can last for up to 24 hours.

Moms who find themselves out in the sun all day, going on errands or dropping the kids off to school, would appreciate Nivea Sun Protect & Light Feel Invisible Sun Mist. It gives a pleasurable sensation of freshness as it provides sun protection. It’s surprising how skin feels so silky and smooth even when one is under the sun.

And when it’s time to seek some shade, family members may spritz on some Nivea Sun Cooling After Sun Spray. It’s a light spray formula with aloe vera to help restore skin’s moisture after prolonged sun exposure. Plus, it cools and soothes, giving the wearer a refreshing feeling.
