This afternoon, my son and I had a wonderfully relaxing day together at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa! We lounged and splashed and generally enjoyed one of the first warmer days of the season in Southern California.
Our summers in Southern California tend to start out mild with several days of June gloom, and by July and August we’re scorching. And while it would seem that we would only need to protect ourselves on those bright and sunny days, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, up to 80 percent of the sun’s UV rays can pass through clouds on a cloudy day. I strive to ensure that at the very least, I have protection on my face every single day.
If you’re planning on being in the water this summer, Neutrogena recently introduced their new Wet Skin Sunblock, available for adults and children. Unlike traditional sunblock which must be applied on dry skin and allowed to remain dry for a period of time before entering water, Neutrogena’s new line can be used even if you or your child haven’t dried off from a swim.
While I don’t mind lotion for myself, it’s rather difficult to apply to a squirming toddler. Neutrogena’s new Wet Skin Sunblock can be sprayed on both wet and dry skin, won’t drip or look white, and is available in SPF 30, 50, and 85 for adults and SPF 70 for kids. As important as the amount of protection is how often sunscreen is applied (the current recommendation is every 2 hours). The product makes it easy to apply and reapply, particularly with regards to small squirmy children.
One question I do have about the product is whether or not the an SPF above 50 is really that much more effective? I remember reading an article which concluded that sunblock with an SPF above 50 provided only minimal increased protection. I also need to do some research on the Skin Deep Cosmetics Database to determine it’s safety. Stay tuned…

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Neutrogena and received sunscreen and other Neutrogena products as a thank you for my participation.
