Don't Get Burned…


Did you know approximately 80% of skin aging is believed to be due to sun exposure rather than age? Look at someone who has spent a lifetime in the sun without protection and you'll notice their skin may be wrinkled and leathery. The sun can also cause skin sagging and age spots, as well as growths that may lead to skin cancer. The extent of damage is directly related to the amount of sun exposure throughout life. Since more than half of a person's sun exposure occurs before the age of 20, it's very important to protect children from the sun. Watkins PABA-free Aloe Vera Sun Block SPF-30 is fragrance-free and safe for children. Aloe Lip Balm SPF-23 protects sensitive lips, and Aloe & Green Tea Hand and Body Lotion provides cooling, soothing relief after the sun. If you still find that you're a little red in the face, as well as the rest of your body, Watkins medicated Aloe Vera Burn Cream can help to relieve pain and itching from sunburn, windburn, insect bites, minor burns and skin irritations.
