  • As a mom you definitely have to be on it. The kids hate me for reminding them to apply lotion constantly but it’s for the best. We definitely need more sun!!!

  • My skins been pretty good this summer. I’ve stayed out of the sun as much as possible so no bad burns. I’ve noticed some freckling on my arms that is new but nothing too serious. I switched to facial wipes instead of a cleanser/toner and my face skin is reacting well.

  • I forgot to put sunscreen on my face and ears when I was at the beach and got a bit burnt. It’s easy to forget about yourself when you have others to look after and apply sunscreen for.

  • I’m a bit dry but no sunburns. It’s been so smoky here all summer that even though it is hot, we haven’t seen the sun! 🙁 I’m hoping to get some sun in September.

  • I am pretty on top of it this year! I have been diligent with either wearing sun screen or not going out at the peak times of the day. I moisturize my face every day, and I’ve been doing the rest of my body a few times a week (that could probably use some improvement in consistency I guess!!). No burns yet, and my skin is not too dry. I do tend to get drier skin in the winter though – that’s when I need to moisturize the most! I would love to win this prize pack to replenish our sunscreen stock – we’ve used a lot this summer and are getting low!

  • I always suffer from dry skin but i recently got a really bad sunburn gah. And I applied sunscreen a couple times! Obviously didn’t work too well. Sore for days and had fun peeling after that lol

  • I’ve been really good, so far, this summer. I have a SPF 50 CC cream that I’m actually using on my face every morning. Which is a bit of a first.

  • I got a really bad sunburn last month despite the fact that I use a high spa sunscreen and reapplied every hour. It blistered and pealed for at least a week.

  • With a 1 year old and being 3 months pregnant…..I cant find the time to shower let alone deal with the aftermath of any sun damage so lots of sun protection for all. Love the Aveeno for babies 🙂

  • Not too bad this year. It hasn’t been that sunny here, so no sunburns. I do use sunscreen every morning.

  • I’ve been good about applying sunscreen on my face everyday but I’m guilty of not reapplying when needed.

  • MY summer skincare has been good so far. lots of sunscreen daily. I probably should moisturize more often though.

  • I have been on top of keeping my skin protected. Spf for my face and another for my body. I have used Neutrogena for my facial SPF and it worked quite well.

  • I got very badly burned last summer, so this year I’m being extra careful! I’ve been using sunscreen and moisturizing all summer.

  • I’m pretty good with sunscreen but during my vacation in June I got a really bad sunburn. I was having too much fun on the beaches of Bahamas and forgot to reapply. Never again! No matter what I need to always remember to reapply especially when your in the ocean for a very long time.

  • This is the first year I have faithfully worn sunscreen SPF30 on my face daily. I also either wear sunscreen on rest of body or use SPF clothing.

  • I’ve had a few situations of having dry skin this summer, but now it’s ok. I’m applying more skin care products each day.

  • Well, the weather hasn’t been too hot & not a lot of sun – though I use sunscreen , exfolalate, use lotion – so skin is pretty good.

  • It has been so hot and the air quality has been poor due to the wild fires so I haven’t ventured out much because I have asthma. I like using facial wipes to freshen up and using a lighter moisturizer at night during the summer. No dryness at all; just sweaty. lol

  • I find this year we haven’t had to experience the sunburns but, we are definitely experiencing the dry skin!

  • I try and stay on top of it. I’m pretty fair and my middle son is a red head so we have to be super careful with extra sun exposure. 🙂

  • I have to say that I am 33 weeks pregnant, and my skin has never been better! I am LOVING it! I have clear skin for the first time since I was a pre-teen! Not sure what will happen afterwards and can’t really comment on how summer is affecting it though! I love the neutrogena moisturizer. Would love to try the zinc sunscreen and the baby sunscreen! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂

  • Happily I have avoided sunburns this summer by using sunscreen and trying to find shade! My skin is doing well, but somewhat oily from all the sunscreen, lol. 😉

  • I always have dry skin but I’m getting better at using lotions etc. I’m super aware in the sun – I have to be! My husband and our son are blonde and super-fair.

  • I have been careful this year with my skin and no sunburns for me. We had a family reunion last weekend and it was sunny and hot but thankfully I took care of things and no burns.

  • I am very proud to say that despite being in the sun all summer for the first time in about 6 years, I have not had a single burn. I SPF all the time. I am trying to learn a better (AKA any..) cleansing and moisturizing routine with mixed success. I spent a chunk of the last ten months being fairly good at cleansing often.. because of medication induced acne. Moisturizing is still a mystery to me as I haven’t found one I like and all feel greasy and counterproductive.

  • I make sure we all have sunscreen on when we are out playing or swimming. My skin is getting dry from the swimming.

  • It’s been crazily hot this summer – no sunburns, luckily, but we’ve been going through sunscreen like crazy.

  • I use Neutrogena Sunscreen in the summer and winter! Costco sells it at a great price in a 3 pack!

  • Been trying to stay on top of it. No sunburns but a little dry skin earlier this summer but under control now.

  • I’m on top of it when we go out. I make sure we have our SPF and mosturizer. Though somedays I fall asleep before removing my makeup.

  • So far, we have had 1 sunburning incident with my wife, but the kids and I are fine. Keeping our fingers crossed for the rest of the summer.

  • I use a lot of sunblock and have been for the last 3 – 4 years, I’ve noticed lots of skin damage on my skin so I don’t tan, I don’t burn because I’m not in the sun to long and if I am I always have the sunblock on

  • I think it’s vitally important to my skincare to use a good sunscreen with at least a 50 SPF. It’s important for me to remember to use it all year long and on cloudy days because the sun can do such damage to my skin.I love Aveeno & Neurogena products a lot because I have some eczema that can be a problem at times. However I have not tried the Neutogena sunscreen yet but would love to.Both of these products would be amazing!

  • I generally just wash and moisturize – its the most important thing for my face. (and sunscreen when out in the sun!)

  • Kids skin has been ok so far, my son got one red blotch on his face but it’s fading away, not sure how it got missed when applying sunscreen. I forgot to apply to my chest and got burned bad.

  • I have not had any burns yet this summer! This is a first for me, because I burn easily! Thanks to my 16 month old, I am always in the shade.

  • I have dry skin. I try to remember to wear sunscreen. My skin did get a little red a couple of times, but no serious burns.

  • We’ve had so much rain this summer (here in Central Ontario) that it’s almost impossible to get a burn, or even a tan. The only real issue has been mosquitoes. Lots of mosquitoes.

  • I have dry skin, so keeping it moisturized and wearing sun protection, so trying to stay on top of it.

  • Having light skin it can be hard to escape the sun and getting a bit red from it – would be great win these great products!

  • No sunburns this summer and my skin isn’t too bad but as usual my hands dry out because I can’t stay out of the garden.

  • This year I have had really dry skin. Ive tried everything but nothing seems to work for the long haul. Maybe its all this rain lol, Ive been blaming the rain this year for everything 🙂

  • I have very pale skin (thanks to being a ginger ) so spf is a given every.single.day. Same goes for my five year old.

  • I don;t want to burn in the sun, so I try to be a good role model when it comes to applying sunscreen each day.
