As a child, I loved the whole process of getting ready to return to school after a long three months of vacation. It was exciting for me to get new supplies, go shopping for new clothes, and get up early to take the bus. As an adult, I miss those days of learning and maturing. I sometimes wish I could go back and tell my younger-self some key words of advice…things like, “Don’t sweat the small stuff!” and “Life is not going to end because you got a B minus on a history exam!” With back-to-school in full swing, it’s not too late to champion the benefits of living a natural life with your child, both with the food that they eat and the products they use on their body.
All DERMA E® products are vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free, GMO-free, paraben-free, mineral oil free, sulfate free and phthalate-free. They contain a combination of high-potency vitamins, antioxidants and botanicals that provide fresh, healthy, visible results! With so many products that are great for every skin type and every age, I thought it would be helpful to share my top back-to-school picks for your little geniuses: Kids play outside every day, so why not protect their skin with our Natural Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Body This lotion is lightweight and non-greasy, and it will ensure your child is getting broad-spectrum protection when he or she is out on the playground. For a great teacher’s gift, consider a nourishing hand crème instead of an apple: Age-Defying Hand Crème or Vitamin E Intensive Therapy Hand Crème are both great for hard-working, often-washed hands. The Age-Defying Hand Crème fortifies the skin with potent antioxidants that will help repair visible damage while protecting the skin. The Vitamin E Hand Crème will soften dry, over-worked hands while hydrating brittle nails and ragged cuticles. The Skinbiotics Crème is another great item to have on hand for all sorts of school-related skin ailments: cuts and scrapes, athlete’s foot, itchy skin, warts, bug bites, rashes, etc. Moms and teachers alike should keep this crème on hand. So as you ready your kids to go back to school, trust that they’ll be in good hands – and good skin – with DERMA E®. Enjoy the Fall Season! ~ Kate
