I get asked often, “What do you do for sunscreen?” My answer is always the same: nothing. Yesterday we spent 7 hours at a waterpark. No sunscreen, no sunglasses, just rashguards.
Luna and Evey build up their tan in the spring with lots of outdoor time. We send them outside when they wake for early morning sun. They don’t wear sunglasses so the sun hits the receptors in their eyes that signal their bodies to make melanin. They tan. They rarely burn.
We manage sun exposure with shade when needed. They’ve never ever, not once, worn sunscreen.
