With summer in full swing and families gearing up for exciting adventures, whether it’s a beach vacation or a cross-country flight, one crucial aspect often overlooked is sun protection. We all know the importance of sunscreen during outdoor activities, but what about when flying at 30,000 feet? The sun’s UV rays are just as potent in the air as they are on the ground, making sunscreen an essential travel companion for the entire family.
Flying in the middle of summer means being exposed to intense UV radiation, both from direct sunlight and reflected rays. Contrary to popular belief, airplane windows don’t fully block UV rays, leaving passengers vulnerable to sunburn and long-term skin damage. Additionally, the higher altitude can amplify the sun’s effects, increasing the risk of sunburn.
Aveeno® mineral sunscreens makes great travel companions for safeguarding your skin, whether you’re embarking on a family vacation or a solo adventure. Mineral actives are not absorbed by the skin, thus protecting the skin from UV radiation making them a great option for sensitive skin.
