Item Description

This kit includes the best dermatologist recommended SPF 30 and SPF 45 sunscreens for face, body and lips. Plus, Sun Guard to wash into the laundry and make your own sun protective clothing, and the Detecto Ring to check your sun exposure.

Know you have the best sun protection with dermatologist recommended sun protection products containing micro sized zinc oxide. Micro sized zinc oxide is the most reliable and best sunblock to protect you from UVA and UVB rays.

This kit includes Citrix Sunscreen SPF 30 for the face, ears, and neck. This is the best every day sunscreen and used by Dr. Bailey herself daily. It has an SPF 30 with 7% micro sized zinc oxide mineral sun block in an oil free base that is invisible on the skin and should not aggravate acne or sting the eyes. It layers on the skin nicely with other skin care products. Dr. Bailey has used it every day for years and never has found a better product.

The kit also includes Solbar Zinc SPF 38 Sunscreen for the chest, hands, and other areas of skin that need sun protection. Solbar Zinc is my favorite sunscreen for sports, sweaty activities and applying to large expanses of unprotected skin. This SPF 38 sun block has an oil free base that's pretty much water and rub resistant and is gentle on the eyes. Dr. Bailey depended on Solbar Zinc Sunscreen for years when gardening, swimming, hiking or outdoor activity where sweating or wet or other wet environmental factors would rub off other sun blocks. The lotion base binds well to the skin and is considered a 'very water resistant sunscreen' as tested by the United States testing standards for sunscreens. Dr. Bailey states: "Solbar Zinc Sunscreen has never failed me. Plus, it won't clog pores and doesn't sting my eyes unless I get it directly in them. Its moisturizing lotion base is easy to spread over the skin, making it perfect for applying to large areas such as the back, arms and legs for complete sun protection."

Dermatologists and skin professionals agree that sun protection is critical for skin cancer prevention and anti aging skin care. Dr. Bailey has searched long and hard for high quality, reliable sun screens, and Citrix and Solbar Zinc fit the bill. She has  trusted them for years and wears them every day.

Sun screen alone isn't sufficient for total sun protection. Dermatologists recommend sun protective clothing to cover as much of your skin as you comfortably can and these garments can be expensive. Make your own sun protection clothing with Sun Guard. Add Sun Guard to a normal wash cycle of laundry and you have reliable sun protection from your own clothes.

Lastly, test your sun exposure and learn when you're at risk using the UV Detecto Ring, small UV sensitive beads that turn color with UV rays. Test shade, sun reflection, clothing, windows and more!

Item Special Note

Product Details: Ultimate Sun Kit

Citrix Sunscreen SPF 30, 3.5 oz.: My favorite every day sun protection product for normal skin! SPF 30 with 7% Micro sized zinc oxide and other sunscreen agents in an oil-free base that is pretty much invisible when it is on the skin, won't aggravate acne, does not sting eyes, and layers on the skin nicely with other skin care products.

Solbar Zinc SPF 38, 4 oz.: SPF 38 sunblock in an oil-free base that is very water and rub-resistant. This is Dr. Bailey's choice for sports, water activities because it doesn’t sting the eyes. Its sun protection comes from 7.5% zinc oxide and other chemical sunscreen ingredients.

Sun Guard Laundry Treatment, 1 oz.: Turn everyday clothing into sun protective clothing. Wash Sun Guard into a load of laundry and your regular garments will become sun protection clothing, with their protection lasting for approximately 19 launderings. Use of Sun Guard on a linen shirt doesn't alter the look or texture of the garment.

LipCotz SPF 45, 0.14 oz.: This pleasant zinc oxide and titanium dioxide lip balm provides chemical free sun protection for the fragile lips.

UV Ray Detecto Ring: Learn when you are exposed to harmful UV rays. The Detecto-Ring consists of plastic UV sensing beads and a colored key ring that you can carry with you. The white beads turn color when exposed to UVA or UVB approximately 50,000 times. You can place the ring on your key ring so it is always handy to check your UV exposure. The information is startling! 1. The ring turned intense color while the wearer was sitting at an outdoor cafe in complete shade of a tall building, but apparently fully exposed to reflected light from the building across the street! 2. When placed in the pocket of a one year old sun protection garment, the ring colored slightly, meaning that the sun protection of the garment was wearing out and  needed replacement. The Detecto-ring is a teaching tool and is not a medical device that can be used to guarantee sun safety.
