As summer winds down and school bells start ringing, most of us are focused on notebooks, pencils, uniforms, and lunchboxes. But there’s one essential item often missing from the back-to-school checklist: sunscreen.
Whether your child is walking to school, playing at recess, or heading to after-school practice, sun protection doesn’t stop with summer. In fact, it’s just as important during the school year—and adding sunscreen to your back-to-school shopping list is a simple, powerful way to protect their skin long term.
Here’s why SPF belongs in every backpack this fall—and why Caribbean Sol’s mineral sunscreen is the skin-safe, school-friendly solution you’ve been looking for.
☀️ UV Rays Don’t Take a Break
Contrary to popular belief, UV rays are still strong during the fall and winter—especially in warm climates or at higher altitudes. Even cloudy days or overcast skies can allow up to 80% of UV rays to reach the skin.
And those short walks between classes or quick trips to the playground? They add up. Daily, unprotected exposure can lead to long-term skin damage, premature aging, and increased risk of skin cancer.
Lesson learned: SPF is a year-round must.

🎒 How to Make SPF Part of Your Morning Routine
Sunscreen doesn’t need to be a chore. Here’s how to make it simple:
-
Apply before school – Make sunscreen part of the morning routine like brushing teeth or packing lunch. A quick layer on the face, ears, neck, arms, and any exposed skin goes a long way.
