Spending a warm afternoon with loved ones at Marvida’s resort-style pool and lazy river is is hard to beat. But before you pack your snacks and floaties, don’t forget the sun protection. A little preparation ensures your day of fun doesn’t end with you looking like a human tomato.
Swimsuits and Cover-Ups That Block Sunburn
Shopping for pool day essentials? Think sun-safe meets fabulous. Swimwear with UV-blocking fabrics or UPF ratings is like sunscreen that you wear—genius, right? Rash guards are your go-to for extra sun cover and maximum chill vibes. Throw on lightweight, breezy cover-ups that say effortlessly fashionable while keeping the sunburn at bay.
Sunscreens to Outsmart the Sun’s Sass
Sunscreen is essential. Opt for a broad-spectrum formula with SPF 30 or higher to guard against harmful rays and choose water-resistant options for swimming. Mineral sunscreens are great for sensitive skin and kids, while lightweight, non-greasy formulas work well for adults. Reef-safe products are also a thoughtful choice. Apply generously, cover all exposed areas and reapply often to stay protected.
Trendy Sun Shields
Sunscreen’s got your skin, but UV-blocking shades are here to rescue your eyes from harmful rays. Look for 100 percent UVA and UVB protection. Oversized or wraparound styles? Total game-changers, protecting the sensitive skin around your eyes while serving serious fashion. A wide-brimmed hat is your poolside MVP. Whether it’s a floppy straw, chic bucket or lightweight UPF-rated style, it’ll shield your face and neck from the sun while adding a dash of poolside glam.
Perfect Timing
Timing your pool visit wisely is essential to avoid sunburn and maximize your enjoyment. The Texas sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so consider heading to the pool in the early morning or late afternoon for a safer, more relaxing experience.
Protecting Mini-Me’s
Keeping your little mini-me’s safe at the pool is all about strategy. Armor them up with a generous layer of kid-safe, water-resistant sunscreen. Reapply it religiously, especially after splash battles. Deck them out in UPF-rated outfits, big hats worthy of a Kentucky Derby and sunglasses that scream “future rockstar.” Don’t forget water bottles because hydration is key.
