Astaxanthin 4Mg, 60 Softgels, Jarrow Formulas is a great supplement for sun protection.
I use it for joint relief and sun protection.
Thanks, Patricia! Very good one ; )
How about taking care of our feet? They can get so dry and cracked in the summer heat especially down here in the low-country of SC where we go bare footed or in flip-flops all the time! For Feets Sake Soft Foot Soak: http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/for-feets-sake-soft-foot-soak.html OR if you’re on the go, the For Feets Sake scrub: http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/for-feets-sake-foot-scrub.html
Love it! Thanks, Pam ; )
Curcumin is good for so many things! Great as an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant which is helpful with all the sun and sports we do in the summer (better than advil when used regularly for muscle/joint pain). Helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels and supports brain, liver and digestive function for all of those summer cookouts and parties!

Great – Thank you Cindy! Way to get creative 🙂

Aloe Vera gel for sun scorched skin. Keeps it cool and soft.
Good call, thanks Sara!
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/grandmas-poison-ivy-bar.html
My kids are always running into poison ivy somewhere!
Haha! Well, that’s a great thing to have around the house!! Thanks, Shelby ; )
I was thinking that an allergy product would be a good idea during a season filled with those allergic to pollen and hay fever. It also seems to be a time that sinus infections, headaches and ear problems are more common. I found this link to a product that uses natural homeopathic remedies.
Good one! Thank you, Carol…
I’d LOVE to see a great argan oil included – for post sun healing, hair treatment, lips, dry skin from too much swimming, and more….tons of vitamin E and a great antioxidant. A true super-oil!
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/argan-oil-acure-1oz.html
Or, a simpler apre-sun treatment, aloe vera. Store in refrigerator for a cooling treat after sun & wind exposure.
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/pure-aloe-vera-AUB4.html
ooooh yeah! Gotta love Argan Oil!
The summer is a time people are more active playing sports and exercising with those muscle and joint pains needing a little extra help at times in relieving the aches and pains.
I found a great product for relief of muscle and joint aches due to Arthritis Pain, Strained Muscle Pain, Back Pain, Painful Joints, Strains and Sprains, Muscle Spasms, Neck, Hip and Leg Pain and Shoulder or Arm Discomfort. I think this about covers it all. This pain-relieving gel comes in either roll-on or tube. Sounds like something every household could use. I know I could certainly use a case of this stuff. : )
A very popular choice! Thank you, Carol.
My suggestion to complete this wonderful assortment of skin care products would be the
Carrot and Chamomile Skin Care Bar or another soap, to remove everything with the nightly shower.
Nibbling on the Paleo bars would be fun too.
Great suggestion, Patricia!
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/aloe-soothing-gel-N8.html
Can’t live without aloe for soothing sunburns and scrapes. A great lightweight moisturizer as well.
So true! Thanks, Juliana.
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/hand-sanitizer-aloe-8oz.html
I chose the all natural Hand Sanz Antiseptic Hand Sanitizer with Moisturizers because of the convenience and because it is free of the usual anti-biotic formulas that are creating super bugs from the overuse of pharmaceutical antibiotics. This hand sanitizer uses natural grapefruit, orange and lime seed oils to kill germs effectively. All Terrain has omitted the usal Carbomer, a synthetic polymer that is commonly used to thicken and add moisture. Instead they use a natural wood cellulose. During the busy summer months especially, an effective yet safe hand sanitizer will keep our families and friends safe from germs while enjoying the many outdoor activities we all love. Plus we can have peace of mind knowing that we are not creating super bugs in the process.
Awesome! Good one.
Everyday Shea Moisturizing Body Lotion Lavender, 32 Oz, Alaffia
A product I would certainly use here in the summer time. AZ is very hot and dry and a great Shea Butter body moisturizor is what a body needs!
Everyday Shea Moisturizing Body Lotion Lavender, 32 Oz, Alaffia
An essential must here in AZ in the summertime when it is very hot and dry! A body lotion with Shea Butter was recommended to me by my dermatologist!

Always hydrate during the summer, need that power berry Zipfizz to add to your water while sweating at the beach or pool or anywhere

EVOLV by Wondercide is a natural flea and tick spray that contains natural and organic ingredients for killing fleas, ticks and mosquitoes. EVOLV is a non-toxic solution that is an alternative to chemical products put on the necks of dogs and cats. EVOLV kills on contact, with no harmful side effects to dogs, cats or children.
Benefits
•Replaces Toxic Prescription Spot Drop Treatment
•Safe for Newborn Puppies, Kittens and Nursing Mothers
•Kills Fleas, Ticks, Eggs and Larvae
•Safe for Children and the Environment
•100% Biodegradable Flea & Tick Spray
•Human Food Grade Ingredients
•Natural and Organic Ingredients
•Animal Cruelty Free
EVOLV natural and organic flea spray is completely safe for pets and the people that love them. This organic flea and tick spray is the newest bio-based technology in holistic flea control.
Kill Fleas and Ticks the Organic Way
According to leading entomologists, fleas and ticks in North America have grown immune to chemical pesticide treatments. The alternative is our natural spray that fights fleas, ticks and other insects. Take a natural approach to fighting parasites with EVOLV. Natural and organic flea spray treatment, tick treatment, and insect repellent that works!
EVOLV Kills and Repels
•Fleas
•Ticks
•Mites
•Mosquitoes
•Ants
•Chiggers
•Flies
•No-see-ums
•And more!
Wondercides chemical-free EVOLV kills insects on contact, while dissolving eggs and larvae for the elimination of the next flea life cycle. All insects breathe through their bodies, and they close their breathing pores when they detect the aroma of cedar. To insects, the aroma is like ammonia to humans. It causes a biological response that kills them with the proven power of nature and not toxic chemicals. EVOLV is the natural flea and tick spray for animals that is safe and very effective
Great thought! Very thorough… thank you!
Calendula Blossom Deodorant Spray for those hot summer days! …a natural way to stay fresh. http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/calendula-deodorant-spray-AUB4.html
These contests are such a good way to get me to spend 30mins searching and coveting everything on your site! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
You’re awesome, Elisa! We love your site ; ) Thanks for keeping on eye on us!
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/arnicare-cream-B1-p-boiron.html
Magical cream to heal bumps and bruises, to help soothe achy muscles, stiff necks, sore throwing arms!
It is some magical cream, isn’t it! Good one, Elizabeth!
How about some help to our fury friends.
Every summer We take our dog everywhere and worry about ticks.
Evolv Flea and Tick Control with Mosquito Repellent
16 Oz, Wondercide
EVOLV by Wondercide is a natural flea and tick spray that contains natural and organic ingredients for killing fleas, ticks and mosquitoes.

http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/evolv-flea-tick-control-16oz-p-wondercide.html
Can’t forget about our pets! Thanks, Jessica ; )
No problem in our house our pets are treated with the same love as my daughter..lol 2 cats and a dog lol 🙂
My vote for any first aid kit!
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/arnicare-gel-value-30C-B-p-boiron.html
The pellets can be tucked in your pack for any mishaps out in the field, hiking, or playing; the gel is for followup or just easing achy, overworked muscles. Really works to reduce inflammation and bruising while speeding healing.
With 14 grandchildren going all different directions in the summer, they are always on the forefront of my mind. Are they eating enough? Are they eating right? The activities of summer can quickly drain them. For that reason, I would choose to add the Biofocus Bar Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch. Two birds, one stone. ’nuff said.
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/biofocus-bar-box-p-biogenesis.html
Ha! Love it, Georgia – thanks! 14 grandchildren – wow!!!
For us it has to be an allergy relief product. My poor little guy has awful allergies in the summer.
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/aller-res-q-150.html
Yes, allergy relief is a must. Thanks, Stacy!
Summer…busy days playing hard in the sun. I’d add arnica Montana topical pain relief. Help for those hard working muscles on parents and children alike. Because who wants sore achy muscles during the funnest months of the year?
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=arnica-hopsn-pain-relief-cream-V4oz&Store_Code=nhc&Category_Code=topical-pain-relief
Nice addition to the kit, Tanya!
Everything in the kit is for the outside of the body but with all the summer barbeques and parties that occur I hear a fair amount of complaints from my friends about upset stomachs, heartburn & overeating. I would recommend an enzyme like Digest (http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/digest.html) for the first aid kit. Heartburn is not a good indicator that there’s too much acid. The average person, especially as we age, tends to not have enough HCL.
Great idea! People in Wisconsin can relate to the heartburn with their love for brats. ; )

May support positively enhancing mood*
May support enhancing the sleep cycle*
May support reducing discomfort in patients with chronic pain*
May support reducing carbohydrate intake for natural weight loss support*
all these reasons are why i chose this product…i am in need of help in all these areas..thanks..

How about a relaxing way to end a nice summer day is by giving your littles one a soothing relaxing lavender scented bubble bath.
Please disregard this as an entry. I was reading that two entires would disqualify me 🙁 I hope I didnt mess up my chances. So sorry
No worries, you won’t be disqualified!
thank you 🙂
To keep my face hydrated and wrinkle free after the fun in the sun. My choice would be
Facial Cream Italian Red Mandarin w/ Rose.
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/facial-cream-italian-red-mandarin-PO.html
Adrisin by Heel is a homeopathic medicine for temporarily relieving allergy symptoms including sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes and skin irritations.
Supports the temporary relief of allergy symptoms:
Sneezing
Runny Nose
Watery Eyes
Skin Irritations
Aloe Soothing Gel is the product I would add. After a day at the beach yesterday without Summer Survival Natural Sun Spray, I need the Aloe Soothing Gel. It is an essential for me and my children and grandchildren’s summer survival.
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/aloe-soothing-gel-N8.html (Sorry, forgot to add the link.)
I would like http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/body-lotion-napca-lemongrass-NG12.html. I have heard lots of uses of lemon grass for skin care but haven’t really tried it.
This is what I would add. While sun block does help protect your skin, anything over a SPF 15 blocks 97% of Vit D production. Vitamin D is important for our immune systems and being that 50-60% of Americans are deficient in this important hormone, boosting levels can help keep us healthy and out on the trial a little longer 🙂

Here’s the link. It didn’t post the first time.
Thank you, Nann! Nice work.
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/after-sun-face-body-moisturizer-AUB4.html
This makes a total package of before and after care 🙂
Good choice, Stephanie ; )
Hydration is so important in the summer heat:
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/purelyte-lemon-lime-TR378gr.html
Also, refreshing with lemon/or lime slices & ice.
Amen to that! Thanks, Shirley!
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/vitamineral-green-capsules-400.html
We don’t go anywhere – in any season – without our Vitamineral Green capsules!
Both my daughter and I have auto-immune issues. Since taking Vitamineral Greens for the past two plus years, we have turned our lives around and take our VG’s everywhere. We just took a three week vacation – on airplanes and then 1600 miles in a rental car – with enough Vitamineral Greens to last us the entire trip, and we didn’t get sick….during or after the trip.
Heal the body from the inside out!
That’s awesome! Wow, thank you for sharing that with others who might deal with the same issues ; ) – thanks for playing!
I think the product “Traumeel ointment & tablet combo pack” needs to be in everyone’s survival kit. Helps with all the bumps, bruises, sprains and strains that come with activities in the summer.
Especially when you have kids, right?! Thanks Jennifer – good one!
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=traumeel-combo-pack
i am so excited the winner is going to be announced tomorrow. 🙂 I tweeted about this giveaway contest multiple times and shared on facebook so hopefully if its not me who wins it’s someone i know, Maybe they can share (**fingers crossed***)
Thank you for tweeting and supporting the giveaway, Jessica! ; ) you rock!
Myself and my middle son both suffer from severe summer allergies. Sagebrush, dirt blowing in the wind, horses, cats, pollen, you name it! I have giving them OTC meds, and this year I will be looking for something more natural, so my pick: http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/allergy-hayfever-reliever-KB-2.html
So glad to hear you will try something more natural this year, Amber! ; ) Thank you for playing and good choice!
I’m a lip balm addict, this would be a great summer addition! 🙂
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/sport-lip-balm-p-kiss-my-face.html
Gotta love smooth and tasty lips! ; ) Thanks, Heather!
http://www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com/og-body-butter-calm-3.html
Calming Lavender & Geranium Body Butter to slather on after a day in the sun and before you go to bed to keep your skin soft and the scent to help you sleep and relax!
Nice! Thanks, Krista ; )
Yay Jessica! I’m so glad you won, how fun!!!
Make the most of essential oil! Its hair treatments are highly effective, especially in the case of lice and dandruff. The oil has a cooling effect on the head, which in turn improves blood circulation in the scalp.
