Why a Sunshield Is the Must-Have Accessory for UV Care

Sunshine and summer go together like peanut butter and jelly. Weekend soccer games, backyard barbecues, beach days—getting outdoors is part of what makes family time great. But with all that fun comes a real need to protect your skin, especially your face. 

If you’ve ever known someone with a history of sunbathing who was preoccupied with catching the rays and tanning their bodies, then you’ve probably seen the damage it can do. There’s every reason to love the sun--until it destroys your skin, and there are plenty of people with wrinkles to prove it.

If you're trying to keep your family safe from the sun without reaching for a bottle of sunscreen every hour, you're not alone. That's where Bluestone Sunshields come in. A sunshield gives families a smart, chemical-free sun protection option. Created to block up to 99% of UVA/UVB rays and blue light, it's a smart and stylish way for parents, teens, and kids to stay safe outdoors. 

Whether you're running errands or relaxing poolside, staying sun-safe has never been this easy—or this cool.

Sunshield Safety: The Family-Friendly Way to Stay Protected

Bluestone Sunshields were made with safety in mind. Founded by esthetician Jen Podany in 2017, Bluestone grew from a simple idea: create sun protection that's safe and stylish and that works. Since then, the shields have been seen in Vogue, Well+Good, and Shape Magazine, which called them "The New Sunblock."

A sunshield works well as an add-on to your regular SPF routine (sun protection factor) or as a main option for those looking for alternative sunscreen options.

Whether playing outside with the kids or recovering from a cosmetic treatment, Bluestone Sunshields offer a practical way to protect your face without sacrificing comfort or visibility. Families appreciate the look and love the function. No mess, no fuss, and full protection. 

Doctor-Recommended Protection You Can Trust

For anyone wanting to defend their skin from the sun, Bluestone Sunshields aren't just a passing trend. Professionals back them. In fact, they're the #1 doctor-recommended sun visor for daily UV care and post-treatment skin.

Dermatologists and estheticians across the country point their clients toward Bluestone for one big reason: results. Unlike many drugstore sun visors, Bluestone's shields are ANSI Z80.3 certified, meaning the lenses meet optical and safety standards you can feel good about.

Parents can wear the sunshield to protect their faces during stroller walks or long days at the beach. Teens concerned about acne treatments or sun sensitivity can wear them during sports practice. They are safe and lightweight, making them easy to wear for long periods.

What makes them special:

• Clear PVC visor lets you see easily while fully covered

• Heat-tested to 176°F to avoid warping

• Recommended by skin care professionals worldwide

Post-Treatment Protection: Ideal for Sensitive or Healing Skin

If you or someone in your household has recently had a cosmetic procedure—like a peel, laser treatment, or microneedling—protecting that delicate skin is more than a luxury. It's part of healing. That's why Bluestone Sunshields were first designed: to support clients recovering from skin treatments without exposure to the harsh elements.

Skin is at its most vulnerable during the days and weeks after a procedure. Sunscreen can sting or cause flare-ups. But a sun visor? It provides full coverage with no contact. That's why estheticians and skincare clinics so often recommend these shields.

Parents especially love this feature. After a facial or laser session, there's no need to worry about sun exposure during errands, carpooling, or even just walking to the mailbox. A sunshield slips on easily and gives full face protection. No slathering, no reapplying, and no worries.

The Kitty Lux and Full Lux options even extend around the sides of the face, which is great for those healing from cheek or jawline treatments. And with an adjustable neoprene strap, the fit stays comfortable, even for those with sensitive skin.

If you've recently had a skin treatment and need extra protection or are helping a teen who's recovering from acne therapy, a sunshield offers a safe and comfortable way to stay protected.

Portable Protection: Travel-Friendly and Easy to Clean

Let's face it: parents have enough to carry. That's why Bluestone Sunshields are built to be practical, not bulky. With a travel bag included and cleaning kits available, this is one UV care item that fits into daily life.

If you're headed to the lake, flying to visit family, or just tossing the shield into your diaper bag, it's designed to keep up with your busy life. The slim design folds flat, making it easy to store in the car or suitcase.

Cleaning is just as simple. The smooth surface wipes down easily with the included cloth, so you don't have to worry about residue or streaks. This makes it the perfect anti-maintenance gear.

Bonus: Kids love how futuristic and fun the shields look. Adults love that they don't have to fight about sunscreen reapplication every hour. The kids get to look cool, and the parents get a little extra R and R. It’s a win.

Perfect for:

• Moms on the go

• Travel days and vacations

• Poolside lounging

• Outdoor family events

With the right sun visor, families don't have to choose between style and safety. You can have both.
