Don’t Scratch Off Your Summer Adventures
Summer and adventures go together like ice cream goes with cake. We are already planning our summer bucket list and all the fun things we can do together as a family. One of our top items is camping. We recently purchased a “new” camper and plan to take it as soon as school is over for a few days at a local campsite. Other items on our summer bucket list include boating on the Ottawa River with our cousins, trips to the beach, family bike rides and maybe even a few horseback rides! There is nothing holding us back from our summer adventures.
Well, almost nothing. With so much fun waiting to be experienced, we want to make sure we are comfortable. The dreaded “summer itch” is pretty much a given. I’m talking about bug bites, sunburns, allergies and whatever other skin issues that may arise for whatever reason. The good thing is that I have products in my arsenal to help. Gold Bond has been around since 1908 and for a good reason: it really works to relieve that pesky summer itch. I know everyone says don’t forget the sunscreen, but I’m also telling you to also pick up some Gold Bond Anti-Itch Lotion or Gold Bond Medicated Anti-Itch Cream. If summers past are any indicator, you’re going to need it to stay comfortable!
I have super sensitive skin that seems to flare up more in the summer. When I get a bug bite, I cannot stop itching it. I need help. Thankfully, I have Gold Bond to relieve this annoying itch so I can concentrate on having fun with my family and not on how terrible my skin feels. The stuff really works!
Try Gold Bond Medicated Anti-Itch Cream for temporary relief from pain and itching from bug bites, minor skin irritations like scrapes, cuts and burns, sunburn and dry skin. It contains a unique blend of aloe and Vitamin E to soothe skin and medicinal anti-itch ingredients (Menthol 1% and Pramoxine Hydrochloride 1%) to calm that annoying itching sensation.
Another great one to pick up is Gold Bond Anti-Itch Lotion to soothe all over itchy skin. It’s made with a blend of aloe, Vitamin E and Vitamin B5 to provide much-needed moisture to your dry summer skin. To tackle the itching and protect your skin, it has Dimethicone 5%, Menthol 0.5% and Pramoxine Hydrochloride 1%).
Both products are must-haves for your first aid kits and medicine cabinets! We are all “itching” for adventure, but don’t want the itching to happen in the literal sense! Feeling awful because of dry, itchy skin can easily ruin someone’s day. No one wants to feel horrible when so much fun is waiting for them. Being comfortable in your skin is important and I’m glad that Gold Bond is there to save the day.
When we go away this summer on our camping trips, we’ll be packing all the essentials like swimsuits and bug spray, but also Gold Bond to slay the pesky summer itch.
Do you suffer from itchy summer skin?

Fortunately, I don’t suffer in this context 🙂 Lovely pictures!

I usually get a lot of bug bites in the summer because we are outside a lot. I love the title that you have on this post. Cracks me up because it’s so true for me. I’ll have to try some gold bond and see how that helps me.
Your daughter is always so beautiful and love how she is having fun in these photos! I get eaten alive from mosquitos every single day, drives me nuts!
My skin can get itchy in the summer if I don’t drink enough water and keep the hand cream on at all times. It’s the worst feeling ever!
i keep Gold Bond on hand at all times. I live in Nevada, and the air absolutely sucks the moisture right out of my skin.
I do, and I think it is when my skin is dry – I try to keep moisturizing. I should try Gold Bond. I love the picture with the tire – so cute – good for a magazine!
I love summertime, so much fun stuff to do.
I love Gold Bond. I always carry it with me in my backpack. I have super sensitive skin and it’s the only thing I can use to fend off itching and dry skin that doesn’t make me look like I just rolled in an anthill.
I totally could use some of this stuff about now. All this in and out of the pool is taking a toll on my thighs!
My skin is definitely different in the warmer months. This would be great to have with me on any day of the week, adventure or not.
I love Gold Bond, I didn’t know they made an itch cream! I could totally use some of this in our lives!
No matter how much insect repellent we use the mosquitoes love my son and me. Then the itching starts. I will have to pick up some Gold Bond.
We love to go on adventures in the Summer. We have a few road trips planned so far. I always have a bottle of Gold Bond Anti-Itch Lotion on me. I have very dry skin and it really helps me.
The only problem I have in summer are the stupid mosquitoes – they really love my blood! Unfortunately most of their bites end up as very itchy lumps on me, this might be what I need, thanks for posting Stacie. 🙂
I need to pick up some Gold Bond. My oldest not only itches with bug bites, but she starts to swell up too from simple mosquito bites. Thanks for letting me know about these products.
The summer can definitely bring some unexpected itchiness. The Gold Bond cream and lotion should be convenient!
I did not know Gold Bond made anti-itch. I need to get this, the mosquitoes are awful!
I love Gold Bond. I picked some up for my daughter who has eczema. Seems to be working good for her too.
I just had to pick this up for my girls! It seems the only thing to be working for their dry skin!
I love using Gold Bond, it really does work! And thank goodness because I love summer and would not like it ruined!
I also have this in our RV! We get so many bug bites since we are always camping, it works so good!
I do get some dry skin during the summer but it doesn’t usually itch. My Dad has skin problems for a long time and Gold Bond is one of his go to products.
Since it has rain more in Southern California, we are experiencing more bug bites! Thank you for the share. I never knew such a great product existed!
Gold Bond is an essential for us every time we travel. Thank you so much for these tips!
I didn’t even know about this. I’m going to have to try it. Summer has just begin and one of the kids is already suffering so much from his skin issues!
Bug bites in the summer are horrible,thanks for the tips!
Yep, for me summer means irritating my skin. I recently took a walk in the bush and the stinging nettles really irritated my legs, I could have used this lotion at the time!
I have never used Gold Bond but think I should try it with mosquito season starting.
Calgary is super dry, so yeah, I have itchy skin. I do use Gold Bond for chafing and active sports.
