To make the day even more worthwhile, Banana Boat couples the day’s activities with learning by offering skin care tips to interested participants. By enlisting a dermatologist to hold a talk, the brand offers parents the know how on keeping their family’s skin healthy whole year round. This presents a fun and friendly way of knowing more about the dos and don’ts of skincare for the benefit of the entire family.

Indeed, there are plenty of things to do within the 26-hectare expanse of the QMC and the only thing that can get in the way of enjoying every inch of it is the intense heat of the sun. But there’s no need to worry because Banana Boat will also be handing out Banana Boat Sunscreen Lotions to keep participants protected from harmful rays.
