A Breakfast Date With Hugh Jackman & Pure Sun Defense

Yes, I had breakfast with Hugh Jackman. It was glorious. We chatted about topics that were important to him and he was just as handsome and charming as you could imagine.

There might be a few details I’m conveniently leaving out…like it wasn’t with just me–it was with The Moms and other influencers. Hugh was a bit far from me, but I ate my yogurt while he spoke so that counts as a breakfast date right??

We gathered at Hunt & Fish Restaurant and were treated to a very yummy breakfast. Hugh came to discuss his partnership with Pure Sun Defense Sunscreen and his own life changing bout with skin cancer. Unbelievably enough Hugh Jackman has had skin cancer 4 times!

Up until a few years ago I was completely oblivious to the dangers of skin cancer. There was a terrible myth that African Americans are less susceptible to skin cancer because of the pigment in our skin. Turns out I couldn’t be anymore wrong.

Hugh shared with us that 1 out of 2 kids in Australia will have skin cancer. In the US it’s 1 out of 5! The most important thing to know about skin cancer is that it is preventable. Using the proper sunscreen daily protects your skin from harmful UV rays.

Check out what Hugh Jackman has to say about his skin cancer diagnosis, how preventable it is, and the #1 reason why Americans don’t buy sunscreen.

What I love most about the Pure Sun Defense Sunscreen is that it has all my favorite Disney characters and of course, the minions!! This makes it so easy to put on my kids. Oddly enough my eldest loves being slathered with lotion meanwhile my youngest is utterly repulsed by it! Having a kid friendly sunscreen makes it way easier to make sure both kids are protected from the sun.

Some of the great features of the Pure Sun Defense Sunscreen include:

  • SPF 50
  • Water Resistant Up To 80 Minutes
  • Fragrance Free and Hypoallergenic
  • Made for sensitive skin
  • PABA free

Are you super vigilant about your sunscreen? What about putting it on your kids?
