Sun Protection: Sun safety tips for kids
It’s nice for kids to spend time outdoors as warm and sunny days are delightful, but at the same time, too much exposure to the harmful rays of the sun is not good. As skin cancer is on the rise, it’s scary for a few parents to let their kids go outdoors. During the day from 10:00 am to 04:00 pm, UV rays are the most destructive but don’t get fooled by cloudy weather as 80% of the UV rays can penetrate from the clouds. So, during these times try to arrange indoor activities and if you are still going out during peak hours, then make sure you take precautionary measures.
Sun Protection Tips
Infants:
If going out with infants particularly younger than six months, try to be more careful, and keep them in shade and for this, you can use an umbrella, cloth, or canopy of the stroller.
Toddlers:
While going out, dress your toddler in cool and comfortable dresses, which are lightweight, cotton, and long sleeve shirts and head cover like caps or hats. Now, the dresses are available with UV protection so you can go for them. Apply sunscreen on the skin that is exposed to the sun so that your kid is protected from sunburns.
Adults:
Adults are also affected by the UV rays just like kids so, try to limit outdoor activities as much as you can but if u still need to go out try to wear comfortable cloth and cover your head with hats or caps and also wear sunglasses as eye protection is also very important, with all these protections don’t forget to put sunblock/sunscreen on as it is the most important component against the sunburn if choose correctly and will also provide the most protection from UV rays.
