Undoubtedly the sun brings energy and good mood and it is a sign of upcoming exciting games by the sea or pool for every kid. And as we know playing outside is one of the greatest joys of childhood.
Summer is one of the seasons when children spend the most time outside. But the sun brings with it some risks.
Children's skin needs special care every season. In order for their delicate skin to be protected during the summer, we must provide them with reliable protection from the intense sun rays.
Moderate sun exposure has good health benefits. But if overexposed, it carries a risk of burns for the delicate baby skin, which we want to avoid at all costs.
Excessive sun exposure during the warmer months causes both short-term and long-term skin damage. So the risk of damaging children's skin from the sun should be minimized.
Children's skin is extremely vulnerable to the sun's rays and it is more prone to damage, as a result of excessive exposure, than that of an adult. Its sensitivity to the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays is due to the fact that it is still under development.
The skin of babies and children is thinner than that of adults. It contains a very small amount of melanin and therefore has less natural protection from the sun.
An important fact that every parent should know is that just one more serious sunburn in childhood doubles the chance of developing melanoma in adulthood.
The skin has the ability to "remember" every single sun exposure and, therefore, every sunburn. This fact itself confirm the need for proper sun protection from an early age.
There are some basic rules for sun protection for children, that every parent should know in order to provide their child with effective protection from the sun.
Exposure to direct sunlight is not recommended for newborns and children under 6 months. It is recommended that babies walks should be before 10 AM and after 4 PM. The stroller should also be equipped with a UV-protected cover.
Also young children should not be exposed to the sun between 11 AM and 3 PM, because during this time of day UVA and UVB rays travel a very short trajectory through the Earth's atmosphere and are therefore more intense than at other times of the day.
In this case, even the highest sun protection factor will not provide the necessary protection for children's skin, so it is better for children to stay in the shade during this range.
The fact is that even in cloudy weather the level of ultraviolet rays can be high, as well as the presence of HEVIS light.
It is important to know that skin damage can occur due to sun exposure without visible signs.
The best approved method of sun protection is the use of a wide range of high-factor sunscreen products.
Look for sunscreens that protect against both UVA UVB , as well as from HEVIS light.
As we know baby skin does not tolerate different types of sunscreen products. For children's skin in between 6 and 12 months is recommended a sun protection factor of at least SPF 50+.
For newborns, it is recommended to bet on high-quality cosmetic brands for babies and newborns with a factor of SPF 50+. For the right choice of brand you can consult a pediatrician or dermatologist.
It is also recommended to use After Sun products for children, which will soothe the delicate baby skin and help its recovery.
The application of sunscreen should be on the whole body and re-applied after immersion in water, wiping with a towel, or if the child sweats. Application should be 30 minutes before going outside.
Frequent application of sunscreen maintains the necessary level of coverage that children's skin needs to be maximally protected.
During the warmer months babies and children are advised to wear hats and clothes made of sunscreen materials, which cover most of the body. Light natural fabrics with a thick knit are preferable. This means that they will transmit less UV rays.
It is important that the clothes cover the child's arms and legs. Regarding the hat, it should be wide so that it can well cover the child's ears and neck, where the sun's rays can reach.
Babies who wear a hat for the first few months usually get used to it easily, so it's a good idea to invest in a comfortable wide-brimmed hat for your baby.
When you are with your child on the beach or by the pool, for example, you can use a sunscreen tentto protect him from the sun.
Do not forget about sunglasses,which are another important accessory for children in the summer.
