h Guards Provide Sun Safety for Kids
Summer is a special season for children, a time to get outside and play without the worries of school and homework. However, these carefree days can be dangerous for your children. A minor sunburn might not seem like such a big deal now, but later in life, the damage caused by that burn could end up being deadly.
What Can a Sunburn Do?
Sun damage caused in the early years can come back to haunt us later on in the form of melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. Studies have shown that adults who spent a lot of time outdoors during their childhood are most likely to end up with skin cancer, whether melanoma or another form.
A bad sunburn can cause lasting problems, including scarring. While the sun's rays are necessary for our health, they can also be damaging. The best way to prevent problems for your children in adulthood is to protect them now while they are playing outdoors in that beautiful sunshine.
How to Protect Your Child
The sun is usually strongest during the middle of the day, so it is a good idea to keep your children indoors between 10-3. By letting them play outside while the sun is slightly weaker, their sunblock will last longer. Remember that water can enhance the power of the sun's rays, so being in the water during this time isn't much protection, in fact, your children are more likely to burn.
A good place to start is with a child-safe sunscreen with an SPF of at least 25, more if your child has fair skin or is sensitive to the sun. There are some great sunscreens out there that even include a vanishing tint so you can see where you have applied the sunscreen,Jordan 13 Just Enjoy Life - Completely Different T, which is awfully handy when you are trying to slather a squirming toddler.
