Protection of sensitive children's skin

In the summer, children are exposed to the sun for many hours during the day during the game. The sun is essential for the development of muscles, bones and teeth, promoting the production of vitamin D.
However, the skin of children is more vulnerable to solar radiation than adults.
As the natural mechanisms of self-protection is not yet fully mature, especially in the first years of their life, the skin of children is more sensitive and need special protection during the summer. It is very important to train your children about the health risks from excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
Here are some tips that help in the effective protection of your children from the sun.

• Avoid direct sun exposure for infants up to 15 months.
• Use a hat with neck protector, or with visor, T-shirt and sunglasses, and avoid the sun from 11:00 am to 16:00 pm.
• Apply the sunscreen at home as part of the preparation for the beach and refresh it every two hours and after swimming, toweling and sweating.
• Use sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (at least SPF 30) and make sure that it protects against UVA radiation (name UVA).
• Drink a lot of water during the day.
• Don't forget to apply sunscreen in the legs, ears and lips.
