How to effectively protect your child from the sun in summer?
In the summer, when the sun shines brightest, it is extremely important to protect our children from the harmful effects of UV rays. Here are some practical tips to help parents protect their children on hot days.
Choosing the right clothes
One of the most effective ways to protect yourself from the sun is to choose the right clothing. Choose clothes with long sleeves and legs that cover a large area of the body. Materials with a high UV protection factor (UPF) are best. It is worth paying attention to girls' clothing and boys' clothing , which are often designed with summer heat in mind.
Color and material
When choosing clothing, opt for light colors that reflect sunlight. Cotton materials are best, as they are breathable and cool. Avoid dark fabrics, as they can heat up the child's body.
Skin protection with cosmetics
Regardless of your outfit, it is crucial to use the right sunscreen . Choose products with a high UV filter (minimum SPF 30) and use them regularly. Apply them to the skin about 30 minutes before sun exposure. Remember to re-apply every 2-3 hours and after each bath.
Special preparations for children
There are special sunscreens available on the market for children, which are milder and less irritating than those for adults. It is worth paying attention to their composition and choosing those without alcohol and artificial additives.
Sun protection accessories
In addition to clothing and cosmetics, sun protection is complemented by various accessories such as hats, caps and sunglasses. Make sure the hat has a wide brim that covers the face and neck.
The importance of sunglasses
Sunglasses with a UV filter are not only a fashionable accessory, but above all an important element of eye protection. Choose models that block 100% of UVA and UVB radiation to provide your child with full protection.
Staying in the shade
Make sure your child plays in the shade whenever possible, especially during peak sun hours (between 11:00 and 15:00). It is worth taking a beach tent or umbrella with you to create a safe place to play.
