Sun protection: the booster shot
First, we try to choose its maximum vacation destination. For example, from the tropics with an infant, it’s not the best idea. In general rule when baby less than a year, we avoid the beach and above all we do not exposed to the sun so young.
For bigger kids a golden rule: avoid sun exposure between 12 and 16h. Protected or not your child is too weak to counteract the radiation (ultraviolet) that are very strong and dangerous at this time of day.
Sun protection also means clothing. Choose light-colored clothing and more covering possible. Do wear sunglasses (Category 3) with enveloping forms. Do not forget the wide-brimmed hat that baby is protected at best. Good news is the most economical way to protect your children from sun damage.
Zoom on sunscreen
The skin of toddlers and young children is particularly sensitive. Very fine and less lubricated, it is not an effective filter against solar radiation. Especially as its defense systems are still immature. Creams and other photoprotective care is essential, especially as sunburn and excessive exposure in childhood greatly increase the incidence of skin cancer in adulthood. It should so choose treatments specially formulated for children: the protection they provide is provided by non-sensitizing mineral sunscreens, particularly suitable for younger skin. Normally with all precautions as before, the remaining parts of the body to be protected will not be very important. Apply it at least every 2 hours and / or after swimming.

6 things to check before buying a sunscreen:

.The words “high protection”;
.A double UVA-UVB protection;
.Mineral filters (chemical filters are to be avoided);
.Lightly tinted color to facilitate implementation;
.Water resistance.
.Alcohol-free
