Summer is here, the warm days, Sunny beach days are perfect for family outings . Outdoor activities are always recommended for both kids and parents, but above all, they should be protected as much as possible, as we're often exposed to the sun for many hours and we need to be careful.
It's always a good idea to take advantage of the days to go for a walk with our children, but always taking appropriate precautions. As we've mentioned on numerous occasions, children's skin is more sensitive than that of adults. It's very important to take the appropriate and correct measures to protect them. and prevent them from getting sunburned.
Special care must be taken with children under 6 months old, as they are so small, They are more sensitive to the effects of sunlight. Therefore, it is recommended that they shelter under an umbrella at the beach or pool.
Regarding sunscreen, pediatricians do not recommend applying it to children under 6 months of age, as it may not provide sufficient protection.
On a hot day with a high UV index, it's recommended that you protect yourself not only with sunscreen but also with light clothing, avoiding peak hours, i.e., from 12:00 to 16:00, because radiation levels are highest and can be harmful.
It is also important protect little ones' heads with hats, caps or umbrellas.
It's important to teach children how to take care of their skin and eyes, and why. As they see us protecting ourselves, they'll develop the habit.
We must not forget that whenever we do an outdoor activity, we must protect ourselves from sunlight. Therefore, when choosing a sunscreen, it's important to choose one with the appropriate, broad-spectrum sunscreen factor. If you're going to the beach or pool, you should choose a water-resistant sunscreen. Generally, you should apply it every 30-60 minutes, depending on the activity you're going to do. If you're going swimming, it's important to reapply sunscreen every time you get out of the water.
We should avoid buying spray creams, as they can irritate the eyes. If you don't have another one, to avoid this it is advisable to first put it on our hands and then apply it to the children.
Sunglasses are also a good option. It's recommended that sunglasses have at least 99% UV protection, and always be the right size for each family member.
To avoid sunburn, we must remember to apply aftersun after a day outdoors. Apply generously to clean skin. Aftersun will rehydrate the skin and reduce inflammation thanks to its moisturizing and soothing ingredients, such as calendula and aloe vera.
If we don't have aftersun, we can also apply aloe vera, but it is not as moisturizing as aftersun.
We should also make sure to drink plenty of water, as this will keep our skin hydrated.
When it comes to clothing, it's recommended that they be made of synthetic or semi-synthetic fibers, as they offer greater protection, as is the case with polyester and rayon. Cotton, on the other hand, offers less protection.
