Empowering Children To Stay Safe In The Sun

After an especially miserable winter, it’s completely acceptable to run outside as soon as the sun starts to shine and enjoy every minute of warmth that you can. But in the rush to get outdoors, it can be easy to forget about taking care of your skin while you’re soaking up the warm temperatures. Your skin is delicate from a long winter of being indoors; all it takes is one missed sunscreen application and you might end up in a world of pain with a severe sunburn. Ouch!

You can protect your skin by wearing hats, sunglasses, and sun protective clothing, playing in the shade, and wearing sunscreen. Apply sunscreen thirty minutes before heading outside to let it soak in, and after that, apply it every three hours. Don’t forget to re-apply after you’ve been swimming or sweating. Make sure to get sunscreen on those hard-to-reach spots: ears, face, hands, feet, lips, behind the neck, and all of your arms and legs.
