In childhood, the skin is much thinner than in adults. The epidermis, the top layer of the skin, is not yet sufficiently developed. Children’s skin has difficulty retaining moisture, it is easy to dry out, especially if the skin is exposed to sea water simultaneously with the sun. The sun causes rapid redness and irritation of baby’s skin, and can also provoke the appearance of age spots due to uneven production of melanin. At the same time, parents need to take into account that all organs and tissues of the child are in the process of development, and that is why it is very dangerous to expose them to ultraviolet radiation.

Sun exposure rules for children
Ultraviolet light affects the human body even in the shade, so the child must be dressed in light, comfortable clothes made from natural fabrics. To protect the eyes of the child, he needs to wear a panama hat with wide brim. On all exposed parts of the child’s body in the first days of his exposure to the sun, it is necessary to apply a sunscreen with the highest SPF factor. The first acquaintance of the child’s skin with the sun’s rays should last no more than 5 minutes. It is best to be in the sun in the morning, from 9 to 11 am, and in the evening, after 19 pm: during this period, exposure to ultraviolet rays is minimal.
What if children spend most of their time not on the shore, but in the water? Parents should be aware that near a body of water, UV exposure to the skin is enhanced by the reflection of UV rays from the surface of the water. In the same way, exposure to ultraviolet radiation enhances light sand, marble slabs, paths paved with light tile material. Be sure to use special sunscreen designed specifically for children: products created for adults are not suitable for protecting the delicate and delicate skin of children due to its nature. Children’s sunscreens undergo additional allergen testing and are more protective than adult sunscreens.
