When you’re on holiday with the children and they are having fun in the pool or at the beach it’s always important to remember to protect them from the sun. Even on days where it feels a bit cooler the suns UV rays can still cause damage to children’s sensitive skin and eyes if they are not protected properly.
Here are some things that you will need to ensure your children stay safe in the sun:-
High factor sun cream – this should be factor 50 sun block and ideally should be one of the long lasting water resistant ones, however even these do need to be re-applied fairly regularly if children are in and out of the water.
Wide brimmed sun hat- these will protect the children’s face neck and eyes from the sun and keep the sun off their head to avoid getting sun stroke.
Wet suit style swim suit – these cover most of the child’s skin and offer UV protection as well as keeping them warmer in the water too, so they are well worth the money.
