☀️🧴 Sun Safety Tips for Your Little Ones! 🧢😎

Summer is here, and fun in the sun means making sure our kids stay safe from harmful UV rays. Here are some simple sunscreen safety tips to keep your child protected:

🌞 Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
🧴 Apply sunscreen generously 15-30 minutes before going outside.
🔄 Reapply every 2 hours — and more often if swimming or sweating!
🧢 Dress kids in protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses whenever possible.
⏰ Try to avoid outdoor play during peak sun hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.).

Protecting your child’s skin now helps prevent sunburn and lowers their risk of skin damage later in life.

For more info, check out HealthyChildren.org Sun Safety Tips ☀️💙

Sunscreen can help protect the skin from sunburn and some skin cancers but only if used correctly. Keep in mind that sunscreen should be used for sun protection, not as a reason to stay in the sun longer.
