| In the first 18
years of life, we obtain about 80% of our lifetime
sun exposure, according to the American Academy
of Dermatology. This fact increases our need for
sun prevention as early as possible. Children
6 months and older should wear sunscreen, hats
when possible, and stay in the shade when playing
outside. Be sure to read the back of your sunscreen
bottles carefully, but most bottles explain to
apply liberally and avoid children's eyes and
hands. Hands are an important consideration since
most children rub their eyes and sunscreen in
one’s eyes can be very irritating. The American
Academy of Dermatology has a detailed website
explaining other sun safety at www.aad.org/pamphlets/ABCsFunSun.html.
One convenient rhyme is to teach your children
the ABCs of sun safety... |
