Americans take suncare for children VERY seriously.\u00a0 Take time to learn these\u00a0sun safety tips and prevent sunburn.<\/p>\n

APPLY SUNSCREEN DAILY.\u00a0<\/strong>Kids will fuss when you try to apply sunscreen.\u00a0 Remember, you are the adult in charge and responsbile for their well being.\u00a0\u00a0 Apply sunscreen daily.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER EASY-TO-MISS SPOTS.\u00a0<\/strong>The most vulnerable parts of the body are often the ones that get overlooked when applying sunscreen. To make sure your kids are covered, teach them \u201cBEENS.\u201d This useful acronym stands for Back of knees, Ears, Eye area, Neck, and Scalp (if visible).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Bottom line:<\/strong>\u00a0For a handy reminder, write \u201cBEENS\u201d on your sunscreen bottles.<\/p>\n

BE GENEROUS<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0 We may all use sunscreen, but most of us aren\u2019t putting on enough.\u00a0 If you apply a third of the recommended dose of SPF 30 product, the protection is more like SPF 10.\u00a0\u00a0Bottom line:<\/strong>Adults should apply an ounce (about a handful; see above), and kids half that much, of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every two hours, and more frequently if they\u2019re swimming or sweating.<\/p>\n

COVER UP.\u00a0<\/strong>To avoid burns when the sun is strongest (between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.), take frequent shade breaks, wear a UV-protective shirt while swimming, and use a sunscreen with zinc oxide.\u00a0\u00a0Bottom line:<\/strong>\u00a0You probably can\u2019t keep kids out of the mid-day sun completely, so it\u2019s important to be all the more vigilant about protection during those hours.<\/p>\n

SET A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR YOUR KIDS.\u00a0<\/strong>If your child sees you following sun-safety rules, he\u2019ll take them for granted and follow suit. Skin protection is important for every member of the family, so team up with your children to stay protected when venturing out in the sun.\u00a0 Trust me, you will be thankful when you are 40 years old you applied sunscreen.<\/p>\n
