Children together as we anciosos to enjoy the beaches and pools. First of all, I remember the 10 golden rules to follow when your children are in the sun.

1 – Before the age of 3 do not leave a baby in the sun.

2 – Do not expose young children to the sun during the hours when the sun is stronger, approximately 11h and 16h.

3 – Remember that the sun is good for the body. Helps synthesize vitamin D, essential for the binding of calcium in bones.

4 – Protect children with a hat, sunglasses and a thin shirt or a shirt with long sleeves.

5 – Use a sunscreen with a high rate, preferably for babies or children.

6 – Apply it half an hour before sun exposure to be effective.

7 – Renew the application every half hour for children (up to 3 years) and every two hours after 3 years.

8 – Protect even when the shade or when cloudy because 80% of UV through the clouds.

9 – Avoid using substances that sensitize the skin even more sun: cologne, perfume …

10 – Give water often because the rays of sun dehydrate the body.
