Summer is Here - Sun Safety for Kids

For kids, summer means reveling in the sun all day long. Whether they’re building sandcastles or frolicking in the pool, it’s important to protect their skin. Keep your kids’ fun in the sun safe with these tips:

1. Lather them up with enough sunscreen to provide complete coverage—from the tops of their heads to their tiny toes. The ears are commonly missed. 
2. Reapply sunscreen liberally and often, especially after swimming, sweating, horse playing or toweling off.. 
3. Make sure the whole crew wears protective clothing outside, like wide brimmed hats and sunglasses. 
4. Don’t forget the lips—they need sun protection too! Use an SPF lip balm
