Protect Your Children From Sunburns

Here are some tips you should remember when your children are spending time out in the sun.

Sunscreen is not just for the beach. It is important for parents to apply sunscreen to their children regularly when they engage in any outdoor activities, even on overcast days. Because children are outside a lot, they get an average of three times more sun exposure than adults.

Overexposure to the sun as a child can lead to skin cancer later in life. Children who are taking certain types of drugs are at greater risk of sunburn, since the sun combined with drugs can bring on photosensitive effects.
