SUN PROTECTION

Let’s face it…. we all need some sun exposure — it's the top source of vitamin D.  Repeated unprotected exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause skin damage, eye damage, immune system suppression, and skin cancer.

It is important for parents to ensure that their kids enjoy fun in the sun safely!  Sunburn can happen within 15 minutes of being in the sun. It is recommended that all kids — regardless of their skin tone — wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

 So Think Prevention...!

    This is so important to start healthy sun habits from early so that children know the importance as they get older.

      Children should be protected even when playing in the yard as too much exposure to the sun is harmful, especially to young tender skin. Sun Block is always advised when outdoors.
