Sun Protection For Tots

When it comes to protecting sensitive skin, more is more. Cartledge stresses the importance of sunprotection for young children. “Long-sleeve, lightweight, fitted rashgaurds are the best form of UV protection. Note, not all rash guards offer UV protection. Make sure you look for fabrics treated with a special UV coating—some offer up to SPF 200-plus protection from the sun’s harmful rays and are tested and approved. When using sunscreen, make sure to apply 30 minutes before going into the pool, allowing time for the sunscreen to soak in and making sure to reply every two hours. On top of that, always wear hats if possible.”
