Essential Baby Sun Protection Tips for Healthy, Safe Skin
Too much sun exposure can be harmful to anyone’s skin, but babies and young children are especially vulnerable. Their skin is more sensitive, and excessive sunlight can cause severe damage.
Keeping kids out of the sun entirely isn’t always possible, so taking precautions is essential. Kids’ swim shirts and other UPF clothing provide an effective layer of protection against harmful UV rays.
UV exposure is particularly risky for infants under six months, as their skin lacks sufficient melanin for natural UV resistance. Seeking shade, using UPF clothing, and applying sunscreen (for babies over six months) are key steps in protecting children from sun damage.
