Sun Protection for Kids

Summer is here and one of the single most hazards for children is overexposure to the sun. So what is the best way to protect our kids from sunburn and skin cancer. The number one way to protect your kids from the sun is the use of sunscreen. Consumer Reports suggests that kids ages 1 and up use an SPF no less than 30 be waterproof, paba free and should be reapplied every 2 hours depending on if they are swimming excessively or sweating.

 For newborns ages 0-6months their skin is still very sensitive to the sun and should have most of their skin covered in the shade. If sunscreen must be used for new born's it is recommend that you use sunscreen for sensitive skin only on their hands and face.

Sunscreen along with sun protection clothing is the best, like rash guards, long sleeve lightweight short or long sleeve shirts and pants with a UPF sun protection rating, and sun hats with at least a 3 inch brim. Here are some of the top Rash Guards and Sun Protection Suits that we recommend for kids.

Girls

Tuga's fun designs will make your girls look the best on the beach, at the lake or by the pool. Keep 'em safe while they have fun all summer long!
