Sun Safety for Kids

Sun Safety for Kids - excerpt from melanoma.com.

Infants, children, and teens who get sunburned may not see the long-term damaging effects for many years. Parents should remember to protect their children from the sun's rays by following the same sun safety tips as adults. Also, special sunscreens are available for babies and children who are under 6 years of age.

In general, children should:
- Avoid the sun from 10 AM to 4 PM.
- Cover up with clothing, including a broad-brimmed hat.
- Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen — sun protection factor (SPF) 15 or higher.
- Stay out of tanning salons.
- Have a skin check-up regularly.
- Keep babies 6 months or younger out of the sun whenever possible.
