During a lifetime, 70% of
total sun exposure occurs before the age of 17, this is
why it is important to protect your child’s skin
today to teach them to preserve their skin tomorrow. The
skin has a memory, and damage caused by the sun during
childhood is irreversible, cumulative and often only revealed
during adulthood.
 Baby’s skin is immature and the fact that they are “immobile” makes
it especially sensitive to the sun and its UV rays and more
prone to skin damage. “Mobile” children are at
risk for damage because they are most exposed to the sun
(75% of a child’s time is spent in the sun and the
water).
The use of sunscreens needs
to be a daily habit of all those who venture outdoors.
Sun safety should be considered year round, no matter what
the climate. The misconception is that sunscreens do not
need to be applied on cloudy days; however cloudy days
are when up to 80% of the sun’s UV rays
can filter through the clouds and perform their damage.
