Over exposure to the sun can have serious effects on the skin, particularly on young skin. Below are our top tips for keeping little ones safe in the sun.

• Keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight and make sure they wear UV protective clothing and high SPF sunscreens (at least 25+). In line with NHS guidance, babies under 6-months should be kept out of the sun entirely.
• Avoid intense midday sun. This is a great time to head indoors for some shade.
• Do not stay too long in the sun, even when using a sunscreen product.
• Reapply sun cream frequently every 1-2 hours, and always after perspiring, swimming or towelling.
• Encourage your child to wear a hat to keep their face protected.
• Give your child regular sips of water to keep them hydrated.
