The Sun is the main danger
Build sand castles, play volleyball,splashing in the water – children simply adore all this and eagerly await the arrival of warm days to go to the beach with their parents. But, when playing, it is very easy for a child to get sunburned, so the primary task for a parent is to protect their baby from the sun. It is very easy to protect a child from the harmful effects of sun rays, the main thing is not to miss anything. So, let's remember:
- Schedule a visit to the beach. The morning and evening sun is the safest. Therefore, on an early sunny morning, go with the child straight to the water, do not wait for noon. Just the same with the baby at this time it is better to leave the beach. The most harmful time for tanning is from 12 to 16 hours. And remember that after winter the skin is weaned from ultraviolet, so the first family outings on the beach should not be long. Gradually during the summer, you can increase your exposure to the sun.
- Sunscreen cosmetic products. The skin of the child must always be smeared with baby cream or sprayed from the sun, and the lighter the baby, the stronger the protection factor. For blue-eyed white kids, you can safely choose a cream with SPF 50. It is also better to use a cream with a higher protection factor for the first days of staying on the beach, especially if you left to the south. Gradually, you can switch to funds with a lower degree of SPF. And remember that it should not just be applied once before going to the beach, and do not forget to lubricate the baby's skin after every bath. Particular attention should be paid to such areas as shoulders, neck and face.

Therefore, when going with the child to the beach, first take a sunblock with you. And if you do not fully trust cosmetic products, a bright beach shirt on the shoulders of the baby will not be superfluous.
- The child should be in the shade most of the timetime spent on the beach. If you know that there will not be a canopy or "mushroom" on the shore, buy a beach umbrella and do not forget to take it with you to rest. Choose an umbrella with your child so that the child does not refuse to hide under him: he first of all should like the baby.
- In addition to burns on the beach is very easy to getsunstroke. Therefore, always wear a baby hat. Baseball caps, panamas, bandanas, straw hats, anything, at least a cap from a newspaper, but the baby's head should be securely hidden from the sun's rays. And do not forget that the sun is also harmful to the sight of the child, so it's better to choose a headdress with fields or a visor or to offer a small beach ball for children's sunglasses.
