The importance of outdoor sun protection for children
- Children's skin is very delicate. Under the same sunlight, children are affected 2-3 times more than adults.
- Children's skin protection mechanism has not yet matured, and their ability to resist ultraviolet rays is very weak. After sun exposure, symptoms such as pain, redness, peeling, and the like will occur, and the risk of skin cancer in adulthood is greater.
- Because the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin is a long-term accumulation process, the more frequent the sunburn of children, the greater the risk of skin cancer in the future.
- Studies have shown that UV exposure in childhood, especially sunburn, has been shown to be related to melanoma development later in life.
Therefore, sun protection for children is a task that cannot be ignored.
- Outdoor activities are essential for children, but it is equally important to enjoy outdoor activities safely in the sun
