The levels of UVR in Queensland throughout the year are enough to damage your kids\u2019 skin and more so in the summer when the temperature can climb up to 43 \u030a Celsius &#8212; the highest temperature recorded in QLD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prolonged sun exposure without any protection could not only result in sunburn, but also in skin aging and skin cancer. You must therefore put extra effort in protecting your children from the sun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;Here\u2019s how to keep your kids safe under in the sun this summer:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Always apply sunscreen<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the proven and simplest ways to protect your children\u2019s skin from the harmful UV Rays is applying sunscreen. Whatever their skin tone may be, always use sunscreen on their skin, especially the parts not covered with clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a sunscreen with&nbsp; SPF 30 or higher for best protection and ensure that the product has a broad spectrum. This will protect the kids from both UVA and UVB rays. And if you are going to the beach or water parks, make sure that the sunscreen you\u2019re using is water-resistant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slather on a generous amount and re-apply every two hours. This will significantly lessen the impact of UV Rays on your children\u2019s skin. Don\u2019t miss parts of your kids\u2019 heads, including their faces, ears, necks, and napes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Wear pants and long-sleeved shirts<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sunscreens are very helpful in protecting the skin from the sun, but they can\u2019t ward off the strong UV Rays completely. This is where the importance of the right clothing comes in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might feel counter intuitive given the scorching heat, but for extra protection against the sun, have your child wear pants and long-sleeved shirts when going out, especially at noon. Proper clothing paired with sunscreen will give your kids&nbsp; maximum protection. Rashies and longer board shorts should do when going for a swim.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Have a hat ready<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The head is one of the most sun-exposed body parts, that\u2019s why an extra layer of protection is necessary. So, keep several hats handy, one for each of your kids. Make it a habit for them to wear hats every time they go out in the sun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But don\u2019t just give your kids any kind of hat. Make sure to buy those that have at least 3 inches of brim around them to provide enough protection from the sun.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Wear sunglasses<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UV Rays can damage the eyes just as much as it can damage the skin. Hats can protect your kids\u2019 eyes, but to best shield them from the sun you should make sure that they wear sunglasses too. Choose the ones that wrap around the eyes to ensure maximum protection.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Bring a beach umbrella<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beach is perhaps the most popular destination for families during summer, and the Gold Coast&#8217;s beaches are especially hard to beat. Unfortunately, it\u2019s also one of the least shaded places there is. If you are planning to spend an entire day at the beach, then make sure to bring your own beach umbrella so the kids can avoid direct contact from sunlight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just remember that no matter how big your umbrella may be, it isn\u2019t enough to protect your kids from the sun. So, they make sure that they still wear proper beach clothes and a generous amount of sunscreen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Stay indoors during midday<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The strongest and most harmful sun rays occur around midday. If you want to keep your kids safe in the sun, then better keep them indoors during this time of the day. This is applicable even if you\u2019re not planning for any outdoor adventure. Your kids can still get sun damage while playing in the yard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, remember to keep your kids within shaded areas when the sun is shining very brightly in the sky.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Teach the kids well<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps the best way to keep your kids safe in the sun is to teach them to protect themselves. You can\u2019t always be with them, so teaching your children the importance of sun protection and the different ways to do so is very important. Teach them about sun damage and how to avoid it, so you\u2019ll feel confident that your kids are protected wherever they go.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What to do after prolonged sun exposure<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what should you do if one of the kids forget to wear sunscreen? Or stays too long in the water under the sun? Take the steps below after prolonged sun exposure:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Get the kids inside<\/strong> right away and have them take a cool bath.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encourage the children to <strong>drink plenty of fluids<\/strong>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Treat their sunburn<\/strong> by applying wet compresses to the skin. Pressing a wet or cool cloth against the sunburn will also help alleviate the pain.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Buy a pure aloe vera gel<\/strong> from the chemist and apply to sunburned skin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also apply over-the-counter <strong>diphenhydramine products<\/strong> like Benadryl to relieve itching and any <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hydrocortisone cream<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to ease the pain.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Keep the kids indoors<\/strong> and out of the sun to make the sunburned skin heal faster.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should the sunburn worsens and blisters grow on their skin, take your kids immediately to a physician or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">call for home medical assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Sun Protection Supplies at Greg Keily Chemist<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summer is a great time on the Gold Coast and now that you know the best ways to keep your kids safe in the sun, this coming season will even be more enjoyable for the whole family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start buying sunscreens and other sun protection supplies now to get you ready for the summer.
