    Look for sunscreens that contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide with SPF 30.

    Choose a broad spectrum sunscreen which protects against UVA & UVB rays.

    Avoid sunscreens that contains parabens or those which are scented or tinted.

    USAGE

    Apply sunscreens 15 to 30 minutes before going outside. Reapply every 2 hours.

  • DRESSING UP IN SUMMER

    Dress up kids in light weight cotton clothes as they absorb the sweat. Also choose hues like red, blue and green as they don’t absorb sunlight. Kids can wear broad brimmed hats to protect eyes from direct sunlight. Umbrellas to be used if going out in sun.

  • DIET

    It is important to eat fresh fruits and vegetables and foods rich in antioxidants. Also give your child plenty of fluids so that they don’t dehydrate.
