WHEN APPLYING SUNSCREEN

■ Apply sunscreen about 30 minutes before going outside, so that a good layer of protection can form. Don’t forget about lips, hands, ears, feet, shoulders and behind the neck. Lift up costume straps and apply sunscreen underneath them.

■ Reapply sunscreen every two to three hours. Water reflects and intensifies the sun’s rays, so children need protection that lasts when swimming. In this case, a waterproof variety is best, but you should still reapply it.

■ Children with dark skin need protection too. Although dark skin has more melanin and tans more easily than it burns, tanning is also a sign of sun damage.
