Summer is here, the children are from school and vacations are planned. It is that time of year in which we all think of being outside, enjoying the sun, going to go and relax with friends and family. Now, however nice that also sounds, it can be quickly in a non-so-funny situation such as sunscreen is part of the photo, especially if it is your child that is burned.
Today I want to talk about how you can do it Safe your child exposed to the sun safely Before you share a quick and easy DIY-Sunblocker cream recipe that can help you if you go outside for a longer period of time.
Healthy sun exposure
Most people know that we have to step into the sun to make our body made Adequate levels of vitamin DBut too much of a good thing can be a bad thing if sunscreen is the result. So how do you balance to get the vitamin D that your child needs from the sun and prevents you from being burned at the same time? You limit your sun exposure and you protect your skin.
The problem with chemical sunscreen
The prevention of sunscreen can be achieved in various ways, but for most children chemical sunscreen are the go-to product. However, the problem with chemical sunscreen is double. First, they are filled with chemicals that are toxic to your child’s body; And secondly they can block UV rays so much that they prevent the body of your child from making the vitamin DS/he to stay healthy. So what is a natural parent to do?
Mineral -based sunscreen
One of the ways in which you can ensure that your child does not get too much sun is to protect his skin with a sunscreen based on minerals. On mineral-based sunscreens often contain zinc oxide or titanium oxide that lies on the surface of the skin and works as a reflector for UV rays. This helps to limit the amount of rays that come in your child’s skin, so that they are burned.
Now, like most things that are natural, mineral -based sunscreen, sunscreen are not as effective in preventing burns as chemical sunscreen; However, they are safer and there are ways to use them to help them be more effective. First choose a sunscreen with ingredients with a natural SPF (sun protection factor). Then make sure that the sunscreen uses non-nano zinc, so that the particles are on the skin and are not absorbed in the skin. Then apply the sunscreen to or after swimming or sweating every two hours.
So there you have it! You can enjoy the summer while keeping your child healthy and protect his/her skin, and it doesn’t have to be much trouble. Summer is supposed to be relaxing, right?
