Krasnoyarsk residents told how to save the child's health during a strong heat

Doctors of the Almed Children medical center gave the Krasnoyarsk residents recommendations for the choice of sunscreen and clothing for the child on sultry days.

When buying a protective cream for a child, it is important to consider a SPF factor and type of filter. SPF shows the level of protection against UVB rays that provoke sunburn. The higher its value, the longer the baby can remain in the sun without the danger of getting red skin. Children under three years of age are optimal creams with SPF from 30 to 50+, guaranteeing a high degree of protection.

Filters can be divided into two large groups – physical and chemical. The former reflect the sun's rays, forming a kind of screen on the surface of the skin. These drugs usually include zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are hypoallergenic and perfect for children. The latter-absorb ultraviolet rays, but can have negative effects on the child’s delicate skin due to chemical components in the composition.

The release form is also important, it will be more convenient for young children to use creams and lotions. Aerosols are less practical, because small particles of the spray easily fall into the eyes, mouth or respiratory system of the baby. If the child swims a lot or swears intensively, it is advisable to choose a waterproof product. But remember that even such a product must be updated every 2 hours.

“Children's skin is especially susceptible to sunlight. In babies, a natural protective barrier of the skin has not yet been formed, so a long stay in the sun is fraught with burns, allergic reactions and can provoke the development of serious diseases in the future. It is important to competently approach the choice of sunscreen and clothing that protect the child from ultraviolet radiation, ”the specialists of the children's medical center explained.

A suitable wardrobe is also important for protection against sunlight. Choose light clothes for the child, as they well reflect the sun's rays, unlike dark tissues that contribute to the heating of the body. Give preference to natural fabrics like cotton or flax. Use a headdress with wide fields or a visor covering the face and neck of a child from aggressive sunlight.

Doctors are sure that proper skin care in the summer season guarantees the baby good health and an excellent mood throughout the entire period of the holidays. Adhering to simple recommendations, you can provide him with outdoor activities in the fresh air without health risks.
