Sunscreen and Kid’s Sun-Safe Outfits for Spring Break

As the warm weather of spring break draws near, so does the need for sun safety. Whether you're headed to the beach, hitting the trails for a hike, or taking a road trip, it's imperative to plan for sun protection, so your fun in the sun doesn't turn into a sunburn. Kids are especially sensitive to the sun's ultraviolet rays, so if you're traveling with kids, it's essential to make sure they have adequate protection like sunscreen.

Here are tips for staying safe in the sun this spring break: 

1. Cover Up With Clothing

Wearing loose, long-sleeved shirts and pants made of lightweight fabric can help protect your skin from the sun's rays. That's why children's clothing that offers SPF protection is also a great option. Our company has you covered with sun-protective playwear that's perfect for the beach, hiking, or car rides. 

2. Use Sunscreen

As your kids are playing and exploring, it's vital to apply sunscreen regularly. Sunblocks with SPF 30 or higher are best and should be applied to all exposed skin for at least 20 minutes before heading outdoors. Reapply every two hours or more often if kids are swimming or sweating. Choose from our collection of natural, non-toxic sunscreens that are specifically designed for kids. 

3. Wear a Hat

A brimmed hat is a great way to protect your face, neck, and head from the sun. If your kids are going to be in the water, opt for a water-resistant hat that won't be washed away. Ensure the hat fits appropriately, so it won't blow away if there's a breeze. We have plenty of stylish and fun hats to choose from.

4. Stay in the Shade

Whenever possible, spend time in areas that offer plenty of shade, like under a beach umbrella or a tree in the park. With kids, it's a good idea to take regular shade breaks so their skin can escape the sun for a little bit. Plan activities that alternate between time in the sun and time in the shade. Go for a walk on the recreation grounds in the morning or evening when the sun is lower in the sky and there's more natural shade.

5. Use an Umbrella or Beach Tent 

Kids can get easily overwhelmed by the sun, so a beach umbrella or tent is a sensible way to give them some respite from the sun's rays. We offer an array of colorful beach umbrellas that provide plenty of sun protection and make it easy to find your spot on the beach. Ensuring your kids have a shady relaxing spot will help them stay relaxed and comfortable all spring break.
