The skin of babies and children is young and defenceless, surely higher at risk than that of an adults, which is why it is essential to be very careful about exposing them to the sun, choosing the early morning hours or late afternoon when UV rays are not as strong.

Furthermore, it is essential that they be protected with sun filters targeted just for them. In other words, it is fine for children to be on the beach, but with proper protection. It must not be forgotten that even a slight sunburn in the first years of life stays imprinted in the deep layers of the skin like a scar, ever ready to present itself again should further sun over-exposure occur.
