Care for Child’s Skin Health

Sun-Safe Kids: Tips for Protecting Their Skin | KIMSHEALTH Hospital - Umm Al Hassam

With the scorching heat and humidity, it's essential to prioritize your child's skin health as they return to school. Here are some practical tips:

  1. Sun Protection: Shield your child from harmful UV rays with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50 or higher). Apply it generously 20 minutes before going outdoors and reapply every 2-4 hours. Opt for lightweight, breathable clothing and wide-brimmed hats for added protection.
  2. Hydration: Encourage your child to drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and prevent dehydration. Carry a reusable water bottle and remind them to take sips regularly.
  3. Moisturization: Keep your child's skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer suitable for their skin type. This helps prevent dryness, irritation, and allergies.
  4. Cooling Measures: Dress your child in loose-fitting, breathable clothing to allow their skin to breathe and prevent heat rash. Encourage them to take cool showers or baths to cool down after playing outdoors.
  5. Hygiene and Prevention: Teach your child the importance of proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of germs. Avoid sharing personal items like towels and clothing.
  6. Seek Medical Attention: If you notice any signs of skin irritation, allergies, or sunburn, consult a dermatology specialist in Ummalhassam for appropriate treatment and care.

By following these tips, you can help protect your child's skin from the harsh effects of the summer weather and ensure their overall well-being.
