Surprising Sun Protection Facts for Spring

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - March 22, 2016 - PRLog -- If your kids are anything like our kids, you can probably instantly tell when they've ingested a teaspoon of sugar, not to mention an entire Easter basket filled with chocolate. They're going to get enough sugary treats at school, at church and from the grandparents. Why not do something a little different to surprise them this Easter?

After a long winter, children's skin isn't used to being in the bright sunlight. In fact, just 15 minutes under the spring sun can lead to sunburn. According to the CDC, the prevalence of sunburn is surprisingly not higher in the Sunbelt states, which stretch across the southern U.S. In those areas, the population is more accustomed to covering up and slathering on sunscreen. It's often individuals in northern states who don't take proper precautions because they feel safer from the sun's harmful rays.

That's not the case, however. Even farther away from the equator, the spring sun can lead to sunburn if you're not protected. As your skin is exposed to the sun, melanin forms, which protects your skin from the sun. Skin that's been hidden away all winter has less melanin and requires more protection from UV rays.

Instead of filling Easter baskets with sweet treats, fill them with sun protection that will keep kids healthy and safe throughout the season.
