Our most valuable assets are undoubtedly our children. If we pay attention to the fact that the food we choose for our child is directly proportional to his health, we should show the same sensitivity in all kinds of products we choose, investigate all the details, and pay attention to whether there are any side effects. As it is known, summer has come and we have entered the period when the sun's rays have the highest effect. We have to protect ourselves from the harmful effects of the sun and decide what is best for our child.
A topic that has been debated for a long time: Should kids use sunscreen or not?
It is possible to collect sunscreens with various contents under two headings. Provide physical and chemical protection.
Providers of physical protection:
Those that provide physical protection are sunscreens offered to consumers under the name of mineral. These protectors, which are absorbed by the skin when applied, form a layer on the skin like a white veil, and this layer reflects the sun's rays back like a mirror. She can't go beyond pretending to be wearing a white t-shirt.
Chemical protection:
In fact, all kinds of preservatives contain extremely complex chemicals, which change when they meet the sun and are absorbed by the skin. So it has more disadvantages than benefits.
Experts state that they have serious findings on the negative effects of sunscreens, which have a low chemical structure and low mineral content, on the sexual development of children. They point out that sunscreens that have the effect of estrogen hormone can be absorbed by the skin and disrupt the body balance, which can cause early puberty.
Ways to protect your child from the sun:
Do not take your child out between 11 and 16 hours when the sun is most effective. If you must, opt for shadows.
When you go out, wear a hat that will shade your neck, neck and face.
Wear UV-filtered swimsuits when entering the sea or pool.
Choose organic / ecological certified products.
Avoid products containing parapen.
When going out, wear thin, cotton and light-colored clothing that will not expose your body.
If you have to use sunscreen with chemical content, choose the ones with low factor, because the higher the number of factors, the higher the chemical density.
Make sure that the preservatives you prefer are not dust and spray.
