Outdoor play is a wonderful way for children to stay active, explore, and have fun. Remember to protect your child’s skin from the sun whenever they’re outside, even on cloudy days.
Follow the SunSmart 5S rule to help protect your children from the sun:
👚 Slip on sun-protective clothing
🧴 Slop on broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen
🧢 Slap on a wide-brimmed hat
🌳 Seek shade, especially between 11.00am and 3.00pm
🕶️ Slide on wraparound sunglasses
No sunscreen can provide 100% protection. It should always be used alongside other sun protection measures, such as protective clothing and seeking shade.
