Sunscreen, moisturizer and a topical antioxidant every day are a good start to a good skin care routine
When outside, protect your skin from damaging UV rays with a fresh layer of sunscreen at least once every two hours
Just 10 to 30 minutes of sunlight provides vitamin D, boosts your mood and may even help you sleep better
Babies shouldn’t wear sunscreen before 6 months old, so opt for shade and cooler parts of the day for outdoor fun time
Wait until they’re at least 6 months old before your little one takes their first dunk
Having darker skin tones doesn’t automatically offer protection from the sun
