It’s finally summertime!
Summer is a time for vacations, fun, and celebrations. The kids are out of school, and the weather is warm. But before you can enjoy lazy days at the park or pool, you have to get dressed—and that includes your kids. Naturally, dressing them in summer outfits is a delightful experience. Choosing the right materials, layers, and combinations for your kids' summer clothes will ensure they stay safe and comfortable under the sun, whether they are at summer camp, summer school, or playing summer sports.

Importance of Sun Protection
Enjoying time outdoors is good for our mental and physical health. However, when out with your children, it is important to protect them from sunrays on sunny and cloudy days. Every sunburn increases a person’s risk of having skin cancer later in life. Practicing sun safety can prevent skin aging and cancer.
The sun produces two types of ultraviolet (UV) rays, UVA and UVB, that are responsible for most sunburns. These rays are strongest between 11 am and 3 pm, making this the most dangerous time to be exposed to the sun. While melanin in darker skin tones can help protect against sun damage and sunburn, it's not completely impervious to UV rays. People with darker skin tones, including Black and Hispanic individuals, can experience severe sunburns and sun damage, leading to hyperpigmentation, age spots, and wrinkles. All skin types, regardless of color, are at risk for sun damage.
