An ongoing hot issue

WE’VE waited all year for summer to come and want to make the most of it. But what about our children and their sensitive skin which needs particular care when the sun shines or even when the skies are clouded over?

Dr Bernadette Carr is the medical director of VHI healthcare. She says no matter how much sun is poking through the clouds, we need to ensure the younger generation is protected at all times.

“Children’s skin is very sensitive to UV rays and all children, whether they tan easily or not, should be protected against the sun’s rays,” she says.
