The sun's rays are needed to make vitamin D Your

vitamin D intake from UV B rays from the sun.
The role of vitamin D is crucial for the health
of your bones and your immune system, especially
for protection against skin cancer. Bad news

the majority of Canadians have vitamin D
deficiency - lack of sun in winter and protective
screens in summer.  Although sunscreen gel
based protects against sunburn during prolonged
exposure, it blocks the production of vitamin D
daily.

Day at the beach Use common sense in the
sun! Although a short exposure is beneficial for
your health, a long walk on the beach in the
strong sun exposes your skin to serious
dangers! Prolonged exposure to the sun creates
visible damage to the skin and other more vicious
ones UVB rays cause sunburns immediately and UVA
rays cause premature aging of the skin in the
long term. What's more, when the skin is exposed
to the sun for too long, too often, or too
intensely, both types of UV rays create skin
cancer.  The incidence of melanoma (aggressive
skin cancer) has tripled over the past 35 years
and yet the general population does not seem to
care.

This summer, enjoy the sun safely by respecting
the following criteria Cover up a sweater for
the shoulders, shorts for the thighs, and a hat
covering the neck, ears, and face. Sit in the
shade avoid long naps in the sun at all
costs! Plan your long outings in the sun before
11 a.m. and after 2 p.m. Avoid sunburn when the
first three criteria cannot be met, use a good
sunscreen of minimum Sunscreen SPF 50. Either

How, when, and where to use sunscreen gel For
a sunscreen gel based to do its job well, it must
be used correctly. Make sure that Apply
sunscreen every time your child is out in the
sun. For best results, apply sunscreen gel 15-30
minutes before your child is out in the sun. Be
generous when applying sunscreen Dermatologists
recommend applying one drop when covering areas
of skin that will be exposed to the
sun. Apply Sunscreen Gel SPF 50 frequently, about
every 2 hours. Reapply sunscreen after your child
has been sweating or swimming. Apply a waterproof
sunscreen if your child will be swimming or in
contact with water. Water reflects and
intensifies the sun's rays therefore, children
need lasting protection. Waterproof sunscreens
can last up to 80 minutes in water, and some are
sweat resistant too. But even if the sunscreen
label says its waterproof, be sure to reapply the
sunscreen when your child gets out of the water.
