We have all seen the newspaper stories connected with too much sun tanning and burnt children on the beach. Unfortunately it is a lot more impotant than that. Parents worldwide are allowing their kids to play in the sun with no protection at all.
The long term and not so long term effect of this is that teenagers are contracting skin cancer at an alarming speed. This can be fatal if not treated in its infancy and more often than not it is entirely preventable.
Education is vital and we all need to be conscious of just what the sun will do to our skin. Not just in the case of children. Macho men go on the beach and will not apply sun creams as it does not fit in with their image.
Older folk think that as they have had a lifetime of sun worship without protection then their body is used to the sun so will not develop problems. Mums apply cream to the kids but do not think they need it.
The fact of the matter is that we all need to use proper sun protection and teach our kids the proper use of lotions They also require to have a knowledge of the consequences of not doing so.
Many beaches now have patrols and these people have one focus in life and that is to notice the first signs of burning and to teach beach users on the dangers they face. Having passed on this practical information many people continue to ignore the warnings.
Proper sun protection does not need to be costly and when you think about the possible results of not using it then I think that we should all use a bit more common sense and attempt to guard our familys from excrutiating treatments, disfigurement and possible death.
