Tips to protect your child's skin from the sun via @BDCFT
Children are more sensitive to sunburn than adults, so it’s important to protect them. Sun can burn even when it’s cloudy ☁ and children don’t have to be on holiday to get too much sun. Find tips to protect your child’s skin: bit.ly/3xzoc3a @BdcftSNs @BdcftHVs
