Family vacations are here! Finally, time to relax, have fun and create unforgettable memories together. But for everything to go smoothly, a little preparation doesn't hurt. Here is our checklist for a great vacation, with particular attention to sun protection for your little ones thanks to our super cool anti-UV swimsuits.
1. Protect your children's skin
Your children's skin is soft and sensitive, especially when exposed to UV rays. To avoid sunburn and keep your skin healthy, nothing better than our anti-UV swimsuits. They are not only ultra-protective (up to 98% of UV rays blocked) but also super comfortable and elegant. Your kids will love them!
2. Sunscreen: don’t forget it!
Even with our swimsuits, it is essential to put sunscreen on exposed body parts. Opt for a sunscreen with a high protection factor, ideally SPF 50+, and remember to reapply it every two hours, especially after swimming. Our favorite: the 1,2,3 soleil range from Ouate Paris ( 🪸 clean for algae and corals)
3. Hats and sunglasses
For maximum protection, add a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to your little ones' outfit. They will not only look amazing, but will also be well protected from the sun. Our favorite: the Ki Et La glasses (pretty and super durable!)
4. Hydration
With the sun and the fun, we sometimes forget to drink water. Make sure your children drink it regularly to avoid dehydration. Always carry a reusable water bottle and remind them to drink often.
5. First aid kit
Little injuries happen quickly when you're having fun! A well-equipped first aid kit is essential (you can find them in pharmacies). If you want to do it yourself, don't forget bandages, disinfectants, compresses, basic medications and a soothing cream for possible sunburns.
6. Games and activities
To make your days at the beach even more fun, bring beach toys, books, portable board games or coloring books. You'll be ready for any situation, whether it's sunny or cloudy. Our favorite: Quut toys (100% recyclable and sustainable)
7. Meal preparation
Healthy and delicious snacks to recharge your batteries (and easy to prepare!). Think about fresh fruit, cereal bars and dried fruit. Also pack sandwiches and salads for easy-to-go and delicious meals. The ideal is not to expose yourself between noon and 2 p.m. and to have lunch in the shade (obviously).
9. Respect your children’s pace
Vacations are also about rest. Respect your children's schedule by allowing them to take naps and go to bed at a reasonable time. A rested child is a happy child ready to have fun (we warned you…).
10. Be flexible and have fun!
Vacations are for relaxing and having fun. Be flexible, leave room for the unexpected and enjoy every moment with your family. After all, these memories are the most precious!
