READ: Teach Your Kids to Use a Sunblock NOW
The NIVEA Dolls are used to educate kids of the importance of sun screen. These dolls are special because its skin burns when exposed to the sun without the protection of NIVEA Sun. It will be packaged with the NIVEA Sun Protect & Moisture SPF 50 Body Lotion and Face Cream to keep kids protected.
How Does the Sun Change My Skin?
- Pre-cancerous (actinic keratosis) and cancerous (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma) skin lesions – due to decreases in the skin’s immune function
- Benign tumors
- Fine and coarse wrinkles
- Freckles
- Discolored areas of the skin, called mottled pigmentation
- Sallowness — a yellow discoloration of the skin
- Telangiectasias — the dilation of small blood vessels under the skin
- Elastosis — the destruction of the elastic and collagen tissue (causing lines, wrinkles and sagging skin)
The sun’s rays make us feel good, and in the short term, make us look good. But our love affair isn’t a two-way street. Exposure to sun causes most of the wrinkles and age spots on our faces. Consider this: One woman at age 40 who has protected her skin from the sun actually has the skin of a 30-year-old! That’s why using sunblock is a must!
We often associate a glowing complexion with good health, but skin color obtained from being in the sun – or in a tanning booth – actually accelerates the effects of aging and increases your risk for developing skin cancer.
Sun exposure causes most of the skin changes that we think of as a normal part of aging. Over time, the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light damages the fibers in the skin called elastin. When these fibers break down, the skin begins to sag, stretch, and lose its ability to go back into place after stretching. The skin also bruises and tears more easily — taking longer to heal. So while sun damage to the skin may not be apparent when you’re young, it will definitely show later in life.
My son Geof loves lotion so teaching him to apply sunscreen everyday is easy. I just tell him it’s lotion with super powers because it protects him from the sun! #NiveaSunProtects sunblock
