We take all the precautions that we can, you could say to the extreme. [My daughter] wears a hat whenever she goes out, she wears sunscreen 24/7, she has indoor recess because school hours are peak uv index times, she has a portable sun canopy for our yard (there is a tip on curejm page with a link), we use rit guard in the laundry to help with sun protection in her clothes, we avoid the sun at peak hours....we were very challenged with this at our Make a Wish trip to Disney...we walked on the shady side of the street, we went to the shows during peak UV hours and rode the rides after, we got a late start every day so we could be at Disney during the dark, and if the sun was at [my daughter’s] face while in the stroller, we pulled the stroller backwards, we go swimming at indoor pools, and she stays home from outdoor field trips. Extreme yes but I must do this for [my child], someday she will thank me.

I used to wear the strong sun cream but only in very hot weather. I would get very annoyed about all the sun protections and never felt it was important.
Now I wear neutrogena moisturiser for my face and an all over body moisturiser. However this is simply for dry skin and if there are any red patches around my nose. The brand name products can be just as good as long as they are dermatological tested. They also are one less thing that kids with JDMS
can use but not feel quite so 'different'. Turning us into slippery
snowmen isn't great for the confidence, though I appreciate in
severe cases it can be necessary.

Sunscreen in the morning and reapplied at recess during school and a hat.
