Learning About Caring For Skin
As part of the Key Stage 2 PSHE National Curriculum programme of study, children are encouraged to develop a healthy lifestyle. They learn about how the body changes as they approach puberty and get older. This can include thinking about hygiene and ways of taking care of themselves. As part of the breadth of study, children are encouraged to find information and advice.
This website provides a skincare guide that suggests how children could take care of their skin. Information can be accessed on how to maintain healthy skin and avoid damage that may be caused by exposure to the sun over prolonged periods of time. There is also material on spots, their causes and myths that surround this aspect of becoming an adolescent. Detailed information on the skin and the purpose of this is given and the scientific facts.
There are also links to TV adverts and different products available that can help them make informed choices about skin care.
