Children's Sunscreen
what is the difference between children's sunscreens and the rest?
Children's sunscreens are designed specifically for children's sensitive skin and have some key differences compared to adult sunscreens. Their formulation usually has milder and less irritating ingredients. They have greater protection against irritation, broad-spectrum protection, water resistance and easy-to-apply texture.
what is the recommended sun protection factor (SPF) for children?
It is important to keep in mind that SPF indicates protection against UVB rays, which are responsible for causing sunburn. However, it is also crucial to choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that offers protection against UVA rays, which can cause long-term skin damage and increase the risk of skin cancer.
how should sunscreen be applied to children?
To apply sunscreen to children, it is important to select the right sunscreen, apply enough sunscreen, apply sunscreen before going outside, repeat the application every two hours, and use additional protection such as protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses.
