According to dermatologists and pediatricians, children and babies should not be exposed to the sun's rays before the age of 4 years! Everyone knows, especially parents, that children's skin is thin and fragile. During summer, as well as t-shirts, anti-UV cominations, sunglasses and hats, sun cream is a must-have to protect your little ones from the irreversible effects of the sun, such as: painful sun burn, sun intolerance, skin ageing, weakened immune defenses, skin cancer...
Children's sun cream should be reapplied a minimum of every two hours, after bathing or after drying off. And do not hesitate to be generous with how much you use, better safe than sorry! The particularity of children's sun cream is that it is specially adapted to thir skin and is generally formulated with as many mineral sun filters as possible.
In the majority of cases, children's sun cream has the highest sun protection factor possible! Such as the 1st Mineral Cream from Uriage. This baby sun cream guarantees very high protection against UVA and UVB rays and is formulated with 100% mineral filters! Hypoallergenic and waterproof, it is perfume, alcohol and preservative free.
Another product which has brought together parents worried about their children's health is the Sun Spray Kids SPF50 from Eucerin. This sun protection spray, which is suitable for children older than 3 years, protects their skin against sun burn thanks to biological cellular protection and reduces the risk of long-term damage caused by UV rays.
children's sun protection is, therefore, a must-have to give your children a peacful holiday. Remember, do not expose your children to the sun during the hottest part of the day, between 12pm and 4pm. also, sun cream does not offer total protection, for very young children, we strongly recommend wearing a t-shirt and hat!
