Quality sunscreen for children is one of the things that every parent should think about every season. To protect your child's skin from the harmful effects of the sun's rays and prevent possible burns it is advisable to invest in high-quality sunscreen products for children, which are high in factor.
On the market, there is a wide selection of children's sunscreen products and because of this, a person may find it difficult to choose the right sunscreen product for their child.
The American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend the use of sunscreen for babies under 6 months, as they should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Other types of sunscreen can be used for babies. They are created with the lightest and cleanest formulas and usually contain a small amount of chemicals compared to adult sunscreen.
Because baby's skin can't produce melanin, it makes babies even more vulnerable to ultraviolet rays. For them is recommended specialized sunscreen with an SPF factor of not less than 50+ 50+. It is advisable to apply sunscreen for babies before each going outside, even when the sun is not very strong.
When choosing a baby sunscreen it is good to pay attention to the ingredients of the product. Choose a sunscreen that has child-friendly filters that are neutral to the skin.
Also rely on creams and milks rather than sprays and aerosols, which can be dangerous for children's lungs that are still developing.
In addition sunscreens provide a more even layer after being applied to the skin than sprays.
Other substances that are most often found in baby sunscreen productsare almond oil, vitamins A and E, chamomile extract.
For children over 6 months can be used different sunscreen products, when having high factor between 30+ and 50+.
Dermatologists recommend that parents choose sunscreen products for their childrenthat have a SPF over 30+. In general, the choice of sunscreen with a factor of SPF 50+ for young children is not strictly mandatory, but is highly recommended.
It is important to mention that no matter what the factor of a sunscreen for babies and children and what brand it is, it can not block 100% of the sun's rays, but simply reduces their effect.
The first and most important rule is to avoid the hours of the day when the sun is strongest, which is between 11 and 17 hours. During these hours, babies should be in the shade. This is because in these hours UVA and UVB rays are the most intense and even sunscreen products with the highest factor could not block them completely.
If you need to be outside with your child when the sun is at its hottest point, make sure your child is in the shade. Make sure the the stroller sunshade is with UV protection.
When it comes to protecting children's skin from the sun, not only is the type of sunscreen used, but it is also important when it is applied to the skin and for how long.
The rule for applying sunscreen is to do it 30 minutes before going out in the sun. Because the action of sunscreen products usually begins 15 minutes after application.
Sunscreen products should be applied to all exposed parts of the child's body and used in large quantities. It is recommended that you should reapply the selected sunscreen every time your child enters water or wipes with a towel, which is an average of every 2 hours. The reason for this is that water has the ability to remove some of the substances contained in sunscreen products.
Accordingly, once the child comes out of the water, the sunscreen will not provide the necessary level of protection for the skin.
