Many people think that the sun’s rays in the velvet season can no longer have such a negative effect on the skin of a child as in summer. However, compared to the skin of an adult, the skin of a child is thinner and more vulnerable, weakly synthesizes melanin (natural protective pigment) and, regardless of the season, when exposed to direct sunlight, is more susceptible to the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation. Specialized sunscreens with a high degree of protection will help protect delicate baby skin from sunburn and overheating.
Why is it important to protect your baby’s skin from UV radiation?
In order for the holidays to bring positive emotions to children and their parents, it is worth taking care of protecting the skin from exposure to broad spectrum UV rays in advance. Remember that the immunity of the child’s epidermis is formed before the age of 12 — before this age, children’s skin is highly sensitive, most susceptible to ultraviolet radiation and quickly burns. Sunscreens with a maximum degree of protection SPF 50+ will come to the rescue.
How to choose a good sunscreen for a child?
Children’s sunscreens are distinguished by their hypoallergenic composition, waterproof natural formulas based on caring, softening, moisturizing ingredients and the presence of safe UV-absorbing sunscreens. Sunscreens for the little ones should also be free of alcohol, chemical fragrances, preservatives and parabens.
How to use children’s sunscreen correctly?
- Before using sunscreen on a child’s skin, first test the composition for allergenicity: apply a little product to the bend of the baby’s elbow — if after 15-20 minutes redness and itching do not occur at the site of use, feel free to apply the product all over the body.
- Apply a generous amount of baby tanning product 20-30 minutes before going outside directly: this is necessary so that the product has time to be absorbed and form a protective film on the surface of the child’s skin.
- Pay special attention to open and protruding areas of the body: face, shoulders, back, chest, knees and do not forget about the ears and parting on the head.
- Every 2 hours and after swimming, renew the protective layer of sunscreen — over time, as well as after contact with water, the photostability of SPF filters decreases and loses effectiveness.
- Be sure to wash off the remnants of sunscreen from the baby’s skin upon returning home, after a shower, apply a moisturizing nourishing cream to restore the hydro-lipid protective mantle. For the delicate skin of a child, Lipikar Lipid Replenishing Cleansing Gel is suitable.
