There’s lots to think about when choosing a sunscreen for your child. If they’re a baby, you’ll need a gentle formula that’s suitable for their very sensitive skin, while older children may need a formula that’s also sand and water resistant. It’ll also need to be in a high SPF and offer broad-spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB rays.
Then there’s the texture. If you’ve ever tried to apply sunscreen to a wriggly toddler or resistant child, you’ll know that thick, greasy lotions can be a total nightmare, while fast-absorbing mists and sprays can make life so much easier. Moreover, the formula also needs to be suitable for sensitive skin, especially if your child is prone to eczema or allergies.
Feels like a lot to ask? Yes, but at La Roche-Posay we understand the demands a sunscreen needs to answer. That’s why we have dedicated dermatologist-recommended formulas for babies and children with minimal ingredients in a variety of textures.
Read on to find out the importance of finding the right sunscreen for your little one and how La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios range can help.
