Preparing for a vacation is always pleasant chores, and when going to the sea with a child, it is especially important to foresee everything to the smallest detail. Once you’ve chosen your travel itinerary, booked your hotel and packed your bags, it’s time to consider sunscreen.
Sun protection for the little ones is an extremely important detail. Whether you have chosen the hot tropics or the middle zone of Russia as a holiday destination, a special product for delicate baby skin is necessary in any case. For children under 3 years old, being in direct sunlight is generally contraindicated: such babies do not yet produce a sufficient amount of melanin that protects the skin, therefore, ultraviolet radiation is especially dangerous for them.
Older children can already enjoy relaxing in the hot sun, but their skin is also vulnerable to harmful radiation and is prone to burns. To avoid these troubles, which can cause unnecessary worries to both the child and the parents, it is necessary to use products with UVA and UVB filters (they protect against long and short ultraviolet waves).

For especially restless children (rejoice, parents!) There is a special trick: a sunscreen that will show which areas of the skin have already been treated and which have not. If the child cannot sit still for a second, a problem-free application will provide a colored, waterproof SPF-30 spray, the mint green tint of which will disappear after complete absorption.
Another parent’s assistant in the scorching sun – Play and Swim lotion SPF-30 specially designed for active beach recreation. It contains panthenol, a special component that creates a waterproof protective skin barrier.
However, even when using sunscreens, there are a few rules to follow that are suitable not only for children, but also for adults. First of all, it is better to refuse to visit the beach during the hours from 12:00 to 16:00 – at this time the sun is especially active and “evil”. You need to use protection even if you are not in direct sunlight. And remember, any sunscreen, even the strongest, should be renewed every two hours.
