Even young children need solar radiation for their health. Therefore, many parents try to take the child to the sea, taking care of his health. Being in the southern sun is not only beneficial, but also brings great joy to the little ones. But parents must take into account that delicate and very thin skin is seriously exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, it is important to choose the right sunscreen.
Small children sunbathe poorly. The mechanism by which protection against ultraviolet rays, the production of melanin, is developed, matures only by the age of three years of a child’s life. If you brought a child to the sea for the first time and his body was not prepared in advance for the trip by staying in the dim sun of the middle lane, then you need to follow the strictest safety measures: children can very quickly get sunburn or heatstroke.
The child’s first encounter with the southern sun should be planned in such a way that it takes place in the late afternoon or early morning, when the sun is not at its zenith. In the time interval from 11 to 16 hours, it is strictly forbidden to leave the child in direct sunlight! The baby’s head and body should always be covered and opened gradually. Depending on the color of the child’s skin, light or dark, he can tan faster or slower, but in any case, the baby’s skin needs special sunscreen cosmetics with the highest SPF index.
When choosing sunscreen cosmetics, experts advise giving preference to proven brands with a long history, for example, such as NIVEA. NIVEA experts, after many years of experience in laboratories, have developed a line of children’s sunscreens that will come to the aid of parents during their trip to the sea. These products will protect the delicate skin of babies both on the beach and in the water.
Depending on your baby’s skin type, he or she needs to find the right sunscreen. The lightest-skinned children need the highest protection factor, SPF50 +, dark-skinned or tanned children need a slightly smaller protection factor – SPF 30.

For the lightest baby skin, NIVEA has developed a product with the highest SPF 50+. This remedy must also be used if the child’s skin is not the lightest, but for the first time he found himself in the bright southern sun. In the first days of a child’s stay on the seashore will provide maximum protection against the negative effects of ultraviolet rays. As your child acquires a tan, the product with the highest sun protection factor can be changed to SPF 30. For children with very light and freckled skin, experts recommend using the product with the highest sun protection factor during their entire stay at sea. NIVEA SUN Kids sunscreen lotion, in addition to the highest degree of protection, also has water-resistant properties, so a child under its protection can play both on the shore and in the water without fear of burns.

Regular sunscreen can be difficult to apply because the child does not sit still for a second, and it can be difficult for parents to apply sunscreen evenly over the entire body of the child. A colored sunscreen spray can help solve this problem. Thanks to the mint green color, which disappears after a few seconds after applying the product, you can always understand which areas of the baby’s skin are not yet protected and apply the spray evenly. SPF 30 allows the child to stay in the sun even in hot southern summers. The spray is water-resistant, so it will protect the child both on the shore and in the water.
