Jeanne is the mother of two children aged 3 and 5. Despite the fact that both have sensitive skin, Vanya and Lesha enjoy the sun and can safely play on the beach being grateful to their mother. Here is her story.
SITUATION
Jeanne, how do you feel about the sun?
I’m lucky: we live near the sea. I have always believed that the sun is good for both health and well-being … Even after the birth of two children, it was not a question for me to change my lifestyle: I took them with me to the beach almost from the first months. But at the same time, I knew that my children had sensitive skin, and I always took safety measures so that they would not burn.
SYMPTOMS
How do you protect them?
To minimize any risk, I use SPF 50 sunscreen and assess the situation wisely. First, no sun during the hottest part of the day. Children must wear a cotton panama hat and T-shirt. You should also apply sunscreen regularly (usually three times a day). However, the most important thing for me is when they play on the beach. Because kids love to play in the water, I have to rub cream on them every 10 minutes, which takes a lot of time.
SOLUTION
Will you continue to follow these rules?
Yes, I will continue to try to protect them from the sun as much as possible, but I’m tired of buying cream every two days! So I decided to follow the pharmacist’s advice and switch to a waterproof sunscreen.
