Take Care of Your Baby with the Right Sunscreen
In summer, we love to enjoy the sun's rays while taking baby for a walk. While the sun has essential benefits for bone growth thanks to vitamin D, it is strongly recommended to protect your child's skin from the sun by having them wear a hat, sunglasses, and by avoiding outings between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m.

Sun protection is a must to shield baby from UV rays, which can be very harmful and endanger the child's health. Which sunscreen should you use for a 10-month-old baby, for example? Whatever the age, a protection factor of 50+ creates an effective barrier against harmful rays.
Maximum protection factor to shield baby from UV rays
As a parent, it is important to be aware that repeated prolonged sun exposure and sunburns can have serious skin consequences in adulthood.
Before 6 months, it is recommended to avoid any sun exposure. Shade remains the best protection for infants.
After 6 months, a cream with an optimal protection factor of 50+ should be applied generously to the child's entire face and body. If the child goes swimming, the cream should be reapplied regularly, once every hour.
A sunscreen spray can be convenient for both little ones and adults. It allows you to spray the product even if the cap is upside down.
All the tips for caring for your child's skin after sun exposure
In addition to sun protection, it is important to have your child wear a hat, a T-shirt, and sunglasses, even for a 10-month-old baby. Walks are not recommended during nap times, between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m.
After any potential sun exposure, the child should take a bath to remove all traces of cream. A moisturizing cream can recreate a protective film on the skin. Ideally, use an after-sun lotion that is non-sticky and non-greasy.
If summer means beach and swimming, it also means the return of mosquitoes. Our after-sun lotion is an excellent 2-in-1, protecting both against insect bites and intensely moisturizing skin that tends to dry out. Perfect for avoiding the need to apply multiple products to your child's fragile and sensitive skin!
