The sun is beneficial for health, but excessive sun exposure accelerates skin ageing and increases the risk of skin cancer. Effective sun protection is essential for all skin types.
Babies, children, damaged or allergic skin all require specific sunscreens with a high SPF.
An internet user’s question: What is the best sun protection factor for baby skin?
Up to eighteen months old, you are strongly recommended to keep your baby out of the sun. However when exposure cannot be avoided, you should use a product with SPF 50+ that will provide sufficient protection against UVA rays. Up to the age of 3, you should use mineral-based sun creams (not ones with chemical filters).
