What are the common problems in using children's sunscreen? There are many, such as when is the best time to use it and how to apply it to the baby. These are all very important. The following is a detailed introduction so that mothers can have more understanding of this.

Common questions about using sunscreen for children:

1. When is the best time to apply sunscreen?

A: It takes a certain amount of time for sunscreen to be absorbed by the skin, so it is more appropriate to apply it half an hour before going out. And be generous when using it, applying it to all surfaces of the skin. Children can get sunburned easily, especially in the strong summer sun. What's worse, you may not be able to detect the damage in time because the symptoms of sunburn usually appear at night or the next morning. In the sun, even if your child's skin just turns pink, the damage has already begun quietly without you realizing it.

2. Can I use adult sunscreen on my baby?

A: Babies should pay attention to sun protection when doing outdoor sports. Under normal circumstances, you can just put a sun hat or a parasol on your baby, or you can choose some sunscreens specially for children, but never use adult sunscreens on your baby, so as not to cause burden to your child's skin. Because a baby's skin is only thinner than an adult's and its structure is the same as an adult's, there is no need to worry about any adverse reactions. However, babies with skin diseases are best to use low-irritation baby-specific sunscreen.

3. How to choose sunscreen with different indexes?

A: Mothers should choose sunscreen with different indexes according to different travel locations. Choose SPF15 sunscreen when taking a walk; choose SPF25 sunscreen when climbing a mountain or going to the beach; if you are going to a tourist attraction with strong sunlight, it is best to choose SPF30 sunscreen with a longer duration, but sunscreen with a very high SPF value (such as SPF50) is very irritating to the baby's skin, so it is best not to buy it.

4. How do babies with dermatitis use sunscreen?

A: Babies with dermatitis have extremely sensitive skin, and their condition may be aggravated when exposed to strong ultraviolet rays. Therefore, it is very necessary to apply sunscreen when going out in spring and summer. For children with dermatitis, the application method is very important. When using, you should apply moisturizer first after cleaning the skin, then apply dermatitis ointment, and then apply baby-specific sunscreen, and be sure to avoid applying around the eyes.

5. What should I do if my baby always licks the sunscreen on the back of his hand?

A: If the amount of sunscreen applied on the back of the baby's hand is relatively small, the mother does not need to worry. However, if your baby accidentally ingests a large amount of sunscreen, he or she should be taken to the hospital for treatment immediately.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the common problems in using children's sunscreen. Therefore, when applying sunscreen to children, we must pay attention to the above issues. If any problems arise during use, stop using it immediately. This will also have a good protective effect on children.
