Is sunscreen suitable for half-year-old babies?

It is best not to use sunscreen for half a year.

Babies under half a year old are too young and have tender skin, so it is best not to use sunscreen. If you want to go out, your mother had better choose cotton clothes with good texture, wear a sun hat or umbrella, avoid direct sunlight on your skin, and try to avoid going out at noon.

Precautions for choosing baby sunscreen:

1, pay attention to the right choice when buying sunscreen for your baby. SPF and PA refer to the parameters of anti-ultraviolet ability, SPF is the index of anti-UV-B, and PA is the index of anti-UV-A. The higher the index, the stronger the anti-ultraviolet ability.

When using sunscreen, babies should pay attention to choosing different sunscreen indexes according to different play places.

Choose SPF 15 sunscreen when walking;

Choose SPF25 sunscreen when climbing mountains or going to the seaside;

If you are going to a tourist attraction with strong sunshine, it is best to choose SPF30 sunscreen with long duration.

However, sunscreen with high SPF value (such as SPF50) is highly irritating to baby's skin, so it is best not to buy it.

2. Choose products with good moisturizing effect. At present, children's sunscreen on the market can be described as varied and uneven, ranging from a dozen dollars cheaper to one or two hundred dollars more expensive. Faced with this mixed situation, many mothers are also very upset. For the sake of children's health, many mothers also spend a lot of money to buy various skin care products for their babies. In fact, it is also skillful to choose sunscreen for your baby. It is best to choose products with good moisturizing effect.

When choosing sunscreen products for your baby, you should first look at whether the packaging and instructions of the goods are complete. It is best to choose 100% pure natural ingredients or plant extracts, and never choose sunscreen products containing chemical organic ingredients or vegetable oil. And be sure to buy sunscreen for your children.

3. Allergy test. Before buying sunscreen, the mother had better apply a little on the inside of the child's forearm. After 48 hours, if there is no local reaction, it can only be applied to other parts. This can prevent children from having allergies when using certain products.

According to research data, before 18 years old, 80% of people's life was damaged by ultraviolet rays. Severe sunburn will double the risk of skin cancer in the future. Therefore, while enjoying the sunshine, parents must pay attention to the baby's sun protection work. At the same time, choose the right baby sunscreen.

Precautions for the use of baby sunscreen:

1. Baby should pay special attention when using sunscreen. Don't apply too much on your hands to prevent babies who like to "eat their hands" from licking the sunscreen on the back of their hands into their mouths.

2. Although each sunscreen has a fixed SPF value, after the baby perspires or plays with water, with the evaporation of sweat and water, the effect will not last that long. So it is best to apply it every 2 hours, and dry the sweat and water before each application.

3. When the child comes back from going out, wash the sunscreen on his body and face with warm or slightly hot water. You can use a gentle children's bath. After washing, apply special lotion for infants and young children in time. In order to reduce the skin temperature and relieve the skin redness caused by sun exposure.

Warm reminder:

1, many young mothers think that the awning of the stroller can block the sun when they take their children out, but after the sun shines on the ground, it will also reflect on the ground, and the baby sits in the stroller, which is closer to the ground and receives the reflected light from the ground the strongest, which is also the most harmful to the baby's skin. Therefore, experts suggest that when taking the baby out in summer, try to hold the child in your arms and don't put it in the stroller.

2. The best time for children to go out in summer is before 10 in the morning and after 4 pm, and the sunshine in these two periods is not very strong. At this time, sunbathing can not only enhance the adaptability of the skin, but also avoid the damage of strong sunlight to the skin. But this doesn't mean that you don't have to take any sunscreen measures when you go out during these two periods. Sunscreen must be used.

Many people think that children can enjoy sunbathing safely as long as they are coated with sunscreen. Actually, it's not. Sunscreen can only reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin. Even if you put sunscreen on your body and face before going out, try to avoid long exposure to the sun. Don't believe those slogans of "protection lasts for 8 hours" unless the baby doesn't sweat or touch a drop of water within 8 hours after applying sunscreen.
