the right sunscreen
B. For each… type
For children: For older children e.grecommend a children's sunscreen with a protection index of more than 30, depending on their skin type, while for the little ones prefer a sunscreen of more than 50 or with total protection (it is written on the total block or ecran total package). To make it easy for your child to apply sunscreen if they don't want to, try sunscreen sprays or creams in colorful packaging, which kids will find more fun, and try to make the process like a game.
For those with acne: In case that your skin suffers from allergies, acne or rosacea, you should avoid products containing preservatives or fragrances, as well as those containing PABA or oxybenzone.
For those with dry skin: Dry skin can benefit from moisturizing action provided by the sunscreen. However, there are also more specialized products. Many moisturizing ingredients are used in sunscreens, such as lanolin, oils or dimethicone. Moisturizing sunscreens usually come in cream or lotion form. Look for relevant terms on their label (eg hydration, moisturizing effect, etc.).
Useful tips for everyone:
- Avoid exposure to the sun during the hours when solar radiation is most intense, between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
- Use a sunscreen with a protection index suitable for your skin type according to what we mentioned above.
- Don't forget to reapply your sunscreen every time you sweat or dive into the sea. With sweat and water, the sunscreen is removed and provides less protection.
- Before applying sunscreen wipe your skin. Sunscreen on dry skin is absorbed better.
