In summer, strong sunlight and ultraviolet radiation will damage the baby's skin. It's easy for the baby to get sunburn when going out. Parents must do a good job of sunscreen for the baby. The commonly used sunscreen tools are sunscreen, sun umbrella, etc. someone will ask whether babies can use sunscreen? The higher the sun protection index, the better? Next, I will make up a small answer for you one by one.
The higher the infant sunscreen index, the better it is. No, the lower the infant sunscreen index, you can use SPF15 sunscreen. The SPF value of the infant sunscreen should be between 15-30. It is not recommended to use the sunscreen with high SPF, because the higher the SPF, the greater the skin irritation! The sunscreen with high SPF value (such as spf50) has strong prick on the baby's skin Exciting, it's better not to buy.
The best SPF of baby sunscreen is SPF 15-30. SPF value of sunscreen is not SPF intensity index. SPF value X10 represents the effective sunscreen time! For example, SPF 15x10 = 150 minutes, that is to say, it can effectively protect the baby for more than 2 hours. There is no question about playing in a circle in the community! If you are going to take your baby to play at the seaside for half a day, you can choose SPF 30.
Which kind of good baby sunscreen is physical sunscreen? Sunscreen is mainly divided into chemical sunscreen and physical sunscreen. The former is reflected light and the latter is absorbed light. Products with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide on their ingredients are physical sun protection products. For babies, physical sunscreen is safer. It does not need to be absorbed by the skin, but forms a 'protective film' on the surface of the skin to reflect ultraviolet rays. Therefore, it is not irritating to the skin and can be used safely for sensitive skin. In addition, the sunscreen with both UVA and UVB protection should be selected, and the sunscreen specially designed for the baby should be selected, which can protect both UVA and UVB at the same time. SPF and PA refer to the parameters of UV defense capability, SPF is the UVB defense index, PA is the UVA defense index, the higher the index, the stronger the UV defense capability.
Precautions for infant sun protection
1. When a baby is a few months old, they usually put the baby in the cart. But Baoma knows that the trolley is only about one meter away from the ground, and the sunlight reflected from the ground is closer to the baby, which is easy to cause damage to the baby. Baoma had better avoid going out during the high temperature at noon.
2. Generally, parents think that wearing light colored clothes will cool down a bit. Not necessarily, red can absorb a lot of ultraviolet rays, and other colors are relatively weak, so the sun protection effect of wearing red in summer is better than other colors.
3. Baoma should prepare long-term sunscreen for her baby. The right way to apply sunscreen to her baby is to wipe it well. If the baby sweats or gets wet, she should wipe it again. It's best to rub it once in two or three hours.
4. Less than six months old baby had better not use sunscreen, try not to let the baby directly exposed to the sun. If you really want to go out, you can put on your baby's clothes and hat, and use the sun umbrella.
