How to choose baby sunscreen
After the baby was born, they all grow up in the hands of their parents. Some parents will take their baby out to play on weekends. At this time, their parents must pay attention to it. It's good to take their baby out to play, but don't let the baby's skin get sunburned. Because the baby's skin is porcelain muscle, a little improper care will have a serious impact. If you want to take your baby to outdoor activities, you can choose a suitable sunscreen for your baby. Here's how to choose a sunscreen for your baby!
1. Choose the right sunscreen for your baby. SPF and PA are the parameters of UV defense ability, SPF is the UV-B defense index, PA is the UV-A defense index, the higher the index, the stronger the UV defense ability.
When using sunscreen, your baby should choose different SPF according to different places of play: SPF15 when walking; SPF25 when climbing mountains or going to the seaside; SPF30 when going to scenic spots with strong sunlight, you'd better choose sunscreen with long duration. However, sunscreen with high SPF value (such as spf50) has strong irritation to baby's skin, so it's better not to buy it.
2. Allergy test. Before buying sunscreen, the mother had better put a little on the inner part of the baby's forearm. After 48 hours, the part can only be applied to other parts if there is no reaction. In this way, children can avoid allergy when using some products.
Research data show that 80% of a person's life is injured by ultraviolet rays before the age of 18. A blistering sunburn can double the risk of skin cancer later. So while enjoying the sunshine, parents must pay attention to the sun protection work of the baby. At the same time, choose the right sunscreen for your baby.
3. Choose products with good moisturizing effect. At present, on the market about children's sunscreen can be said to be multifarious, uneven, cheap have more than ten yuan, expensive also have one or two hundred yuan, in the face of this kind of good and bad situation, many mothers are also very distressed. For the sake of children's health, many mothers also spend a lot of money to buy all kinds of skin care products for their babies. In fact, choosing sunscreen for their babies is also skilful. It's best to choose products with good moisturizing effect.
When choosing sunscreen products for your baby, you should first see whether the packaging and instructions of the products are complete. It's best to choose products with 100% natural ingredients or plant extracts. Do not choose sunscreen products containing chemical organic ingredients or vegetable oil. And be sure to buy sunscreen for children.
Precautions for baby to apply sunscreen
After choosing the baby's sunscreen, do parents just need to help the baby apply it according to the way they apply it? Of course not. They have skills when applying sunscreen to the baby. They can't just apply it casually. When applying sunscreen to the baby, they should pay attention to the following aspects:
1. When using sunscreen, babies should pay special attention not to apply too much sunscreen on their hands, so as 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 its fixed SPF value, but after the baby is sweating or playing with water, with the evaporation of sweat and water, the effect can not reach that long time. Therefore, it is best to apply it every 2 hours, and dry the sweat and water before each application.
3, when children go out to come back, use warm water or slightly hot water to wash the sunscreen on their body and face. You can use a gentle baby bath. After washing, apply the baby special lotion to the child in time. In order to reduce the skin temperature, relieve the skin swelling due to exposure.
Sunscreen should not only be applied to the baby's face, but also to all exposed parts such as the neck, arms and hands. When going out for sports or swimming, it's best to choose sunscreen with waterproof function. Sunscreen must be applied half an hour before the baby goes out, so that the skin can fully absorb. If you exercise outside for more than 2 hours, it's best to reapply it. Choose sunscreen for children to reduce allergic reactions. Even in cloudy or rainy days, there are still some ultraviolet rays penetrating to the ground, which is only lower than that in sunny days, so we still need to do a good job in sun protection.
