Dream - Besides moisturizer, sunscreen must also be used since infancy to protect the skin from exposure to sunlight.
"Now, there are even more sunscreens that are safe to use since infancy with a lightweight formula and maximum protection."
Although there are many sunscreens for children available on the market, Sahabat Dream still needs to be careful when choosing or using them. Just like adults, children also apply sunscreen in a certain way. Here is a guide to choosing and using sunscreen from Dermatologist, Yessica Tania.
Apply sunscreen since the child is 6 months old. Previously, the child's skin is still very sensitive and prone to side effects such as rash or redness.
It is recommended that children under 6 months old should not be taken outdoors with excessive exposure to direct sunlight to prevent irritation, even if they are already wearing special baby sunscreen.
Use physical sunscreen for babies and children and avoid chemical sunscreen. Usually, physical sunscreen contains titanium or zinc oxide.
Baby and children's skin are still sensitive to using chemical sunscreens which usually contain homosalate, octocrylene, or avobenzone, so pay close attention to the content of the sunscreen, okay!
In addition, choose sunscreen with at least SPF 30, labeled as broad spectrum, and water resistant to make it last longer when used during activities.
Make sure your child or baby uses sunscreen in the right way. Apply sunscreen about the size of your child's hand for the entire face.
Apply 15-30 minutes before leaving the house or engaging in outdoor activities. After that, do not forget to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours. If the baby is less than 6 months old and needs to be exposed to sunlight, you can apply sunscreen with SPF 15 only on the cheeks and back of the hands.
Don't forget to use water resistant sunscreen when engaging in activities in wet environments such as swimming pools, beaches, or the sea.
Although wearing sunscreen does not mean that children are free to be active under sunlight exposure. Still avoid direct or indirect sunlight exposure, especially from 10 am to 2 pm when the sun's radiation is very strong.
Protect your baby's skin as much as possible by seeking shade under a tree or stroller canopy, using an umbrella, or wearing lightweight and cool clothing such as cotton. You can also wear accessories like a wide-brimmed hat to maximize your child's skin protection from UV radiation.
