Sunscreen for children: what should you take on holiday?
Going on holiday with children? Good sun protection is essential. Kids often play outside for hours, run in and out of the water and stay active all day. That is why it is helpful to take products that are easy to use and suitable for warm days.
At A&F Cosmetics, we help you keep the holiday routine for children simple and complete. Think of sunscreen, gentle cleansing, care after showering and lip care for on the go.
Which sunscreen is good for children?
For children, it is best to choose a high SPF that you can apply generously. The Hydrating Sunscreen Whitening Sun Cream Long Lasting UVA UVB Protector SPF 75 is a good choice for sunny days when extra protection is important.
The Dr. Rashel Sun Cream Hydrate SPF 50 is also useful to take on holiday. This sunscreen is suitable for face and body, so you can use one product for multiple areas.
How often should you reapply sunscreen on children?
Children are usually very active, especially on holiday. Apply sunscreen generously before they go outside and repeat this regularly during the day. After swimming, drying off, playing or sweating, reapplying is extra important.
Pay special attention to areas that are often forgotten, such as ears, neck, shoulders, hands, feet and the hairline. These areas often get a lot of sun.
What do you use after swimming?
After a day at the beach or pool, the skin can feel dry because of sun, salt, chlorine and heat. A gentle cleanser helps to make the skin feel fresh and clean again. The Makari Bebe Hair & Body Foaming Gel 500ml is a soft option for hair and body and helps cleanse without leaving the skin feeling dry.
After showering, you can care for the skin with a soft oil or body care product. The Makari Softness Care Baby Oil 250ml helps nourish delicate skin and is a lovely product to use after a long holiday day.
How do you keep the skin soft during warm days?
Sun, air conditioning, wind and water can make the skin feel dry more quickly. That is why it is smart to take care products with you for the evening, in addition to sunscreen. This keeps the routine simple: protection during the day, cleansing after swimming and care before bedtime.
A caring product such as baby oil is easy to add to the daily routine. Apply it after washing or showering, when the skin is clean.
Do not forget the lips
Lips can also become dry quickly during holidays. Sun, wind and air conditioning can make lips feel tight. That is why a lip balm in your beach bag or hand luggage is always useful.
The Beauty Jar Dr. Herbs Lip Balm is nice for dry and sensitive lips and easy to take with you on the go.
What should not be missing from your holiday bag?
A good holiday bag for children does not need to be full. With a high SPF, gentle cleanser, care for after showering and a lip balm, you have the most important basics with you. This way, you are prepared for beach days, pool moments and long days outside.
