What suncream is suitable for my preschooler?

Preschoolers are intrepid explorers who enjoy uncovering the mysteries of their surroundings whether it’s digging a hole on a sandy beach or playing hide and seek in the back garden which is why it’s so important to keep their delicate skin protected from the harsh rays of the sun.
 
A young child’s delicate skin can easily suffer both short and long term damage from the sun in the form of sunburn and heat stroke and being sunburnt just once as a child can increase the chances of melanoma in later life. However, with Ambre Solaire Rapido SPF 30 you can be sure your little one is in safe hands.
 
The sun is at its strongest between 10am and 4pm so between this time so it’s important to follow these steps:
  • Keep your child in the shade, under a tree or umbrella but remember that even a child in the shade can get sunburned.
  • Dress your preschooler in lightweight, light coloured clothing ensuring to cover arms and legs. A wide brimmed hat that has a flap at the back to cover the neck and a brim wide enough to shade the face and UV protective sunglasses are also essential.
  • Sunscreen should be applied about 15 to 30 minutes before going outdoors and reapplied every two hours making sure to cover all areas of exposed skin. If your toddler’s skin gets wet, sunscreen should also be immediately reapplied once towel-dried.
