At each age recommendation: before 6 months / 6 months / up to 3 years
Before 6 months
Up to 6 months, your baby's skin is still too immature. Too thin, permeable skin lets in the ingredients of some sunscreens are also likely to promote allergies. It is for this reason that the toilet water alcoholic and ointments containing cortisone among others are not suitable for children of this age. So a slogan: no sunscreen before 6 months.
After 6 months
After 6 months, you can begin to apply a sunscreen to protect baby provided you use a cream "Special Baby" and not a "special child". Fragrance free. Including the protection factor of 40 to a minimum. And containing a mineral screen (when applying a white film remains visible on the skin). Avoid brands unknowns "and prefer a big brand to protect baby's skin. They all offer this kind of sunscreen.
Warning
Attention to apply a sunscreen does not mean to leave baby sun. These exposures should be "than exceptional" baby and always protected by an umbrella, a hat, lightweight trousers and sunglasses. Keep in mind that sunburn from childhood sun enter the capital of your children and promote the risk of developing skin cancer in adulthood.
Up to 3 years
The skin will not defend themselves against the sun's rays before that age. You should therefore avoid prolonged exposure before 3 years.
