Yay, the sun is back and summer is just around the corner! But be careful, we mustn't forget to protect our skin and that of our little ones from UV rays. So, let's talk about sunscreens, because there are so many choices on the market!
First, there are mineral creams and non-mineral creams. The former have natural ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to create a physical barrier between the skin and UV rays, while non-mineral creams have chemical ingredients that absorb UV rays. Both types are effective, but if you prefer natural ingredients, opt for mineral creams.
With its light and pleasant texture, Sun Bum sunscreens are a must-have for the summer season, for the whole family! In all its variations, each member of the family will find what they are looking for: lip balm, face shield, spray and cream, Sun Bum will effectively protect you from SPF.
Now, let's talk about SPF (sun protection factor). There are creams with SPF 30 and others with SPF 50. Generally, SPF 30 is sufficient for a normal day, but if you plan to spend a lot of time outdoors, choose a cream with SPF 50 for maximum protection.
Then there are waterproof creams and non-waterproof creams. If you plan to spend time in the water, opt for a waterproof cream for continuous protection. However, remember to reapply the cream every two hours, even with a waterproof cream.
Sun protection is especially important for babies. Avoid direct sun exposure and use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Be sure to reapply every 80 minutes and keep your baby well hydrated, as babies lose water more quickly than adults.
So, enjoy the summer safely with good sun protection!
