Trying to apply sunscreen to a wriggly child who just wants to get out and play is one of life’s most difficult tasks. There’s refusing to sit still, sand everywhere, and of course the “it’s in my eyes!”protests. However tricky it may be, applying SPF is crucial for protecting children in the sun, but the best kids’ sunscreen can make the job much easier.
Sophie Brooks, health information manager at Cancer Research UK explains the importance of sunscreen, saying: “Too much UV radiation from the sun and sunbeds is the main cause of skin cancer. But avoiding the sun completely isn’t possible, and being outdoors in the sun has benefits too. So, it’s important to start practising sun safety from a young age to form good habits.”
