Can I use adult sunscreen on my child?

Yes, you can use adult sunscreen on your child, but it is important to choose a product that is suitable for their skin type. Look for sunscreen that is labelled as safe for children or sensitive skin, as these are often formulated to be gentler. Always check the ingredients and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.

Key points:

  • Choose a sunscreen that is suitable for children or sensitive skin.
  • Look for broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays.
  • Check for water resistance if your child will be swimming or sweating.
  • Apply sunscreen generously and reapply regularly for effective protection.
