Understanding Sun Protection for Babies
It's crucial to protect babies from the sun's harmful rays. While using sun cream is one part of this, there are other essential precautions to keep in mind:
Important Considerations:
- Age Matters: While NIVEA Baby Caring Sun Lotion can be used from 3 months, dermatologists recommend keeping babies under three out of direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Indirect Sunlight: Even when not in direct sunlight, babies should be protected. Clothing, hats, and shade are excellent ways to keep them safe.
- Sunscreen Application: Apply sun cream liberally to all exposed skin, ensuring you cover areas like ears, neck, and the tops of feet. Reapply regularly, particularly after swimming or sweating.
