Sun protection for family - kid- and pregnancy-friendly suncare

Summer is on the way and many of us probably are going for a family vacation, where you need to have a good sun protection for whole family. And if you do not want to fill your suitcase with sunscreens for every member of your family, keep reading to learn about family-friendly sun protection.  

Pregnancy- friendly sunscreens 

During pregnancy, skin usually becomes more sensitive and irritated, which can even be doubled by the intensive UV-light. All women must apply sunscreen no matter what kind of whether it is outside as the skin is always under the risk of hyperpigmentation, melasma and skin cancer. 

As it is important to be aware of chemical ingredients in the skincare products during pregnancy, it is highly advisable to choose PHYSICAL sunscreen instead of chemical. Physical sunscreen does not penetrate the skin and tend to stay on the surface, providing broad protection. Physical filters are hypoallergenic and safe to use even with eczema-prone skin.

Kid-friendly sunscreens 

Kid’s skin is much delicate and thinner compared to adults, which explains high sensitivity and weak skin barrier. As it is easy for the chemical components penetrate and harm skin’s cells, it is highly advisable to use physical filter-based sunscreens as they are gentler and do not harm or irritate the skin and re-apply it regularly.
