They may be small, but their sunburns are mighty! 🌞 Let’s talk sunscreen for the whole squad💥 —from tiny newborns to too-cool teens 😎. Protecting your child's skin from the sun is crucial at every stage of growth.

✨Here's how you can help:

Newborns (0–6 months):
☀️ Avoid direct sunlight; their skin is highly sensitive.
☀️Use shade, lightweight clothing, and wide-brimmed hats for protection.
☀️If necessary, apply a minimal amount of broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with SPF 30+ to small exposed areas like the face and hands.

Babies (6–12 months):
☀️Continue using shade and protective clothing.
☀️Apply a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with SPF 30+ to exposed skin.
☀️Opt for mineral sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to minimize irritation.

Kids & Teens (1–18 years):
☀️Use a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with SPF 30–50.
☀️Apply sunscreen 15–30 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours, or after swimming or sweating.
☀️For teens, choose non-comedogenic formulas to prevent breakouts.

🚨 Remember, no sunscreen is "waterproof" or "sweatproof." Always reapply as directed.

Stay sun-safe and enjoy the outdoors responsibly! 😎
