Sunscreen is suitable for use by all ages, from babies to adults. In fact, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends that people use Sunscreen every day from the age of 6 month and over.
In infants and children, it is better to use a Sunscreen with an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of at least 30 and a zinc Oxide or titanium is oxide content which is safer for sensitive skin. Sunscreen should be applied evenly and repeated every 2 hours.
Meanwhile, for adults, sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 and UVA and UVB Protection is the most recommended. Sunscreen must also be applied evenly and repeated every 2 hours if exposed to water or sweating.
It is important to remember that using sunscreen is not the only way to protect your skin from the sun. Wearing hats, sunglasses, and clothing that covers the skin can also help protect the skin from UV damage.
