Do you use sunscreen everyday? Many people tend to use sunscreen only during summer, but it’s actually recommended to use everyday to protect our skins from daily exposure to UV rays. Sun protection is important regardless of your age, and according to dermatologists, babies should start wearing sunscreen at the age of 6 months.
But wearing powerful sunscreens with high SPF & PA and long-lasting effect could be harsh on the skin. Specially, kids and babies have more delicate skin than adults, so you may need to pay extra care when it comes to choosing right sunscreens for them.
Do you want to find safe sunscreens that can be used for or share with kids and babies?? Numbers of Japanese cosmetics brands produce sunscreens specially designed for kids and babies with gentle and non-chemical formula. In this article, I would like to share the list of the best Japanese sunscreens for kids and babies that you can buy at drugstores.
