It is so important to protect children's skin when exposed to strong sunlight and if you'd like to catch up on our top tips see Sun safety.
Another important thing to remember is that sun protection products do not last forever look for a symbol similar to the one here. Some products will last longer than others. If in doubt about when you opened replace it.
The Green People sun protection we've been trying lasts for six months. I've been using the Sun Lotion 15 SPF with Tan accelerator which offers medium protection and is 82 per cent organic. It seems quite thick and the white cream shows you where you've applied which is useful. However the cream is soon absorbed into the skin. It feels good and I've had no untoward sunburn marks.
Harriet has been wearing the Organic Children Sun Lotion 25 SPF and her very fair and sensitive skin has been well protected. There is a common misunderstanding about sun protection factors (SPF) and one should remember that factor 50 does not give double the protection of SPF 25 but only a two per cent increase. The most important thing is to apply liberally and often and to keep children out of direct sunlight as far as possible during the peak hours of 11am to 3pm. You can find further information in Sun safety.
