Wrestling with your toddler as you try to apply their sunscreen or arguing with them to put on SPF before they go to day camp is nobody’s idea of fun—but it’s essential to protect your little ones from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
No matter how your kid reacts to putting on sunscreen, with all of the lotions, sticks, sprays, and creams with “baby” or “kids” on the label, the hardest thing may be choosing which one to use. That’s why we consulted six dermatologists to find out exactly what you need to look for when buying, and named the best sunscreens for kids and babies in 2022.
Adam Friedman, M.D., professor of dermatology and residency program director at the George Washington School of Medicine and Health Sciences shares how to choose (and use) the best sunscreens for kids and babies.
