5 Good Habits to Protect Your Baby's Skin from the Sun

The warm weather is finally back, along with time spent outdoors, whether in the backyard, at the park, or by the pool. That's why it's important to protect our little ones' skin from the sun, which can have harmful effects on their delicate skin.

Here are 5 habits that will allow your whole family to enjoy unforgettable moments this summer, without harming their skin.

Prevention above all

Stay in the shade as much as possible, especially with very young children! If you must go out in the sun, opt for long, lightweight clothing or clothing with UV protection, such as long-sleeved bathing suits.

Sunscreen Suitable for Babies

Wearing sunscreen is essential, all year round. Made with La Belle Excuse olive oil, the LOLO sunscreen has an SPF of 45 and is suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive. We love its new, more fluid formula, which spreads better than the previous one and is water-resistant for 80 minutes. Use it every day, even on cloudy days, and reapply every two hours and after swimming. Wondering how much you should apply? Naître et grandir recommends 15 to 30 ml (1 to 2 tablespoons), depending on your child's age, to cover their entire body. If your child is not a baby, use approximately 1 teaspoon for the face and neck, 2 teaspoons for the chest and back, 1 teaspoon for the arms, and 2 teaspoons for the legs.

Reduce humidity

Warm weather increases skin humidity, which can cause irritation, dryness, and redness. Our solution? The LOLO Baby Powder, a talc-free formula with antiseptic, antibacterial, and healing properties, soothes the skin. Apply it to all the little skin folds where moisture might accumulate for an instant feeling of freshness.

Gentle cleansing

After a day spent outdoors, there’s nothing better than a bath to cleanse your baby's skin and prepare them for bedtime. We especially love LOLO's olive oil Castile foam soap; its rich yet light lather removes impurities without compromising the skin's moisture. Use lukewarm rather than hot bath water to avoid irritation, and be sure to cleanse everywhere you've applied sunscreen or baby powder for 100% clean skin.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!

After the bath, it's time to rehydrate the skin. You’ll love the LOLO Olive Oil Lotion, which deeply nourishes the skin and leaves a divine scent. Notice some areas seem drier or more sensitive after time spent in the sun? Try the LOLO Olive Oil Balm, a gentle and soothing treatment. Finish with the LOLO Massage Oil, a unique blend of oils that comforts your little ones’ delicate skin.

Having fun outdoors with your baby without irritating their skin is possible: it's simply a matter of adopting good habits and using natural products suited for their fragile skin. After all, summer is for playing!
