So I've been applying SPF 50 to kids which is also water resistant, but my 3 year old has woken up with red cheeks this morning, and my 6yo the same a few days ago. They also wear caps and were not in the sun for that long yesterday, is there anything I'm not using or missing out on?

Well it depends on so many factors, even with cream on your still need to be careful. Also some creams are better than others, I can’t use Nivea cream as I still burn.

What time of day were you outside and for how long?

Is the suncream new this year and a good brand?

Are you sure it's sunburn? Could be a reaction to something, maybe the suncream?

Years ago I was told it makes bo difference on spf if theirs not 5 stars on the bottle, not sure if this is true but I always make sure to buy bottles with 5 stars. Also you could try a sun block stick after you've applied the cream.

What do you call 'not long'?
Where are you?
Do they wear caps in the pool?
Do you reapply straight after the pool?
