Suncream - kids?

5 replies

Is the kids suncream just a marketing spin or is there a reason why kids can't use 'adult' suncream? And vice versa - could I use kids? Need some for hols but don't think we will need more than one bottle so would rather share with DS than get us one each. It's not a beach holiday so mostly for arms face and legs. I am happy to use high SPF.

Kids stuff is usually for sensitive skin so won't do you any harm and will still work on adults tongue uva/uvb/factor messages on pack.

I usually use a kids one because often they come in higher spf.

I use a kids sun cream because I'm very ginger and they tend to be the ones on offer. I'd use any sun cream on myself or kids as long as it's spf 50 and cheap!

The recommended amounts are 5ml for your face, 5ml for your arms, 5ml per leg.
Every couple of hours. A 200ml bottle should be fine for an adult in less than a week.
We only have kids sunscreen here.

Thank you. I think I will go with kids spf 50 then.
