Posting for traffic and advice. All I can find on the internet is information telling you how bad tanning is for kids etc but nowhere has advice for kids that have anything other than white ethnicity that just bloody tan!
DD, last year, same sun cream, same application routine, no tan. This year her skin seems to have changed and is tanning despite extra applications.
I have a similar issue myself but until now her skin seemed more like my husband’s white skin but this year seems to be reacting more like mine.
Example, I was recently told off by a white friend for my tan lines I had got telling me it’s skin damage. I got them by walking to the shop, out the house for 30 mins so probably 20 mins possible sun exposure, but occasionally in the shade because I’m walking in roads with a few turns, factor 30 on thick (I let it soak it same for with DD).
I can’t find anywhere that adivices on this kind of skin and for me I’ve been more relaxed in the past but now DD is getting it I really want to protect her more.
Is there a special type of sun cream? What do others do? She wears tshirts or rash vests in the pool too, sun creamed everywhere including underneath where maybe covered, at least 15 mins before going outside. She has factor 50 and I reapply around every 1.5hrs atm or once dry post pool. I could try to up it but it’s a bit of a battle anyway.
I just feel like everywhere is saying tending kids is wrong and you’re an ignorant, lazy parent if you let it happen but nowhere seems to address the ones that it’s hard to stop tanning.
Honestly, any tips, please help!
