In children under 6 months should not apply any cream photoprotective is not necessary, because should not be exposed to direct sunlight, ie if we have a baby less than six months, you better change your plans and leave the beach later.

The most important thing is preventing sunburn, it seems that’s what predisposes to have melanoma (tumor extremely malignant), for this we will not tire of repeating that:

* The presentations should be brief, progressive, avoiding the middle of the day (12 am to 17 pm), a useful rule for children is teach them to avoid the sun when your shadow is of lesser height than ourselves (which is precisely in this time slot).
* On top of this photoprotective creams recommend, we purchase these products at the pharmacy, the rate of protection should be greater than or equal to 15, specifying in the package “for kids, children, etc..” Water resistant if possible. Do not forget to be applied at least 20 minutes before sun exposure, and renew them every 2 hours and after swimming.
