GOOD SUN HABITS

Avoid exposure when the sun is at its hottest.

Apply a sufficient amount of sun protection to all exposed areas, just before exposure.
Keep children under three months old out of direct sunlight. When exposure is inevitable protect suncream and with clothes..

After swimming, dry children with a towel and reapply sun protection, with a water and sand resistant texture..
Protect yourself with clothes, a hat and sunglasses.

Not all clothes provide equally effective protection and can vary according to the textile type. Some manufacturers have developed specific anti-UV clothes thanks to a variety of techniques: tight-fitting fibers or coated with sunscreens..

.
Apply a sufficient amount of product: ”two layers rather than one”.

Do not forget the top of the head, the ears, nape of the neck and feet.

Reapply approximately every 2 hours or after bathing or excessive sweating (even if using a waterproof formula). There is a large choice of textures (cream, fluid, gel, lotion, stick) adapted to everyone's preferences and needs..
