A. it should not be applied there it is applicable for only skin which comes in contact with sun all kids — regardless of their skin tone — wear sunscreen with an spf of 30 or higher. sunscreen can and should be safely used for children 6 months and older. spf is the measure of how well a sunscreen blocks uvb rays. currently, most dermatologists recommend you have a sunscreen with an spf of at least 30 or higher. at least two tablespoons of sunscreen, or 1 ounce, should be used to cover all surfaces of the skin, except the eyelids. there are multiple brand available in india from various good brands and can go for any good brand with spf > / =30.

A. hi dear Sunscreen can and should be safely used for children 6 months and older. You may see that some sunscreens are specifically labeled for babies or kids. However, children can use the same sunscreen as adults.
