It’s essential to have a dedicated baby sunscreen for high factor coverage when your kids are little, but once they’re a little older, it’s easier to switch to a multi-use sunscreen that the whole family can use. So rather than packing your own anti-ageing product or a kids-only brand, you can find the best sunscreens for the whole family to reduce your packing list this summer.
Look for a non-allergen product with a high sun protection factor, that stays put for swimming or sports, and you’ll be able to protect the whole family with one easy product.
