The Best Sunscreens For Kids

Whether you’re having a backyard barbecue or taking the kids to the Hamptons, there’s one thing you mustn’t forget this summer: sunscreen.

Children’s skin is far more vulnerable to damage from UV rays than adults, so be safe and use protection. Protect tiny tots upto six months old with physical barriers like umbrellas, shades and sun hats. Once they’re old enough, move ’em right on to a sunscreen from our edit:
