Adults and children: are we all equal under the sun?

Because their skin is finer than ours, children are especially vulnerable to UV rays. What is the best way to protect them?

Anthelios Dermo-Pediatrics: especially for children

Anthelios Dermo-Pediatrics SPF50+ Spray has been especially formulated for children’s sensitive skin, with the highest UVA/UVB protection*. The spray has a comfortable finish and is paraben-free, fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and provides two hours water-resistance. 

*Tested to AS/NZS 2064:2012 'very high'.

Education in sun protection: secrets to well-protected skin

Teaching our young ones about the dangers of the sun is vital. For example you can teach them:

  • avoid the midday sun
    Between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. UV rays are at their most dangerous. Show children how to read their shadow: when it is smaller than them, this is the time to avoid the sun.
  • take precautions in all situations
    It's not just at the beach that children are exposed to intense sunlight, but also at parks and during outdoor activities: they must always use maximum protection.
  • reapply frequently
    A high protection factor does not give unlimited protection. To maintain effective protection, sunscreen must be reapplied generously every two hours and after swimming, sweating or towelling.

Clothing: the best protection

When on vacation, a third of children spend an average of 15 hours a week in a bathing suit: it's too much! Hats, sunglasses and dark-colored clothing are the best defense against UV rays.

All about skin cancer

Skin cancer: prevention is better than curing

One in three diagnosed cancers is a skin cancer. Worldwide, between two and three million non-melanocytic skin cancers and 132,000 malignant melanomas are diagnosed each year1. In the United States, one in five Americans will suffer from skin cancer in their lifetime2 while in Europe, skin cancer is rising by 5 to 7% a year3. However, the earlier it is detected the greater the chances of it being cured. Indeed, 90% of skin cancers are curable if treated in time.
