JESSIE FLORES: Hello, my name is Jessica. I'm a licensed esthetician for the last two years. I'm here to talk to you today about how to purchase and have the sunblock for a child. It is the most important is to be sure that you apply your sunblock daily. The SPF of 50 is not what you would want to put on your child even if you're going to the beach. The best option would be to have a 30 and then apply it thicker and to be sure that you reapply. Whenever you're going to the store and you're going in to buy the sunblock, you can always look at the label. You should try to have a sunblock that does not have the parabens in it. It is hard to find, but you could go organic. Those get processed by the liver through the child's body and so you do not want to apply that as often. You can do a test area. Underneath your arm, you can test for sensitivities or allergies. And with a pale skin, it is always important to apply even if you're in the car or you go out for a small walk. It is always important. And whenever you go to the beach, you could always use a waterproof, always checking that SPF. But even if it is waterproof, you still should reapply anytime that after about two hours.
