The warmer months are finally upon us, which means more sun exposure and the possibility of sun damage. Sunscreen is essential for all of our outdoor adventures, since one bad sunburn can drastically increase our chances of skin cancer later in life. So, let’s talk about what we’re lathering up with! There are tons of sunscreen options for kids out there, but how do we know which to buy? I’ve created a list of my all-time favorite natural sunscreen for babies and toddlers, so check it out and try some out this summer.
