Sunscreen Your Seven Year Old Can Apply Himself - Sensitive Skin

[Kindra178]

DS1 will be going to a couple of weeks of outdoor summer camp. He will have to bring sunscreen. We love Blue Lizard, but there is no way he will put that on without looking like a ghost. What else may work? Maybe a spray?

We used this one for camp last year. I also like the sticks for their face.

DD1 used Target's Up & Up SPF30 spray, and California Baby stick. She is prone to eczema and neither product bothered her.

We use this spray too. It is very easy to rub in.
I would be concerned about his face though. Maybe a stick for that, at least on his nose and cheeks that he could then rub in more?

The only sunscreen ds will apply himself is stick. Purple prairie is less white/easier to rub in than a lot of them but I didn't feel like it worked as well for us. We are back to CA Baby for stick.

I was thinking of All Terrain too. Thanks guys. He reacted a bit when we applied All Terrain spray to his face (via my hands). It was fine for his body though. Maybe I will try a stick. The CA Baby stick is like chalk; hard to rub in imo.
