I smother my son in factor 50.My 3 year old is coming home from nursery with new freckles every day in weird places like inside her ear or on her top lip, I cover her in factor 50 before drop off and they’re adamant they reapply mid morning and use sun hats, but surely if that was true I wouldn’t have a kid becoming a dot to dot puzzle? Is this normal??
But since he was around 2 his freckles started to develop, he is ginger and very very fare skinned. I'd say it was fairly normal. Freckles are Genetic as well as environmental, so if you have any freckley relatives your predisposed to have children who have freckles.
Factor 50 can only do so much its designed to stop UV rays from burning it can't block all sun exposure. You will always still tan, but if you top it up regularly you won't burn.
