Tips on Sun Cream for my Youngster

[km-j]

Can anyone recommend a sun cream for my youngsters pink nose, does the baby 50+ work or is it best to invest in a proper horse one? Thanks

I've always just used a human one, usually whatever I have to hand. I buy the sensitive skin stuff for me so the boy used to have that on his schnozzle and seemed to do the job just fine. That or a kid's range works well too. Kept his pink muzzle nice and protected.

I'll try something like the kids range factor 50, thanks, I didn't think it was going to be this hot today and haven't brought any yet!!

Sudocrem blocks the sun and soothes already burnt noses. Stays on all day when the horse is grazing too.

My boy had a habit of stuffing his nose into the water trough straight after I'd applied it so I ended up sticking with a waterproof one, lasted ages! Can't believe how lovely and sunny it is, and the weekend looks great too...yay!

I use the kids factor 50 one and I buy a thick one so it stays on his nose , his heels are fine that stays on well but with his nose he just wipes it off on the horse next to him , have to apply 2 times and that usually does the trick !

I always think the watery sun creams are rubbish so would prefer the thicker ones......thanks everyone, roll on summer :-D

Sudocrem is great as a sun block. It sticks much better than any other sun cream I have tried on my cobs pink nose. She rubs other sun creams off and I only have to apply every other day. This is the best tip I have had from this forum

I buy kids factor 50, cheapest one usually from Wilkinsons, but also use a Premier Equine full face mask.

I use factor 50 either kids or sports types - waterproof. The sports ones usually last longer.

I used to buy a total sun block online (sorry cant remember name) it was an Australian brand for surfers, really thick and stayed on all day.

Not heard about sudocreme before but always have it around will give it a go. I was wondering how often people apply sun block so thanks all for the info. Looks as if might need it on Monday.

Another vote for Sudocrem here. Will be slapping it on tomorrow along with a fly rug.
Mad, summer has just suddenly appeared this week, and everyone is flapping about trying to get prepared. Think we thought winter would never end...!
