[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8 and 12 year olds shower daily and wash their face every night (either in the shower or when they brush their teeth if they showered earlier). My 12 year old wears a moisturizer with SPF30 daily and my 8 year old will probably start soon. My 12 year old wears a mild deodorant when I remind her to (trying to get to daily without a reminder), my 8 year wears only before soccer & basketball practice and games (she will probably have to start daily soon, she gets a little stinky when she sweats).[/quote]

Why does your 8 year old need a moisturizer?  Seems a little young to me.[/quote]

I don't think a child is ever too young to wear sunscreen. [/quote]

Of course not, I put sunscreen on my kids from early ages at the pool.  That’s different than a daily moisturizer for an 8 year old.[/quote]

It's just Cerave with SPF30. It's very gentle and my kids wash their face every might. I don't see the difference between that and slathering a kid with sunscreen every day for summer camp. [/quote]

And that is a hard battle for me, in the summer when outside all day.  I’m not fighting my 8 yr old every day to wear face lotion.  If yours doesn’t care, go for it.  But if they don’t want to, this isn’t something I’d force [/quote]
