Sometimes asking loved ones to take precautions for their own health can be challenging conversations. One such conversation is about sunscreen. To encourage loved ones to use sunscreen, experts say to begin the talk by explaining your love and concern for them and the risks of sun damage and skin cancer. Try to emphasize the benefits of sun protection, including preventing wrinkles and age spots. Focus on making sunscreen application easy and enjoyable, and offer personalized recommendations based on their individual needs and preferences.
Consider factors like their skin type, activity level, and preferences when recommending sunscreens. If someone has sensory sensitivities, try sun protective clothing or a sunscreen stick.
You can also get kids involved in the application process, like using a big soft brush or letting them apply sunscreen on you.
Stay focused. It may take time and gentle reminders to change a person's habits. Stay positive and encourage them to experiment with different sunscreen products and application methods until they find something that works for them
