Sensitive skin sunscreens… Skin that is sensitive, reactive, or allergic to the sun needs extra care when exposed to it.
Associated with different uncomfortable symptoms, photosensitivity can arise for various reasons. In this sense, we highlight the main symptoms and causes of sun-sensitive skin.
-Itching, rashes, and burning are the main signs of sun-sensitive skin.
-Lighter phototypes tend to be more sensitive to exposure.
-Eczema, acne, or rosacea can aggravate photosensitivity.
-In addition, certain autoimmune diseases as well as ingredients like retinol can lead to increased sun sensitivity.
Important precautions to take
To avoid the symptoms mentioned above it is of high importance that you take preventive measures. Therefore, precaution begins by using a sunscreen with a high protection index (SPF 30 or 50+) and broad-spectrum UVA-UVB. The formula of the chosen sunscreen should be specially developed with this skin type in mind. In other words, containing mineral filters as well as gentle, moisturizing actives is essential.
Despite being essential, the use of sunscreen is not enough for complication-free sunbathing, so we recommend that in addition to protective clothing (namely hats and sweaters) you do not expose yourself to the sun during the hottest hours (12-16h).
