I went to the beach and wore sunblock (spf 30) all day, but I still burned. I was surprised how sensitive my skin was. I'm pretty light skinned but before my pregnancy, i usually only put on spf 15 and would be fine. I even burned on the tops of my toes, it was horrible!

Hi! I've always had pale skin which burned easily, but in the past I was able to get by with just using sunblock. But this past summer my skin was extremely sensitive and I'm not sure what's causing this. I went on vacation and every time I was in the sun I applied spf 50 waterproof sunblock, and diligently reapplied after going in the water and every two hours. But I still had a horrible reaction to the sun. My skin got red and hot and it was very painful.

I'm very pale and have many moles. I typically get them checked once a year by my dermatologist. I just had 2 dark moles removed this summer. They had atypical cells, but none have ever come back cancerous. My skin is very, very sensitive. I'm prone to acne, eczema, contact dermatitis, have some melasma on my forehead, but this is new. I always wear sunblock and typically stay out of the sun.

Reg this ears issue ,I have gone to doctors many times, had all the STD tests done, some skin blood tests done but so far nothing is diagnosed . Can anyone relate to this problem or know what is it ?
Thanks.
ve noticed that my skin barrier is still on the weak side because 1) My skin is still a bit sensitive to water; I have to wash very lightly or i'll notice that my skin becomes less elastic, and 2) I have to apply makeup in a very thin layer, otherwise it just looks disastrous. I'm assuming this is because there is still a lot of underlying dryness as well. However, my biggest problem now is with my eyelids.
Hi. My skin complexion is considered fair, although not Ivory white , almost second to the fairest on a skin color palate. Skin type is Asian. I've been using sunblock for about 9 to 10 years on a daily basis to protect my skin from UV, to prevent freckles also, and premature skin aging; until 1 year and 8 months ago was the last time I used sunblock.
Summer is right around the corner and he already loves the outside. But I would like to protect his little skin as much as possible. What brands would you recommend ? What SPF ? The spray the lotion? Thank you!
Do not scrub your skin or shave your skin and use a soft towel and gently pat your skin dry.Also use a sunburn Over-The-Counter remedy containing aloe vera and a light moisturizer or a dusting powder to relieve chafing. You can apply silver sulfadiazine (1% cream) on the skin except face and see if it helps.If the symptoms still persist then you should consult a dermatologist .
I have very fair skin so I know it's important to limit my UV exposure. The problem is that my skin is very sensitive, and I've had an adverse reaction to every sunscreen/sunblock I've tried (including pure zinc-based ones). So I limit my sun exposure, and wear a big wide brim sun hat and long sleeves and pants when I'm out in the sun.
I have a portable UV checker which detects the intensity of UVA/UVB rays.
So that helps me know whether I'm getting much or any UV light.
Since I got my first sunburn at age 15 in Spain (blistering sunburn on the back), I have tried to be very careful about being in the sun without sunblock or being fully covered up. During my times of lapse in protection, my skin has burned to the point of blistering at its worst and manifesting as bizarre sunburn, non-itchy blotches on my arms (I really don't let my face or my legs get touched) at its best.
I never really thought about it; I just lived with the sensitivity.
Theres nothing wrong with it, your skin is more sensitive so its easier to get burnt. Try it, you just might not enjoy as much as you used to, I went to the river and laid out last weekend and oh man I got so hot I wanted to throw up. It was yucky. You already have an elevated temperature so the sun just makes you feel extra hot. I used to love sun bathing.
The burn on my arms was sore to the touch, but did not blister or cause me any extra concern aside from I should be using sunblock! However, since I have been home my skin is basically washing off! If I were to use a white wash cloth it is COVERED in skin flaking off. It is more than just flaking off, so much comes off that it clumps together. When I shave my legs, the razor becomes backed-up with skin. This is completely disgusting.
Should I choose Vichy Capital Soleil which has vitrually no antioxidants in its formulation, but has excellent UVA protection ingredients titanium dioxide, avobenzene, and photostable Mexoryl, OR, should I choose Clinique Face Sunblock which has antioxidant Vitamin C, but only has UVA protection avobenzene which is not photostable (realistically I won't be reapplying it every two hours)? I read that vitamin C is good for treating and protecting against wrinkles and sun spots.
