| I got my skin sun burned for driving three hours straight under the sun although I had sunscreen on. It has been a week and my skin is still upset. My skin is always very sensitive to the sun. I am very easy to get red patches and sometimes pimples after staying in sun for more than an hour even though I religiously apply sunscreen everyday and use after sun lotion afterwards. I would really appreciate if someone can share their tips about dealing with this kind of skin. |

Sorry to hear that you were badly burned, and it sounds like you ought to be wearing an extremely high SPF such as La Roche Posay - Anthelios L SPF 60.
Other products which may help: Thalgo Ocea Sun or Murad Pomphenol Sunguard Supplement.
After sun: Dermalogica After Sun Repair, Phytomer Instant Repair Soothing Moisturizing After-Sun Milk, Thalgo After-Sun Hydra-Soothing Veil, Pevonia Ligne Soleil After-Sun Soothing Gel, or La Roche-Posay Posthelios After-Sun Repair Care Concentrate.
If your skin is THAT sensitive, then you might want to invest in light-weight, UV protectant clothing available on the market. Example:

| Hm, are you very very fair? It sounds like you might even have a sun allergy, or a hypersensitivity. I know some people who are particularly photosensitive use products with micronized silver in them, instead of the usual physical blockers (like micronized titanium dioxide or zinc oxide). I also recall having received a catalog for those who are photosensitive once, with special clothing and sunblocks. I would see a dermatologist about it if I were you, especially if you can get an appointment while you're still showing symptoms (but don't go TRYING to get a burn for this - I'm no expert, but it sounds like the kind of burn you're describing can be pretty harmful!). SkinCancer.org has a catalog available, and also Coolibar seems to be a brand of sun-sensitive products. You may just really need to close the sunroof and be good about wearing a hat and a light, long-sleeved shirt (think an airy white linen button-down - still fashionable and summery, but covers you up better than any cream can!). Good luck! |

Thank you so much for the response. I am interested in trying the Murad Sunguard supplement. Have you tried this? I googled it and found the list of ingredients: Murad Pomphenol Sunguard Supplement contains: Pomegranate Extract 15 mg per capsule, Microcystalline Cellulose, Silicon Dioxide, Magnesium Sterate, Gelatin. Does anyone in the forum can tell me whether any of the above ingredient going to give me any side effect? If not, I am buying it. |

My skin can be very sensitive to the sun, and I've found Dr. Hauscka's after sun lotion to be very soothing/healing.
I've also purchased some really fetching broad-brimmed hats! |

This is what I did too - except I got aloe vera in a bottle. It sure felt nice against my hot skin! |
