Sunblock????


Question: I don't have sensitive skin, but whenever I put on sunblock (i've tried many many different brands...), and i would get allergic reaction.. itchy, redness, bumps.
and i live in las vegas where sunblock is a MUST... does anyone know a sunblock that is extra extra gentle???
thanks :)
Answers: You are obviously having an allergic reaction to certain chemicals in the sunscreen products you have tried. Try using infant/baby sunscreen. If you have already tried that, then you really should make an appointment with an Allergist and/or Dermatologist to get tested for skin allegies. The testing is not fun and skin allergy testing usually takes 24-72 hours (you can't shower during this time)... but it will answer all of your questions.

Also, bring in samples of the lotions you have been using that make you react. That will help them with your treatment options.
Try natural products.
Whole foods might be able to help.
Have you tried the Sun-block products for children and Babies?
Refer to a dermatalogist or a doctor, I might recommend you to see products that have aloe vera, Vitamin E they're good for sensitive skin or oil-free sensitive.
See a dermatalogist, he can test you to see what you are allergic to. Then, he can tell you what you can use as a sunblock. good luck
Most sunblocks have Salicylic acid. This is very similar to acetylsalicylic acid better known as aspirin. People that are allergic to asprin can have a reaction to Salicylic acid.
