Sun Cream - It just Doesn't Agree with my Face
 
Does anyone else suffer this allergy?

It was quite warm yesterday and, remembering that half my face turns into a scab whenever I use it, I decided to go ahead anyway and put sun cream on.

The last time I used it was a few years ago and I thought that it may have been just the one brand. Nevertheless I've been wary (scared) since then, so it was with some trepidation that I rubbed it into the old boat race.

Sure enough, today my face is in the process of turning into a cross between the elephant man and a bag of sand.

Anyway, my question is this: is it just perhaps the one kind of sun cream (perfumed, for example) and are there other options? I don't fancy going on too many more holidays without it to be honest. It's a strange thing because I can put it anywhere else on my body without any problems, even my tadger, which you'd think would be quite sensitive.

You can get suncream for sensitive skin, otherwise, just use kids sun lotion, it's the same thing.

Jamie 04 June 2011 06:10 PM

I am really sorry, but :lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1: Your descrition of your face is about the funniest thing I have read on here in a long time.

Anyway, Clinique do a fantastic sun cream especially for your face. Excellent for super sensitive skin. Bit pricey but well worth it :)

You should go to your doctor and get an allergy test. You can then find a sun cream that won't affect you.

bigsinky 04 June 2011 06:28 PM

get some gheyer to dribble his baby batter over your face. alledgedly SPF100. job done.

tony de wonderful 04 June 2011 06:34 PM

There's different types.

I don't like the clear greasy stuff, the white zinc based stuff is best IMHO.

hutton_d 04 June 2011 06:58 PM

Wear a hat - no cream needed. People get too poncy about sun cream.

I think I do too. :lol1:

Saying that, I shouldn't laugh too much. It was only a couple of years ago that I ended up in quite a bad state after a trip there. :o (yes, I was as red as that smilie)

euan_r 05 June 2011 02:33 AM

i got prescibed stuff called uvistat spf 30, for lupus. takes a bit or rubbing in but hasnt caused any ill effects. would love some of the folks that call looking after yourself to make comments like they have made on this thread to come see me and then offer their opinions, ive no office job.

i also use e45 daily as ignoring 15+ years with large cracks in hands was just being youthfull and stupid, not to mention painfull.

You would not think like that if you had skin cancer though.

I reckon the advice about asking your doctor is good. He might even be able to give you that answer straightaway. Better than putting up with all that.
