What sunscreen should I use if my skin is photosensitive?
If your skin is photosensitive, it is best to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF, ideally 30 or above. Look for sunscreens that contain physical blockers like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, as these are less likely to irritate sensitive skin. Additionally, opt for fragrance-free and hypoallergenic formulas to minimize the risk of reactions.
Key points:
- Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen for maximum protection.
- Select a high SPF of 30 or more for better coverage.
- Look for physical blockers like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
- Use fragrance-free and hypoallergenic products to avoid irritation.
