How to protect yourself from sunburn?
However, for each case there are specific precautions that must be taken. Here are the good reflexes to follow before and during your next exposure to the sun to avoid sunburn. Sensitive skin, that is, skin that reacts poorly to factors that other skin types often tolerate well, must be distinguished from sun sensitive skin. This is more of a light phototype (light skin, light hair). To protect it, it is necessary to adopt a preventive product with a high index and expose yourself in moderation. Prefer formulas with soothing active ingredients (Allantoin, Bisabolol, etc.) whose ingredients strengthen the skin in the face of intolerance. In addition to sunscreen, use protective clothing: clothing with sleeves, a hat with a wide brim  Not to be confused with photosensitive skin due to some diseases that are present at birth or acquired during life. In this case, the sun is blocked. Allergies to sunscreen are possible, but it remains in a minority, reassures Dr. Michele Sayag, an allergist.
