Skin care in the sun?

i am going to florida for 3 weeks and have never spent so much time in the sun before and will probably be in the sun all day, every day. my skin is very pale, sensitive and not used to the heat of the sun. what can i use to help my skin not get sun-burnt and dehydrated or dry??

Skin care in the sun?
wear sunscreen at all times, get a water resistant one if you can but anyways, re-apply after swimming. Especially ion the first few days, sit in the sahde in the hottest times which is I think 11-3





Also if your skin is very sensitive, I'd advise getting the sun tan lotions from health shops which are better for the skin, (eg Living Nature does a good one, %26amp; also Green People's Edelwiess is a very goods one %26amp; Weleda).


Please have a look at these articles, will give you more info: (suncare advice for hyper-sensitive skin)

Reply:Normally I would say try to go to the tanning bed to get your skin ready but since I was just diagnosed w/ skin cancer, I highly advise against that. As you already know, keep sunscreen on at all times. Wear a hat, have some aloe vera ready, and just keep your skin very moisturized. You won't always know you are burning until it's too late; try to stay inside some too!

Reply:Limit your exposure to the sun, especially from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (hours of peak ultraviolet exposure).





Wear protective clothing, including a wide-brimmed hat, a long-sleeved shirt, and pants.





Wear sunglasses that block UV rays.





Use a sunscreen that has a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 Sunscreens that say "broad-spectrum" can protect the skin from ultraviolet A and B (UVA and UVB) rays. Sunscreens come in lotions, gels, creams, and ointments.





Use lip balm or cream that has sun protection factor (SPF) to protect your lips from getting sunburned or developing cold sores.
Reply:Get some factor 50, splash it on, then splash it on some more. I have just come back from Barbados and burnt my feet because I didn't splash on enough. I paid the price!





A big hat will help, as will some good sunglasses. Get a good sunblock for your lips, nose and ears. Get in the pool every so often to cool your skin (and slap on some more suncream!), and stay out of the sun between 11.30 and 1.30.





Enjoy!
