Here are some of the key considerations one should adhere to when applying sun block:
The essential make-up of a sun protection is chemicals which can make the skin vulnerable to reactions like allergies, itching and swelling. These allergies might be severe in some individuals and might include rashes and extreme itching. The cause for these may be fragrances and preservatives added to the sunscreen.
Sun block which does not contain PABA is generally labeled “hypoallergenic”. You can also call for a patch test if you are unsure about a product.
-May make acne poor
Some sun protections may contain chemicals which may aggravate the acne problems apart from its benefit of skin bleaching. To keep the allergies at bay you can pick from a wide range of non-comedogenic and non-oily sun protections. Make a note to not use a body sun block on your face as these can be too heavy on the skin of your face.
-Prevent eye irritation
Sun block in the eye may cause a lot of pain and irritation. This irritation can also result in burning and temporary light sensitivity in the eye. The moment the suns protect comes in contact with the eyes make sure that you wash it off with cold water.
-Pus in hair follicles
Use of these may give rise to itchy spots on the skin which might become a bumpy red rash later. These might also turn into puss-filled blisters around the hair follicles if left untreated.
-Vulnerable to Breast Cancer
Few ingredients of the suns protection are studied to have estrogenic effects on the cells of breast cancer. Also remember to not expose children to these since their skin absorbs all the chemicals immediately.
