Finding the perfect sunblock for your sensitive skin this summer

You love sunshine and summertime, but usually it means redness, burning or even stinging for your skin. Sound familiar? You most likely have sensitive skin and need sunblock and other skin care items to match your needs.

 For people with sensitive skin, summertime sun care is a bit of a catch-22 – your skin becomes irritable due to sun exposure, but most sunblock you have tried seem to add to the irritation.

As sunscreen should be applied daily, whether rain or shine, it’s not something that can be compromised with. The problem with most sunblock is due to the UV blockers and fragrances included in their ingredients – which can cause redness, burning or stinging.

At Aloe Unique, we have perfected a formula to suit all skin types and offer a range of sun protective products that’ll have your back all year round! Our sun care products are free from UV blockers and fragrances, we’ve listed some of our favourite must haves below:

Some extra tips for sun care if you have sensitive skin:

 Besides having our excellent range of sun care products on your side, those with sensitive skin should take some extra precaution while in the sun.

• When planning to be in the sun, always keep your skin and body hydrated by using your regular skincare products alongside your sunblock etc. and drinking water throughout the day.

• Even if you only feel sensitivity in your face, it’s likely that the rest of the skin on your body is sensitive to sun exposure too. Remember to apply sunblock to the rest of your body and avoid prolonged periods in the sun.
