Help with sun allergy
Sun - stress for the skin
Who starts from the office routine in the beach holiday, has a lichtempfifindliche skin, since she has not yet built up a protective Lichtschwiele. Light-skinned women with itchy blisters react to intensive lightning - on the neckline, shoulders and arms.
It is believed that in some people, an immune response is triggered when the sun's rays hit the unprepared skin. Under the influence of UV rays free radicals are formed, which trigger cell stress. Cell protectors such as vitamin E or antioxidant mineral complexes put them in combination with high UV factors largely out of action.
Unfortunately, there is no guarantee of effectiveness for everyone. It's worth a try. Some allergic people also swear on capsules with carotenoids such as lycopene to prevent irritation. The capsules must, however, be swallowed two to four weeks before the sunny holiday.
Mallorca acne
It is very rare, but also very unpleasant: The strongly itchy nodules are a UV radiation-related reaction to fats and emulsifiers that are in sunscreen. Best preventive use products that are free of it. Practical for on the go: sticks with sun angel, which does not require known allergy triggers. And make sure that after-sun products are free of problematic substances.
Allergic reaction
Other substances can cause allergic reactions during sunbathing: medications (eg antibiotics, rheumatism, St John's wort), fucomarin-containing plants (eg, bear's claw, fig tree, angelica, meadow rue), citrus fruits and essential oils such as bergamot oil. Best to avoid contact. In the worst case, let the doctor prescribe an anti-inflammatory cortisone cream. Who has problems with chemical UV filters: switch to sunscreen with deliberately low concentration or on mineral filters with micropigments of titanium dioxide or zinc oxide.
D rather not!
Do not work on your own with cortisone ointment. Although it has an anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effect, it can also cause irritation under UV light.
