In summer you’re outside a lot, which means you’re going to be in the sun a lot. If you don’t protect your skin you can get sun burned (then you’ll be red like a strawberry), so to keep your skin safe you’ll need sunscreen. Sometimes sunscreen can irritate sensitive skin so I’m going to list four sunscreens that shouldn’t irritate sensitive skin, but first you need to understand why protecting your skin from the sun is important. If you don’t protect your skin from the sun you can get burned and will put you at risk of skin cancer.
Always make sure that when buying sunscreen that it has a SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 30 or higher. SPF is the amount of protection your skin gets from the sun. Always make sure to reapply sunscreen every two to three hours. You don’t want to buy just any sunscreen (especially if you have sensitive skin) because it can have harsh chemicals in it, so when buying sunscreen I recommend getting a mineral sunscreen. Mineral sunscreens contain less harsh chemicals and are generally just better for your skin. Here are the four sunscreens that should work good for sensitive skin:
