Prevention Of Sun Allergy

If you have an allergy to sunlight or increased sensitivity to sunlight, may help prevent a reaction of the following steps:

Limit your time in the sun. Keep out of sun 10:00-3:00 when the sun is the brightest.

Avoid sudden exposure to a lot of sun. Many people have Sun allergy symptoms when exposed to more sun in spring or summer. Gradually increase the amount of time you spend outdoors, so your skin cells time to adjust to the sunlight.

Wear sunglasses and protective clothing. Sleeveless shirts and wide-brimmed hat can help protect your skin from the sun. Avoid substances that are thin or have a loose weave - UV rays can pass through them. You might consider wearing special clothing to block UV rays that can be found in sporting goods stores.

Apply sunscreen often. Use a sunscreen with factor broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF) of 30 or higher on exposed skin. Reapply sunscreen every two hours.
