I&#8217;ve tried buying\u00a0expensive sunscreens for sensitive skin from multiple brands, but always the same problem. Is there a natural way to make sunscreen or something I can do to keep from getting a reaction? I know it&#8217;s bad, but I&#8217;ve just taken to not wearing sunscreen now.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Hana<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Dear Hana,<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had a similar problem that sent me to the dermatologist last summer who told me I had a severe photoallergy. He recommended sunscreens with only zinc oxide or titanium oxide. I&#8217;ve used Neutrogena Sensitive Skin which uses only titanium oxide and Blue Lizard Sensitive which has both titanium and zinc oxides and did not have a problem. If you can find one that&#8217;s oil-free and maybe has just one of these two natural ingredients that might work. Beyond that, I don&#8217;t know of any other product you could use. I hope you&#8217;ll try every option before going without sunscreen.
