The weather is getting better -- Hooray-- but I need to be outside without burning to a frazzle
Can anyone recommend sun creams they use and are good for while on chemo
Thanks in advance
Hi, for me I use a basic Nivea but factor 50 as I was very worried about burning as my skin felt very tender on chemo. Fingers crossed for sunny weather
My skin still burns rapidly six years on. Ten minutes on my face or arm and I know it's burning. I use a Factor 50 all the time. I have a face moisturiser...anti age with Factor 50 too. I have used several makes but I always check it has both UV and UB cover.
