Hi all, hoping someone can help. I'm looking for some recommendations for an Organic factor 50 suncream. Before BC treatment and radiotherapy I used 30spf from The Green People as I get prickly heat and that worked brilliantly but they don't do 50spf. Been advised to avoid sun as much as possible and use 50spf, but hubby booked a mini break in Jersey for August as a treat after crappy year so far so need to be extra careful. Any recommendations welcome. Hope you're all doing okay.
Thanks x
I din't know about organic but I have a nice SPF50 from the Body shop which is vegan. It's quite expensive and I use it in my face and neck / radiotherapy breast area.
Thanks for info I'll have a look at that one too
I use factor 50 Altruist dermatologist sunscreen as it is unscented and for sensitive skin. It's really good.
Thanks, not heard of that one but had a look and seems to be similar to the factor 30 one I used, so another one to add to my list
Good morning Hmfm how long after treatment did you go on holiday im looking to go as hopefully i will be going for radiotherapy in a few weeks so just wanted to know how long it was before i could get away as had booked my holiday in may but at to cancel due to diagnosis
I started using Green People brand skin care products after my diagnosis...cleanser, moisturiser etc., and have recently bought their sunscreens (holiday booked abroad for September, first in 3 years). I'm not a sunbather but I also bought a rash guard top spf50 from a sports store to make sure my skin is well protected for swimming.
