I am eight weeks post skin flap on my nose. When do people start applying sun cream. I am now starting to go out a bit more. I have brought Altruist sun cream on a recommendation. Fragrance free and paraban free. Planning on going out and wearing a cap. Not got appointment with consultant until June 6th so was planning to ask him but appointment is ages away. Has anyone been told when can apply.  Thanks in advance. 

  • Hi Its me again  I wear the Boots No 7 Factor 50 suncream every single day.  Serum, Moisturiser then suncream.  If I am going out I then apply No 7 Factor 50 foundation.  My Consultant told me to not even hang washing out on a sunny day without protection.  I am so cautious.  Hubby also got me a Factor 50 sun umbrella for the garden that also tilts. This was from John Lewis and is  brilliant Just had coffee sitting under it.  We have to lead as normal a life as possible, but take extra care.  I wear sun hats on holiday and if out for a day, but not for shopping etc. Had I been a sun sorhsipper all my life and used sun beds I could accept it, but I didnt. Just walked around normally in it and may have sat on a beach for an hour, no more and always used sun cream.  I am so fair skiined I am white but dont care now about being sun tanned,  I look at people walking around on holiday looking like a baked lobster and think just wait until you are older, you will suffer. Love to all fellow sufferers xx

  • Hi  

    It's good that you're looking for ways of covering up but please don't be tempted by a baseball cap as they do not protect your ears or the back of your neck.
