Best sunblock for highly sensitive post cancer skin?

[thelovelywife]

I'm looking for solutions to post melanoma skin care. My face has been seriously damaged as a result of treatment. The skin on my face is thin, delicate and very dry. It's almost like paper. I've tried so many spf lotions and can't find one that doesn't irritate or make my skin itch like crazy. Face is reactive to chemicals and fragrances. I need a sunscreen that can be worn daily. What I really need the help of a Beauty Queen 🙂

@Thelovelywife I would recommend trying Lavanila The Healthy Sunscreen.  It is a natural, chemical-free and fragrance-free sunscreen with UVA/UVB protection.  It contains antioxidants, botanicals, and amino acids to give your skin daily protection and nourishment.

I can't find a answer anywhere on here for natural body wash and lotions for post breast  cancer surgery (wounds), that would last me for a few months only during treatment? Thank you!

@keelybyt ---> Oh Man!!! Thank you. I somehow missed seeing that one. I use several of their products and my skin likes them so far. The fact that it has Hyaluronic Acid is real plus. Off to shop. Not a bad price on that 🙂

I have very sensitive skin and when I go to the beach I use Neutrogena's oil-free sensative skin sunblock SPF 60+. It comes out of the tube very white so, be sure to apply foundation or blend really well if it is for an everyday look.

Thank you. However, I've tried that, and most others, over the counter sunscreens. They deprive my poor skin of much needed oxygen and my skin reacts badly to all those chemicals. I'm looking for a facial moisturizer that also serves as sunblock. I love Perricone MD. But good gawd, who can afford that? I'm just a normal person 🙂

Hi @thelovelywife. Try Josie Maran’s moisturizer plus spf 47. It’s all natural sunscreen and the white cast dissipates when you rub it into your skin. I’ve been using it religiously for years.
