Hi guys

There has long been a problem within my family with sun sensitive skin. We all suffer from skin allergies such as prickly heat when exposed to the sun for long periods of time. I really want to try an alternative medicine to just taking anti hystermines after the problem has happened.

Any good advice or experience would be great...

have you tried some cooling spritz, like infusing a distilled water with some herbs that help skin, such as chickweed and speedwell, then adding a few drops of an essential oil, i would chill it in the fridge, then spritz it on when I went outside to keep skin moist and unirritated. Seabuckthorn is a essential oil that has natural uv protectors in it. There is also a blend of oils you can find on the web called boo boo serum, they are organic and heal a variety of external skin ailments. but sadly lots of my asian friends have the same problem they are allergic to the sun, and in general have to stay out of it and cover up a bit :{ good luck.

I used the homeopathic remedy called Sol for this situation and it helped considerably. I think I got it at Ainsworth homeopathic pharmacy
