I love the outdoors, but I am also concerned about my skin. Can you tell me guys what I could possibly do to protect my skin from damage? Any good or even the best sunblock product which is hypoallergenic that you guys know? What are home remedies that I can use of?

You might try Jason Natural Cosmetics Earth's Best Organic Sunblock, Chemical Free SPF 30+. It's all natural and really great for sensitive or acne prone skin. It's kind of expensive, over $14 per bottle, but totally worth the price, since it has no mineral oils or foreign chemicals which can clog your sensitive pores. I use this sunblock on my toddler all the time and it seems gentle enough for her skin. We live in a very hot and sunny area so it's definitely important to use the sunblock daily. I found Jasons several years back, after my personal sunblock caused a nasty acne breakout leading to severe skin infection. Turns out my old sunblock had mineral oils and clogged my pores. It led to a scar on my face. I've learned since then, that it's always best to use mineral oil free sunblock. Also, this particular brand is vegan approved, meaning that it wasn't tested on animals and doesn't contain animal fats or animal by-products, so that is good news as well. Best of luck with your hunt for the perfect sun-block. I hope my information helped! Chat with you later.

The best way to protect the skin is not to go outdoors. lol. However, it is very difficult, right? A bit of sunshine is good for the skin to make some vitamins for the body. I wear long sleeves and I try not to go outdoors when the sun is at the strongest. I will be back only after the sun has set.

Try to cover most part of your body. Also go out early morning and come back before 11 a.m. or 12 noon (when the sun is bright) and again go out in the evening and come back by night. So you are not exposed to direct sun light. Also carry an unmbrella if it is inevitable to go out on sunny days.

Coppertone has a new sunscreen out that is really easy to apply. It is a spray mist. They have spf 30 and spf 50, that I've seen. I'm sure they have other spf's as well.
