A member asked:

I amm allergic to sunscreen but i work out in the sun all day. what can i do from stop getting burn?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Zinc Oxide: Because zinc oxide is a mineral and is not absorbed, it should provide good protection without irritating your skin. I would recommend blue lizard from australia. It comes in a baby formula which should be excellent for you.
