Does sunscreen prevent me from absorbing vitamin D?

The best thing for you is to get your vitamin D through your diet. The amount of sun exposure is unreliable but if you wanted a few minutes per day, do it before 10 am or after READ MORE
The best thing for you is to get your vitamin D through your diet. The amount of sun exposure is unreliable but if you wanted a few minutes per day, do it before 10 am or after 4pm.
My belief and studies show that zinc and titanium are your best sunblockers. They are physical blockers and they reflect the sun rather than absorb it so you will get less rays through. It is important to wear sun protective clothing as well. Most importantly, it is important to reapply your sunblock. Sunblock works to allow you to stay outside for just a certain amount of time longer before you burn. A proper amount of block is 2 ounces per application for the entire body. Stay away from the chemical sunscreens if you have sensitive skin.

There are several reasons that can cause itch after sun exposure. Very often it can be due to the sunblock you are using. Make sure that it is zinc based. It's the best. It also can be due to other creams or medications being used and then getting sensitized due to the sun. Examples of this would be in the retinol or retinoids family. Certain antibiotics can make you more sunburn prone as well. Stopping them may be necessary upon prolonged exposure or even one time.

Next, an autoimmune condition can exist. This would be something like lupus. Some people are initially sensitive to the sun, known as polymorphous light eruption. Generally after repeated exposure the body hardens to this. Antihistamines help as well.

Since there are so many possible reasons, seeing your board certified dermatologist would be best. They can help treat you so that you can enjoy being outdoors.
