Freckle Cheeks

4.       Some medications that you take internally or apply to your skin can cause skin sensitivity. Among the medicines that can cause this are certain antibiotics and birth control pills. Check with your doctor or pharmacist to determine if what you use on your face or take internally would make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

5.       Stay out of tanning beds. Tanning is equally harmful to your skin as compared to the sun. One tanning bed session is equal to a whole day spent at the beach. These devices expose your skin to lots of pigment-inducing UV radiation, and it’s only inches from your skin.

6. Be consistent in using the sunscreen. Even a few minutes of unprotected sun exposure each day will add up, such as the rays your skin absorbs from walking to the work and getting in and out of your car. Even if you are indoor or in a vehicle, it is still necessary to use sunscreen because most of the pigment-causing UV rays still come through them.
