« After years of allergies, I can finally get back in the sun! »
Mathilde,29
Mathilde, what were the circumstances surrounding your light eruption?
I had always spent my holidays at my parents' house at the seaside. One summer, when I was 18, I got small bumps on my neckline, forearms and shoulders accompanied by unpleasant itchiness. I thought I was having a one-off reaction to the sun. So I waited for the spots to go away and I continued to enjoy the sun for the rest of the summer.

Laure, how did your sunburns happen?
My skin was burning and it even started peeling. I had to apply repair creams every night and wear a tee shirt at the beach even when I was swimming. It took several days to soothe the redness. The next summer, I swore to myself that I would not make the same mistakes! So before leaving on holiday, I scheduled an appointment with a dermatologist.

Marie-Christine, what is your relationship with the sun?
To avoid all risk, I use 50+ sun protection creams 50+ and I simply exercise sound judgement. So, for starters, no sun during the hottest time of the day. Then I protect them with a cotton hat and tee-shirt. Without forgetting to apply sunscreen on a very regular basis (about three times per day). But my biggest concern is when they play at the beach. Because Simon and Jonathan love playing in the water, so far I have always felt obligated to rub them with cream every 10 minutes, which makes my afternoons tedious.
