Question for anyone who likes the beach/ocean

Ok I have very sensitive skin and every time we go to the beach/ocean my legs itch super bad!  It's horrible and unbearable if I shave.  Well we are gone for 7 days and 7 days of not shaving and in a bathing suit or shorts is not happening.  Do any of you ladies have a solution or experienced this?  Thanks!!

Re: Question for anyone who likes the beach/ocean

  • I also have sensitive skin that is bothered by heat, sun and salt/chlorinated water.  I have had success at reducing the irritation by using a thicker sun screen (Banana Boat Sport cream in 30 SPF) and also a thicker lotion after showering (Curel) to keep my skin more moisturized.

    I use the thicker lotion for a about a week before my vacation and that gets my skin very hydrated.  Helps with shaving/irritation while on the trip.

     

    Hope this helps.

  • You should add to the title "and has sensitive skin"

    I like the beach...but cannot help you because I don't have sensitive skin haha

  • Hmm.... I don't know if this is the same thing but I get all itchy when I'm at the beach/ in full sun and heat.   I think it is more of an allergy.

    If so, I'd try taking a dose of benadryl before you hit the pool/beach.

  • It could also be that you are allergic to the sunblock you are using.  I have to use the sunblock for sensitive skin or for little kids.  I'm allergic to everything else.
