How To Prevent Severe Sunburn?
i am suffering from severe sunburns on my face and hands. Though I apply sunscreen while going out (SPF 50+) I still get sun burns. I am on treatment for curing sunburn. I was applying triglow cream mixed with a moisturizer during day time as well as night about 5 months back as a treatment for hyperpigmentation. I am worried if this sun burn is a side effect of triglow cream. How long will triglow cream have effect on my skin? When will i stop getting sunburns?

Hi,
Triglow cream should not be applied during the daytime.
It will cause sunburn.
You should be applying the sunscreen every 4 hours during the daytime.
The effect of triglow will take 7-8 months to go off.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
