Estrogel and sun cream
« on: June 10, 2023, 04:05:13 PM »

Hi
I'm going on first beach hol since starting hrr and wondering what to do about timings re sun cream etc. Am I better applying it first thing then staying out of sun for first couple of hours then applying sun cream? How long before I can go into the sun/swim? There wouldn't usually be two hours between me waking up, having breakfast and going into the sea so not sure what to do. I can't apply in evening as it effects my sleep.
Also do people pack in hand luggage or put in the case?
Thanks

The Besins Australia site has this info on their Oestrogel patient info:
"Generally speaking, you should wait until one hour
after application before washing your skin, applying
other skin care products or being in close contact
with your partner.1
Skin products such as moisturisers and sunscreens
can be applied 1 hour after application of Estrogel.
This is also when skin can be washed or immersed
in water (e.g. bathing or swimming)"

I always carry medication in my hand luggage, just in case check-in bags go astray!

Thanks! Great it is just an hour, I'd thought it would be longer, I can handle an hour!
God yeah hadn't thought of luggage going missing, that'd make for a miserable week without my hrt.
