Why do I sunburn no matter what?

It doesn’t matter what spf I use.

I am starting to think I’m allergic to sunscreen because not only to I burn, I burn AND itch. I don’t have hives or anything but I’m burnt so bad.

I thought it was just because I am really really white. Like my skin shade is naturally ivory pale white, the sun reflects off of me. I wore sun screen today and was only out in the sun for a few hours and I am so miserable right now that I want to cry.

Why. Just why. I guess I should just avoid the sun like a vampire. Carry an umbrella out with me in the sun. I can’t even enjoy my summers because of this, because I burn so bad it makes me not want to do anything.

I was using spf 50 and applying every hour and every time I got wet. I was trying so hard to not get burned. 😔 I even thought I was staying in the shade a good amount of time too
