sunscreen and mosquito repellent

[Huni_b]

is it safe to apply mosquito repellent cream and nivea sunscreen?  

I'm travelling to Italy for a few days and might need to apply a lot of that stuff.

Not all sunscreen is healthy for pregnant women. Oxybenzone is a main ingredient in many sunblocks and is supposed to be bad for pregnant women. Find something with zinc instead. Neutrgena for sensitive skin 60 spf is okay... I'm sure there are more sunscreens at a health food market like Whole Foods that would work as well. Only bummer is that these sunscreens tend to be harder to rub in but they will keep you from burning!

Yep it's safe. .i use aveeno sensitive skin sun screen And just get a bug spray with no deet. I use kids bug spray. . It actually smells really good.  :)

Sunscreen is a must. With insect repellent you can apply it to the skin as long as it does not contain deet. If it contains dert the best option is to buy the spray and spray just your clothing

Yes to sunscreen. Go stronger than normal and reapply
Bug repellent cream no, just get spray for your clothes. Up to 30% deet is safe.
