Lime Juice and Photosensitivity

May 10, 2008 23:28


I've replaced the traditional ACV rinse with lime juice mixed with chamomile tea. As its getting hotter (28 degrees in May, woohoo that's unusual for the UK!) and sunnier, I'm worried about lime juice reacting with UV rays and causing skin problems. I don't want to go back to vinegar, but I don't know what else I can use.

I found this article on photosensitivy, but there doesn't seem to be much on the internet that's very educational about it or any the intricate detail on citrus causing photosensitivity :P
