How To Prevent Sunburn?
Hi, I would like to know if you could get sunburnt easily when applying glycerine to the skin like you do for example when you apply baby oil to the skin. I m an equine photographer and I m trying to find products I can put on the horse s face to make it shine that is not harmful and will not let it get sunburn, cause I live in South Africa where it is VERY hot and always sunny.
