Is My Moisturizer w/ Sunscreen Breaking Me Out?
I’m pretty bummed, actually, that what I’ve always pretty much known to be true is actually really true still after all these years. Sunscreens ALWAYS made my face break out when I was younger. I thought maybe it might have been since when I was younger there used to be harsh additives to sunscreens, and a lot of those irritants have since been removed from common sunscreen, especially facial, but I really think I have a sensitivity to sunscreens that may not be all that common.Â
I purchased a new moisturizer that has a 30 SPF in it. It’s by Aveeno, and since I kind of like the acne wash I purchased by them, I figured I’d try another product in their “radiant” line. So I bought the Radiant moisturizer with soy extract (good stuff usually) and an added benefit of having the extra sunscreen in it, in addition to the sunscreen my Bare Minerals makeup offers (which may not be full coverage as I’ve been told recently).Â
I’ve only been using the Aveeno moisturizing cream for a few days now, but I noticed yesterday that I was getting small bumps on my chin, which is exactly where I get the acne bumps when I irritate my skin with stimulants, caffeine, and other things my skin rejects as toxins. Well, the only common denominator is that I did have a small cup of coffee – and I mean SMALL at my moms two days ago, but that amount normally would not make my skin rough, and this time it either did, or my new moisturizer with 30 SPF is to blame.Â
This is a shame that they can’t make sunscreen lotions for the face completely noncomedogenic. I thought this one would have been but I may be wrong. I’ll keep you posted on whether it’s the sunscreen or not. Hopefully not since one of the best natural acne treatments is to stay out of the sunlight, which is contrary to what some may think! Also, I owe you a review of the Aveeno foaming acne face wash, but I’m too tired to do that one now, so it’ll have to wait
