Wearing Sunscreen is Causing Acne!

Why Some Sunscreen Products May Be Bad For Your Skin

Whether the sun is out or I am off on my holidays I know that I will need to apply my sunscreen as the possible side effects of not doing this are just not worth thinking about. However, one thing I do notice is when I am regularly applying sun screen my acne starts to flare up.

What can I do, sunscreen is a necessity but having acne again is doing nothing for how I feel or my confidence. After all what is the point of a nice tan if there is are a load of spots sat on my face?

Finding the best sunscreen for your skin is no easy task, as there are so many brands and products available to buy that it can feel a bit of a minefield. Known ingredients that may cause sun irritation and breakouts are avobenzone, benzophenones, octyl methoxycinnamate, oxybenzone, to name a few.

If you are prone to acne and sensitive skin, being careful on the types of sunscreen lotions you use is a necessity. Some sunscreen lotions on the market can be greasy, oily, can clog the pores, which could make your acne problem worse and irritate sensitive skin.

Skin care specialists recommend the best active sunscreen ingredients that are gentle for your skin whilst still offering the proper protection from both UVA and UVB rays are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.

Remember ever person is unique and therefore there is no guarantee that a sunscreen product with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide would not cause skin problems. Everyone’s skin is different and therefore may react differently to another person. So you do not suffer a reaction to a sunscreen, use proven products that others have had success with and try different creams to see which suits you and your skin the best.

Yes applying sunscreen can feel like such a pain to do, but it really doesn’t have to be. If you are able to incorporate it in to your morning routine like you would brushing your teeth, then it will become second nature to you.
