Question:
I think SPF is causing a reaction
Hi, for a few weeks now my face has been really itchy and sore. I've tried eliminating certain products from my routine to try and find the cause, I cut out using face wipes for a while, tried using a different moisturiser etc and the most recent thing was to stop using my tinted moisturiser which has an SPF in it. I find that since I've not been using the SPF my skin feels better so it could be that causing the reaction so it seems it could be true when its said SPFs can cause sensitivity, its just what to use when the sun is hot in summer thats will be the problem I guess.
what does it say the ingredients of the spf are?
there are two types so might have to switch
also you might be fine with a mineral foundation which sort of forms a natural spf in!
REN http://www.renskincare.co.uk and Liz Earle have a small range of SPFs which may be a little more sensitive. The REN one is 100% natural although natural may still affect your skin but it may be worth a try if you are struggling to find a suitable one.
Hi, thanks for your replies. I don't know the ingredients of the SPF, its in the tinted moisturiser.
have a look on the ingredient listing - they hsve to list the spf ingredient seperate
maybe titanium or zinc oxide?
