My skin barrier got damaged after trying on many new products at once. Now I’m in the process of repairing the damage skin. However I am still unsure about using sunscreen. I started getting tiny bumps every-time after using sunscreen. I’ve tried double cleansing too but it is a bit too much for me.
I have normal/combo dehydrated skin. I don’t wear make up, I only apply sunscreen one or two times during the day, so does double cleansing a must? I have iunik sunscreen spf50. Please can anyone advice me. Thanks
Double cleansing isn't a must, if you feel like your skin gets clean using just one cleanser then that is enough.
If you only get the bumps after using sunscreen, then it might be because something in the sunscreen irritates your skin, leading to breakouts.
Do you only get these bumps with sunscreen and not with other types of skincare products? And do you get the bumps with every sunscreen you have tried or only with the current product you're using? If you only get the reaction with sunscreens and with all/most sunscreens you've tried, then it might be the UV filters (in other words, UV-blocking ingredients) used in them that irritate your skin. You could read about different UV filters and try various sunscreens with different filters to find which ones work best for you.
If you've experienced bumps after using some other products apart from sunscreen, or if it's only your current sunscreen that is giving you the reaction, it could be some other ingredient in the sunscreen that irritates your skin. Reading and comparing the ingredient lists of products that give you a reaction could help you eventually work out which ingredients do and don't suit your skin.
