Hi everyone,
I went camping last weekend and have used a sunscreen for sensitive skin was was suppose to be non-greasy and all that. Well to cut the story short I have broken out on my face like crazy and I'm getting really angry because my face was just starting to look great and now all these stupid acne are coming back again.
Does anyone know of a quick fix or can someone please recommend a sunscreen which is strong enough for Australian harsh sun but won't clog pores?
I'd really appreciate feedback.

i highly suggest u use a good cleansing oil to remove the sunscreen. sunscreen usually causes or aggravates acne because it is not removed properly. the shu uemura one is good but too expensive, usually the cheaper japanese cleansing oils work equally well.i personally use the muji one which is fragrance free and very value for money.
i am currently experiencing a sudden breakout myself.i have completely stopped putting creams and stuff on my face, just removing makeup with oil cleanser, followed by a soap free gel cleanser and the final step--the most important one--rinsing your face with warm salt water.
the salt water rinse is a godsend.it will dry up the spots almost overnight, and also calms inflamed skin. try it. i hope it helps u. if i have no makeup on i just use the salt water rinse to wash my face. and pls wait till your face is completely calm and breakout-free before u pile on all the good stuff ;0p
good luck. |

thank you for your reply. i have brought cleansing oil with me (dermalogica) and have tried to wash my face with it but it just got too consumed into the sunscreen and it has made it very hard for me to wash it off. I had to wash my face three times to get it all off, it was truly disguisting  maybe dermalogica precleanser is not as good as i thought it was. |

did you use it correctly? I used it before i find it pretty good. 
1)Pour the cleansing oil on your DRY hands
2)Massage gentle on your face
3)Add abit of water on your hand and massage again, this time you will see the cleansing oil become milky color. Massage it to disolve the makeup/wadever impurities on your face.
4)Wash with plenty of water.
5)if you feel it is still only, use your normal facial wash to hv a double cleanse. |

| DDF sulfur mask can be healing and soothing. I find it helpful when my skin goes crazy like this. |

I have used it correctly, I use it every night after work.
I used Banana Boat 30+ for sensitive skin.
I hope I get over this soon because it's quite embarrasing seeing clients with face like this. I'm too young to do what I do anyway, with these stupid pimples I look 18. |

| I breakout to both physical and chemical sunscreens, so consider that as well when trying a new sunscreen |
