best sunscreen recommended for sensitive skin - #15852
I am really struggling to find the best sunscreen recommended for sensitive skin. Last summer was a nightmare for me because I thought I got a decent product, but my skin ended up looking like a lobster, and I was itching like crazy within an hour of applying it. I didn’t even spend that much time in the sun! I just went to the park with my kids for a couple hours and ended up with a rash. This year, I really want to avoid that!! I’ve tried a few different brands, but one of them made my face break out, and another just felt greasy and gross. I read somewhere that some ingredients can be irritating, but I’m not sure which ones to avoid. A friend suggested looking for mineral-based options, she swears it changed her life, but I’m still skeptical. Can anyone tell me what is the best sunscreen recommended for sensitive skin that won’t make me look like a tomato or have my skin freak out? I've also heard people talking about SPF ratings and if the higher numbers are better, but honestly, I just want something that works without all the drama. If you’ve found a product that you love for sensitive skin, I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions!
