My skin is very sensitive to sunscreen ingredients. Can anyone with similar experiences recommend me some bb creams?
Hi there. Thanks for reading.
I've always wanted to experiment with bb creams, but since I often get some type of allergic reaction, I've been steering away from them. I was hoping if there's anyone with sensitive skin/sensitive to sunscreen ingredients who can give me recommendations.
I've tried but did not like:
- Missha's BB Cream (very very itchy immediately, skin started to peel afterwards)
- Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream (very very itchy immediately)
- L'Oreal's Beautifier BB Cream (very very itchy immediately)
- Burt Bee's BB Cream (itchy after 3-4 days of use)
- Physician's Formula BB Cream (itchy after 3-4 days of use)
- Physician's Formula Organic Tinted moisturizer (itchy after 3-4 days of use)
At first I thought it was the chemicals in the sunscreen. So I tried buying natural sunscreen like zinc oxide (in Burt Bee's BB cream/Physician's Formula) but I get itchy after 3-4 days of consecutive use. It's like a delayed reaction or something.
I haven't tried any other brands due to the price. I didn't want to buy a whole container of expensive bb cream and not use it due to allergic reactions.
I am also very socially awkward so the thought of going to Sephora and asking for help scares me so here I am asking for help. XD
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!
