Should I still apply sunscreen even if my acne is severe?
There are mineral and chemical sunscreens.
mineral sunscreen It blocks ultraviolet rays using physical filters physical sunscreen as, Reflects UV rays without absorbing them into the skin It is a mineral sunscreen, so it is less irritating to the skin. Since mineral sunscreens block UV rays immediately upon application, there is no need to apply them in advance, and they are said to last for about 8 hours as long as they do not wear off. However, compared to chemical sunscreens It is difficult to apply and leaves a white cast. There is a tendency to leave behind.
organic sunscreen It is a chemical sunscreen that is easy to apply without caking, protecting the skin from UV rays without leaving streaks. However, since it is a chemical sunscreen that absorbs into the skin, it is said to potentially cause allergic reactions in people with sensitive skin.
I can't say which is better, but my concern is... my kids with acne.
My child has really severe acne.
I can't sleep well ㅠㅠ (because I'm studying)
If you can't sleep, your face turns red and acne becomes more severe.
There is also suppuration.
I'm wondering if I should apply sunscreen even to a child like that.
I am also curious about how to properly wash my face after applying sunscreen.
