are you sure this is from the sunscreen?
because if you didnt reapply, maybe you got a sunburn...

RULE of thumb for Allergic reactions.

or really ANY products for the face. The LESS ingredients usually the better.

even those hypoallergenic things u still gotta be careful.the cosmetics industry does not nearly go through the same kind of regulation checks as say medication. for example, some say dermotologist tested...literally can mean one dermatologist tried it. no kidding. i learned this in my cosmetics knowledge class.

i get itchy skin alot too. umm banna boat wasnt too bad on me but only the sensitive one

but i mean for your face. try higher spf and ones made for skin on ur face. if u tend to use more asian products stick to those brands. and english brands stick to those.

go to your dermatologist and get a skin test so you know exactly what you're allergic to so you can avoid them in the future.

Yeah I'm allergic to sunscreen too. A few years ago I put some of my moms sunscreen on, and 15 mins later, i had all these little bumps all over my body. I had to go to the doctors and get prescribed creams just to get rid of it. And I cant really use any chapsticks that have spf in it either. But its fine. I keep out of the sun, and I wear a jacket no matter how hot it is. Hahah.
