5 Sunscreens That Won’t Cause Breakouts

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

You think you’re protecting your skin but next thing you know you’ve got a breakout. Dermatologist Jennifer M. Segal, MD, has said that the two things that can cause sunscreen-related breakouts are occlusion of the pores by comedogenic materials, or a sensitivity reaction to chemical UV-blocking agents. Essentially, mineral based sunscreens can sit on top of the skin and gunk up your pores, while chemical ones can irritate the skin.

Since we all know sunscreen is a must after a Personal Microderm treatment (if you didn’t, now you do ?), we compiled a list of tried and true sunscreens that won’t result in pizza-face! Not to mention that, regular Personal Microderm treatments will prevent these sunscreens from just sitting on the top the skin, clogging up pores, and will allow them to do their job!
