To Avoid Breakouts

Excuse: Smothering thick sunscreen all over your body can aggravate some people's skin and lead to pimples, not only on the face, but also on other parts of the body.

The Fix: Look for bottles that are oil-free and noncomedogenic, and use a sunscreen specifically formulated for the face. As soon as you're done playing under the sun, take a shower to wash it off. This should help prevent acne.

I try to just avoid the sun as much as I can. \u00a0Every single sunscreen I've found makes me break out into rashes. \u00a0Even so-called hypoallergenic or "sensitive" versions. \u00a0

I wear sunscreen on my face everyday... but I know I should wear it on the rest of my body as well. Being in SF, I never know when I'm going to find myself spending a few extra hours in the sun.
