Can SPF cause breakouts?Updated a year ago
SPF can sometimes cause breakouts if it’s not formulated for your skin type or if it’s not removed properly. However, this can be avoided by:
Choosing the right formulation: Look for non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) and oil-free formulas if you have acne-prone skin. Rodial offers SPFs specifically designed to be lightweight and non-greasy, ideal for those prone to breakouts.
Proper cleansing: Make sure to thoroughly remove SPF at the end of the day. Use a gentle cleanser that effectively removes all traces of sunscreen, makeup, and other impurities. Double cleansing, which involves using an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based one, can be particularly effective in ensuring your skin is completely clean without causing irritation or breakouts.
