i woke up with my right side of my face swollen
I am officially allergic to sunscreen!
Yesterday i bought the coppertone sunscreen stick at target
It's like this big chapstick but you apply it on your facial area and it covers all the hard to get areas and it doesn't fall into your eyes and sting, it's like a deodorant!
To test if it would work, i applied some to my chin before going to sleep to see if anything would happen, i literally fell inlove with it because of how easy it was to just put on,
but UNFORTUNATELY, i woke up today with my right side of my face swollen [and WTF i only applied to my chin!!!]
but luckily! it isn't as bad as the one i had previous to this allergic reaction.
BUT WTF. if I'm allergic to sunscreen what the fuck am i supposed to use to protect my skin from the sun!??!
It sucks that you can develop allergies for things later on in life
I honestly thought I was perfect because I was never allergic to anything
like I used to use a bunch of sunscreen products and i had no problems with it but now..
but now I have problems with it =[ and it sucks. because I LOVE the sun.
Contact Dermatitis is an itchy, blistering skin rash caused by direct substance with the skin. There are two types of contact dermatitis, irritant and allergic. Contact dermatitis results in 5.7 million doctor visits each year in the United States, and all ages are affected.
How Do Sunscreens Work?
Sunscreens work in one of two ways:Chemical Absorbers: Most sunscreens absorb ultraviolvet (UV) radiation (the energy from the rays of the sun) and turn this energy into a less dangerous form of radiation that causes less damage to the skin. There are sunscreens that absorb different types of UV radiation, such as UVA and UVB. Chemical absorbers include most of the available sunscreens that can be rubbed completely into the skin.
Physical Blockers: These sunscreens reflect the sun’s radiation away from the skin, so that it is not absorbed. Physical blockers include zinc oxide, the brightly colored sunscreens frequently used on the nose and lips of beachgoers.
