So I rarely apply sunscreen/sunblock on my face because I'm afraid I will have some type of weird reaction to it. My face I'd say is very sensitive so I don't know which to choose. What do you guys recommend?
-thanks(:

Neutrogena is a really good brand when it comes to sensitive skin, honestly I used one of their face sunscreens and it didn't leave my face oily or made me break out, I just never kept using sunscreen (I know bad lol) but I remember neutrogena being a great option!

Yes, Neutrogena has a very good one, I have a little sample size of it so I save it for the beach because it has an spf of 85. But I recommend getting a moisturizer with a spf in it (of at least 30) I use one by eucerin and I really like it, but you can also look into aveeno and simple, for they're good brands for sensitive skin. Then if you can shell out a tad bit of money, I'd definitely go for Clinique. For they test there products, and if they have one person react badly to it they go back and figure out and reformulate it so it's perfect for people with sensitive skin!

Look into Aveeno :) they have oatmeal in theirs which is really soothing. I have super sensitive skin too and have never had a problem with theirs.

SUNSCREEN
Anything above 50SPF is technically considered maxed out and useless, a lot of countries don't even allow companies to advertise performance above 50SPF as it has been found false. 80% of commercial sunscreens contain oxybenzone a hormone-disrupting sunscreen filter and 33% contain retinylb palmitate, a vitamin A linked to skin damage. Oxybenzone is considered a benzophenone and is used in many sunscreens, hair sprays, cosmetics and nail polishes. It is also used in plastics to absorb ultraviolet light. With its use in sunscreen as a broad-spectrum UVB and and short-wave UVA protector, it is acts as a endocrine disruptor. Endocrine disruptors interfere with the hormone system, potentially causing cancer, birth defects and developmental disorders. Oxybenzone acts like estrogen in the body and alters sperm production in males. It is also associated with endometriosis in women and may cause fertility problems. Oxybenzone is also detected in nearly every American and found in mothers’ milk.Retinyl palmitate is a form of vitamin A used in sunscreens and has been found to accelerate cancer in high doses applied. A You.S. gstudy found that it “may speed the development of skin tumors and lesions when applied to the skin in the presence of sunlight.”
Vitamin A, or Retinol, is also used in many skin products that promise to slow the signs of aging, but it's mostly a controversy as an ingredient in sunscreen is due to its effects when exposed to sunlight. The harmful effects of retinyl palmitate include brittle nails, hair loss, liver damage, osteoporosis. Some health autheorities have also suggested for women pregnant or breastfeeding to avoid any products with vitamin A due to the skeletal birth defects it may cause.

I have one by 100% pure argan oil spf 30, ingredients are legit and I would love it if it was meant for my skin type. It's rather a touch too greasy for me. But for normal to dry I recommend that for you.
