SPF and facial skin irritation

[adh1006]

I may be wrong, but I've noticed a connection between using products with SPF and irritation on my face. When I use products with SPF, I get an irritation on my face, along with whiteheads, and a tingly sensation on my skin. (I try to use oil-free facial products for sensitive skin, btw) This also happens when I use one of my favorite cosmetic lines, Bare Escentuals. I love their products, but I will have to stop using the ones with SPF because I believe it may be the cause of my irritation. I am going to switch to foundation and concealer without SPF, and I've had to stop using facial moisturizers with SPF also. I just cover my skin up as much as possible when in the sun, or I use an umbrella to keep the sun off.

What do you think? Has anyone else experienced facial irritation from SPF?

check out Beautypedia - Paula Begoun's site. https://www.beautypedia.com/registerFree.aspx - Search all reviews - master brand list She has reviewed literally hundreds of products and lists their ingredients as well. Maybe the products you have used are reviewed - you can see what might be the irritants. For me, unnecessary colours and fragrances are always an issue.
