Hello again.
Quick question
Is this the SPF you were recommending?
EltaMD UV Daily Facial Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 for Dry Skin, Dermatologist-Recommended Mineral-Based Zinc Oxide Formula, 1. 7 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00464EC1E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_eBoDCbEAMYWGP
I just want to make sure I buy a right one so if you wouldn’t mind letting me know I’d appreciate it very much :)
My skin tends to burn whenever I apply most sunscreen. Especially chemical but also zinc/titanium blend physical ones too.
I like Josie Moran Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 47. Very gentle and creamy, more lotion than sunscreen vibe, making it comfortable on my face. It got reformulated a while ago, which made it a bit too thick for my personal preference, so I moved on, but it’s still a solid spf.
Currently I use [Elta MD Daily SPF 40](EltaMD UV Daily Facial Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 40, 1. 7 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00464EC1E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_BcHKBb9M446KX), and it never irritates my face. A little shiny but no white cast. It’s not especially moisturizing on its own though.
I agree that there should be a list of recommended sunscreen products. I like EltaMD sunscreens but you have to order online. You can get them on Amazon for ~$20 which is neither cheap nor expensive. They are gentle and have no fragrance.
Other than that, I would just go with something like this Neutrogena one which you can find at any drugstore. For some reason, a lot of people here like Coppertone Water Babies sunscreen too. Paula's Choice are generally good too, but a little more expensive and you have to order online (you can get free shipping by signing up for their emails and $10 off from the PC referral thread).
Find a good sunscreen is hard for everyone. You just have to try and see what you like.
I use EltaMD sunscreen . The one I linked on Amazon is really moisturizing and doesn't burn or clog pores.
Me too! Even an afternoon walking around between classes is enough to turn me pink on sunny days. It's terrible.
This is the one I bought

Mine is the same way in the morning, wish it was like that all the time! Skin repairs itself while we sleep at night, and throughout the day a lot of stressors on the skin cause it to look crappier. The weather, air conditioning or heating, our emotional state, water intake, stress, and sun exposure all can contribute to redness and general crappiness.
So that might be why when you feel tired it looks worse, but I'm not aware of a direct affect.
If it isn't rosacea, you might just have sensitive skin and "thin skin" which is common in very pale people showcases blood vessels because they are sitting closer to the skin's surface.
Also, I don't think I could find the post now that /u/ieatbugs has been permabanned, but she made one a few months ago showing her skin over the past 5 years or so. Starting out really persistently red, and then improving vastly since she started wearing a sunscreen every morning. It turned out the sun exposure was just irritating her skin and leading to the redness. Not a sunburn mind you, just the heat/exposure to the rays itself was bothering her skin. So that might be something to try.

These two sunscreens are the bomb for sensitive skin if you want to try one. They may take a few minutes to soak in so don't apply RIGHT before you need to be somewhere, but they will look nice and not greasy. They're very light.
Should I continue to use the Cetaphil cleanser in my PM routine?
I'm a little unsure about the sunscreen I picked out; I spend most of my day indoors at work. I'm currently living in the bay area in California and will be heading back down to the central coast for school. The FAQ mentions that I should reapply the sunscreen every 1-2 hours. Is this necessary even if I'm almost always staying indoors (aside from a 30 minutes commute to and back from work)?
Also, I had difficulty finding any information regarding acne topicals in the sidebar. I ended up picking this one.
My new schedule looks like this:
AM:
PM:
I intend to introduce each product in the following order: moisturizer, sunscreen, and finally acne topical. Please let me know if there's a more optimal order.
EDIT: I also shave on a daily basis which I intend to do before my PM routine. I'm also unsure about the amount I'm supposed to use for the moisturizer and sunscreen.
