Which sunscreen is best for dry, sensitive skin?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 19 years old and going through a rough patch with my skin. My skin is super sensitive, tight, and dry, which is why I think I have a damaged barrier. I have tried to stick to a simple hydrating routine, but I still cannot figure out sunscreen. Any good recommendations for my skin type? I have tried a few, but they were either too greasy, too drying, or gave me small bumps all over my face.
Kindly help.
Thank you.
