PLEASE HELP!!! SKIN QUESTION

Postby qtong » Sun Jul 02, 2006 8:08 pm

HI guys,

everytime after i surf espeically during the summer, my face appear several white spots on it near my nose area. do you guys have same experience? so i have to wait for couple weeks till it disappear then go back. Maybe because of the sunblocks? what sunblocks do you guys use? or any after surf skin care products to use?


Thakn You So much

I have great luck with Coppertone Sport. I use an SPF 30 on my face when surfing, but a SPF 15 if I'm just chillen on the beach.

I normally use Nivea sun cream (SPF 12) while I'm in and out of the water and then afterwards, exfoliate in the shower and use Bananaboat aftersun or the nivea aftersun.

Sunblock uses very powerful chemicals obviously, but after a day at the beach it's important to get it all off, especially if you have sensitive skin.

And also, dont use your 'last years' stuff, cos it loses it's blocking power and you could get burnt.
