I’ve started sunbathing because… reasons.

second day: I applied sunscreen to my skin and after some 30 seconds of rubbing my arms, I started to see what I could be dead skin on my hands: tiny balls of grey and white junk, the size of one to several sand grains, but not hard to press like sand or a tiny particle of wood.

The other thing that crossed my mind is it could be rests of the chemical sunscreen I use. Has this ever happened to you with chemical screens?

Is this normal?

    If your shower routine is standing under water and just washing your stinky bits, chances are your body is still covered in sun screen. That stuff is designed to stay on in water. You need to properly wash yourself all over with soap/body wash and use a loofah. That will remove the sunscreen and also exfoliate dead skin.

      This is what I hate with sunscreen. It’s so hard to wash off and the smell lingers. I just avoid the sun instead. lol

        In the US (SoCal) the dryer climates I needed a daily lotion and boy did Lubriderm dona good job with A) daily use B)unscented C)non greasy D)SPF 15 E)affordable.

        Here, in EU the shit is 3x the price with zero SPF… lotion here is crazy expensive ot absolute garbage
