Q My face gets a awful bumpy rash after swimming at the beach for longperiods of time. It is bumpy and some even look like tiny pimples it goes away typical in 48 hours. It is only located on my face and shows up about 12 hours after ive been in a salt water. What could this be? Is it preventable?
A

Thank you for reaching out to us. I would recommend that you cleanse your face as soon as you get out of the water with the brand Bioderma, their Sensibio H2O Wipes. Follow with the brand Supergoop their SPF 50 Sun-Defying Sunscreen Oil with Meadowfoam ,It could possibly be your sunscreen that is making you have these bumps, but follow this routine and see if it continues. Make sure that you really cleanse your face the minute you get home as well. I hope this helps, have a nice day !Cyndee Dermstore Esthetician
