Ive been using this sunscreen, but after applying it, I feel like my skin looks slightly darker and dull. Is this normal or should I consider switching to a different sunscreen?

If you experience darkening or dullness after applying sunscreen, it may be due to the product's ingredients, such as oxybenzone or avobenzone, and consider switching to a physical sunscreen containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which are less likely to cause this issue.
