I recently started using a new sunscreen and I've noticed that my skin feels a bit darker and dull after applying it. Is this something normal with sunscreens, or should I consider switching to a different one?

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.
