2 weeks in the sun and my face has gone bumpy!

[Theromanempire]

My skin is normally really smooth and soft. I have just spent 2 weeks abroad with a lot of sunbathing and my skin in my face has gone really bumpy. It started pretty much from day 1 of my holiday and is still like that 3 weeks later

I used suncream that was specifically for the face and moisturised every night. I have religiously moisturised day and night since I got back but it still feels the same. I don't think it looks bumpy but it definitely feels like it.

Any ideas? Do I just need to sit it our until the skin regenerates?

It sounds like a sun rash! Don't know the proper term, but I got the same this summer on my chest. I have never had it before and it went away after a week of being home.

I wouldn't worry too much personally

Sounds like prickly heat. Will take a few days to go away. Try gentle exfoliation and don't use oil based products because it's he oil in the pores that causes is.

Thanks I think I always assumed prickly heat/rash would be obvious by sight whereas my face doesn't look different but definitely feels it!
