(For the previous write up on the Piz Buin rash, click HERE)
So by now I assume that this rash has been caused by a chemical called oxybenzone that Piz Buin have cleverly decided to add to their formulations, because it’s clear they don’t really care about the customer! They’ve added an ingredient to their formulation that is known to cause skin problems. They haven’t yet replied to my e-mail either. The rash is going away now with anti-histamines, but it’s still there and where it is subsiding, the skin is now getting dry and peeling.
I look hot! It’s difficult to grab a photo of the rash, but in a certain light I got this:
Remember this is around 48 hours after applying the cream, and after taking anti-histamines.
So that has been all over my body where I applied the sunscreen on the weekend, it is so ridiculous.
So I won’t quite be recommending Piz Buin this summer, or any summer. If you do have sensitive skin, or actually just normal skin because I’ve never had a rash before, skip the Piz Buin. I’ll be updating you soon on the new sunscreen range that we’ll be using this summer in Cape Town.
