Ah, Spring-Summer. Long days, glowing skin and – if you’re not careful – unexpected breakouts. One common myth that still floats around is that SPF causes spots. But here's the truth: SPF isn’t your enemy, residue is!
So... Does SPF Cause Breakouts?
Short answer? No.
SPF protects your skin from UV damage, pigmentation and premature ageing. But it does sit on the surface of your skin – and if it’s not cleansed away properly, that’s when congestion and breakouts can happen.
The Real Culprit: Incomplete Cleansing
After a full day of wearing sunscreen (and maybe a little sweat, makeup or pollution), your skin needs more than a quick wash. That’s where Face Junkie’s double cleanse method comes in.
Step 1: Melt it all away with #4 Antioxidant Cleansing Oil with Green Tea, Argan Oil & Vitamin E
This oil breaks down SPF, makeup and daily build-up. Green tea is rich in antioxidants, helping detox and soothe skin while transforming into a milky emulsion that rinses off clean.
Step 2: Refresh with #1 Brightening Cleanser with Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid & Neroli Oil
Gentle but effective, this brightening cleanser lifts away leftover residue and leaves your skin soft, smooth, and ready to glow. It’s ideal for daily use – especially when SPF is part of your everyday routine.
The Result?
Skin that’s clean, balanced and breakout-free – even in the height of summer.
Top Tip: Finish with your go-to moisturiser and reapply SPF regularly during the day.
