if your skin was irritated before the moisturizer may "just" have exacerbated the irritation due to its formulation. maybe it contains fragrance or something else that is usually tolerated but since your skin was already irritated...😬
maybe temporarily change your moisturizer for a soothing one. or skip it for a while? and only use your mist and SPF in the morning🤔

yeah you have a point, the new moisturizer does have fragrance but fragrance isn’t generally a sensitizer for me. i probably shouldn’t have used a new moisturizer since my skin was a lil irritated anyway 😅 i’m thinking i should just stick to my usual moisturizer for now, and use the new one once my skin has calmed down. tho i’m still now sure why putting on sunscreen somehow stopped the irritation 🤔

I’d try a patch test anyway, just to see if you react again. We did some remodeling last year, and the dust from the drywall was a definite irritant for me.

i did a patch test yesterday evening and it was fine, so i’m guessing the environment is a big contributing factor rn. since it’s also making eczema flare up 😭

yeah, i reckon it’s all the debris dust in the air. the moisturizer was particularly occlusive, and i’m guessing it also trapped all that micro dust particles onto my skin 😣😭

It could be the environment. But I suggest you go back to your usual routine, minus actives (if using any).
