I use neutrogena oil free acne wash?

Question

2 times a day

i skateboard daily and after i wash my face early in the morning

and go skating my face is very tender and has a burning sensation and while i skate i sweat alot so i wipe my face off with my shirt or something and my face begins to burn

the section that is burning the most turns black after a while

and also i am black so is it a skin thing or something

why does it do that please help!!!!

Answer 1

Salicylic acid, the active ingredient in the face wash you speak of, is an irritant.  Try a non-medicated face wash for sensitive skin, such as Cetaphil.  I have the exact same problem.  If acne is a major problem for you I would recommend seeing a dermatologist.

Answer 2

your not supposed to go out into the direct sunlight after using it. its the orange liquid, right?
