I’ve started sunbathing because… reasons.
second day: I applied sunscreen to my skin and after some 30 seconds of rubbing my arms, I started to see what I could be dead skin on my hands: tiny balls of grey and white junk, the size of one to several sand grains, but not hard to press like sand or a tiny particle of wood.
The other thing that crossed my mind is it could be rests of the chemical sunscreen I use. Has this ever happened to you with chemical screens?
Is this normal?
It sounds like you just need to exfoliate when you bathe. You’re wiping soap on your skin (presumably), but you need a coarser texture to remove the dead skin cells which build up.
