Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Though calamine acts as sunscreen but I would defer you from using calamine on face as it can block your pores and cause acne.
Apply water-based sunscreen as they are not oily and thus are cosmetically more elegant. (SUNCOTE sunscreen gel )
Hope this will take care of your issue.
Wish you best of health.
Thank you
