I Have a Challenge - Moisturizer and sunblock suggestions? w/ autoimmune issues [Sun Care]

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I have a bit of a difficult challenge for anyone who’s a skincare god. Please help! I’m looking for a moisturizer and sunblock.Currently I have oily skin, acne prone but no current breakouts. However I also have flakiness in my T zone, forehead and eyebrows.BUT HERES THE PROBLEM.I’ve been having mystery autoimmune skin/scalp issues for the past two years, and I currently have inflammation in my eyebrows (and scalp for that matter). My eyebrow and scalp hair has been falling off slowly over the past year, and I may have a bit of topical steroid withdrawals in my scalp and eyebrows as well. I can’t risk anything that might set off my skin. This is not AA but something painful and inflammatory.I’m also starting an immunosuppressive medication that causes sun sensitivity, so a good sunblock that’s doesn’t break me out is a must.On top of that I have celiac disease, and I need to avoid anything with hydrolyzed wheat protein or oats, which as in a lot of lotions and creams.Before anyone asks, I have seen a dermatologist and an autoimmune specialist, and will be starting a medication to try and help, however I need a moisturizer and sunblock to introduce that’s safe for my skin and won’t break me out.I know it’s a lot, I’m sick and exhausted and my self esteem after losing my eyebrows and hair as a young women has been pretty crushing, especially because it’s likely scarring and permanent, the least I can do for myself is get some sort of skincare happening. Really would appreciate any help!
