ANSWER: Hello Sadia,

I do not understand the story about the eye drop, but it looks like you're strongly allergic to the sunscreen cream you put on your face. So it's very simple: stop using it and whenever you want to use a sunscreen, just apply a tiny bit of the chosen cream or lotion on your neck to see if it's fine. Once you are sure there's no reaction, use it normally.

Meanwhile, if you really have a bad reaction going on, you may need to see a doctor to curb the reaction. If it's only a mild reaction, you can use white clay mask (mix white Kaolin clay with water or chamomile floral water to obtain a smooth paste, apply it on your face for 10-15 min without letting the mask dry). You can find more information about masks here:

You may also use pure Orange Blossom (Neroli) floral water as a soothing lotion. Jojoba oil, Almond oil, Wild Musk Rose oil or Shea butter (organic of course!) will also provide relief and soothing for your stressed skin. Do not apply any essential oil, as they might trigger a bigger reaction.
Drink plenty of water, stay away from the sun for some time and eat lots of fruits and greens.

Let me know if you need more information and how it works for you.

QUESTION: thanks alot for your response...........so i can say that i have allergy on my face and also chemical burn from that sunscreen cream.......so i can see some dark circles or black color allergy around my eyes.....in this case can i put cucumber on my face or eyes????????or how can i reduce those dark circles or black color allergy around my eyes??

Answer
Hello Sadia,

Yes, you can use cucumber to help heal your skin. You can juice a cucumber and mix the juice with organic milk 1:1. Then apply the cucumber milk on the damaged areas with a wet cotton pad and leave it for 15-20 min. Repeat twice a day.
I would still recommend using Wild Musk Rose oil as it is a powerful skin healer which would help you a lot. You should also still consider the tips I gave you in my previous answer.
Be patient and take good care of yourself.
