Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
I understand that you have pimples for which you are using nadoxin gel and tanning and post inflammatory pigmentation. Yes you can use sunscreen all over the face after applying nadoxin gel, but make sure that it is in a gel form . Sunscreen in cream and lotion base can cause new pimples. Suncros gel, Suncote gel, Photoban aquagel etc are some gel based sunscreens.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
