I think they should out sunscreen testers like perfumes cause it's difficult to find the right one for your skin especially Black skin... I've never used one and I wanted to ve a try... bought eucerin sunscreen for 18 euros, I tried it on and I was breaking out like hell...
Awww I’m sorry! I haaaaate wasting money on bad products 😓 But I have tried a lot of sunscreens both here on TH-cam and on my blog so that at least takes some of the guess work out ❤️❤️
If you are not allergic to avocado oil, i recommend you to try Mustela Very High Sun Protection SPF 50/PPD 25. It's a semi-physical sunscreen for babies. It contains titanium dioxide and non-irritating chemical uv absorbers, which aren't approved yet in the US, but are used widely outside the US and Canada. You can buy it on Amazon UK. It's very cheap. I have an acne-prone and sensitive skin, and i have no problem using it. Unlike most chemical sunscreens out there.
I love black women, the best way to find anything to suit my skin tone is always covered by black women. So I don't have to waste money on products that don't work! Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge
Amen i got my notebook out right mow ! Amd i still haven’t gotten the memo on if we have to just focus on mineral for our face and we can use chemical On our bodies bc that wud be expensive as hell
We NEED SUN for Vitamin D3... We also need LESS sunscreen because melanin tends to block sun. I use on face mostly, to keep discoloration away, but let sun hit body
HELLO MY GORGEOUS FRIENDS! TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro: Sunscreen MUST be part of your routine even if you have dark skin 0:46 What's the difference between mineral sunscreen and chemical sunscreen? 2:55 La Roche Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral Ultra Light Face Sunscreen 6:44 Cotz Flawless Complexion Spf 50 8:08 Australian Gold Botanical Tinted Face Sunscreen SPF 50 11:26 Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Dry-Touch Sunscreens 14:55 Versed GUARDS UP DAILY MINERAL SUNSCREEN BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 35 NOTE: these are MINERAL/PHYSICAL SUNSCREENS. Ingredients include titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide. I have been focusing on more MINERAL/PHYSICAL SUNSCREENS because over the years people with deeper skin tones have told me that chemical sunscreens (the more dominant sunscreens you'll see on the market) irritate their skin or they're allergic to them. MINERAL/PHYSICAL SUNSCREENS typically tend to leave a white cast on the skin though, so finding one that works for black skin can be hard. That’s why I’ve been testing them-to help you find ones that aren’t ashy ❤️ So you will not see some of your favorite sunscreens listed in videos like these (ie Black Girl Sunscreen or Supergoop Unseen) because those are CHEMICAL sunscreens. I actually prefer chemical sunscreens (FOR ME) and have tested a ton of the over the years and you can find many of them on my blog: tsabd.com/non_ashy_sunscreens. I have found some mineral sunscreens though that I love-check em out in my Mineral Sunscreen for Dark Skin playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLtL9S7jYiBcNeoKFRyfQLu8ItTb-6kONM.html Best ones I’ve tried so far: tsabd.com/best_mineral_dark_skin_blog
Right now I am using CereVe Ultra Light SPF 30 (chemical) and Neutragena Sensitive Skin SPF 50 (mineral). The Neutragena leaves a slight cast but it disappears pretty quickly and I like it. I am medium dark skinned. Both of these are in the $12-15 range.
Great video! Compared to chemical sunscreens, mineral sunscreens are also highly recommended for people of darker complexion who’s fighting hyperpigmentation.
I HAVE to wear sunscreen...due to a skin condition that makes my skin have an inflammatory response to sunlight and stress. But as a person of color, I hate having to slather on even when they advertise “clear zinc” sunscreen when I come out looking like a ghost...so far I’ve tried a lot of different sunscreens but only one (Purlisse) has gone on without a white cast. Hopefully one of these works out for me.
This vid's almost a year old but when I tell you I needed it!!! I'm allergic to chemical sunscreens (the ones I'd had the misfortune of trying) so I had become a long sleeve, hat wearing, hope-for-the-best person. Mineral sunscreens were suggested but I didn't know where to start. I'm also dark-skinned so looking grey was a fear. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! I'm gonna buy Cotz and Versed, and see which one I like best
I was totally was one of those people that watched another video then asked if you tried another 🙈 but you were a gem and replied and redirected and recommended ! Haha.
I’ve learned so much! When I first started using sunscreen everything I tried had a white cast. I thought that was normal in sunscreen and I would go out looking like I was wearing circus make up. So embarrassing LOL. I had never seen a review from someone with more melanin like me ❤️. Now I know I don’t have to sacrifice my current looks for sun protection. 🥲
Cotz Flawless Complexion has been hands down the best for me. I just copped my second bottle the other day. It’s perfect to keep Casper 👻 away and leaves a nice dewy finish for dry skin humans 💜
Every sunscreen I've tried has made my face itch. I've tried physical and chemical, but chemical aggravate me more. I've ordered a sunblocking scarf to help cover my face,
I heard chemical sunscreens are better for acne prone skin because they are lighter and don't clog up your pores. La roshe Posey(not tinted, or zinc ones), neutrogena Helio Plex recommended. X
Last summer I purchased and returned the non-tinted mineral sunscreen by La Roche-Posay. It leaves a white cast that I believe is even too white for the lightest skin out there.
The Laroche pose say ultralight SPF 60 chemical sunscreen is fabulous for my skin. It’s liquidy but the texture on my skin is fantastic and at least absolutely no white cast.
I'd love to try de neutrogena ones. Since I have oily skin, I find it hard to find one that does not break me out, and that does not leave me even more pale than I already am...
This is by far the best video! I’m darker skinned and wasted my money on two sunscreens on my search for the best 😩. She is not lying about the neutrogena taking some muscle to work in!! Whew LOL. I also tried sunbum and no matter how much I worked in it still would leave a little cast on me and leave my face dry asf. Definitely gonna try Versed or Cotz next and I’m excited!
@@Slaymayas That CoTz smh. I tried the sensitive and looked like a glazed doughnut and my face stayed tacky. I wondered what that smell was a penny!!!’ So right.
I just prefer chemical sunscreens because they feel more like skincare. I generally use Korean or Japanese ones. I do carry colorscience brush on mineral sunscreen powder in my makeup bag to touch up if I have to go outside during peak hours. I only wear mineral if I'm doing a no makeup activity in the sun, and I know I'll need to reapply every two hours. Btw, try the Laroch Posey non tinted broad spectrum physical and chemical mix sunscreen: it takes a bit to work in the skin, but it doesn't leave a cast after. It's a great doc recommended sunscreen.
GIRL!!!! THIS HAIR!!!!! 🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾 Out of all your looks, this must be my fav. You’re giving us Pam Greer meets Kenya Moore. You did that!!!! Can’t even focus on the content 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for this video. I recently found out that I am allergic to chemical sunscreen and I was looking for some good options in mineral sunscreen that dont leave the ugly white cast. This video was super helpful. I am going to give Versed sunscreen a try.
Love this! I'm using Murad's City Shield which costs a small fortune but is the ONLY mineral sunscreen for sensitive skin that doesn't break me out or cast. I'm excited to try Versed now that I've seen you try it! Thank you, Sis!
I am sooooo disappointed that you didn't like the Australian Gold bb cream! I like the original tinted version: it doesn't irritate my skin and leaves a fabulous matte finish. I wanted to try that bb cream version for dark to deep skin tones, especially since I'm not wearing makeup with the compulsory mask situation.
Biossance Squalane and Zinc SPF 30 sunscreen is my favorite. It goes on absolutely invisible on my medium brown complexion. Unfortunately, they have discontinued this product because of customers complaining about skin sensitivities. I've never had a problem with it. I made a hack though to get the same result: I mix QRX Labs Squalane and E oil with Vanicream Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50, ( pretty much invisible already,) and the effect is equal to the Biossance sunscreen. After mine runs out, this is what Ill be using. ❤
The La Roche Possay non tinted sunscreen is exactly as you said worse. It will blend but my god you have to rub your face raw just to get it. Also for anyone with facial hair it gets trapped which is a whole other effort.
This was right on time. My favorite sunscreen is the Murad Environmental Shield Essential-C. However, I am always looking for less pricier options. You and your hair are gorgeous. 😍 Great video! On edit: I have never had luck with mineral sunscreen. They all seem to irritate my skin.
Love the vid😘, I’m olive complexion more on the darker side, love color science sof 50, Elta md spf 46, Jordan Harper has an awesome one too I’ve just purchased, sending much love I love hearing people of color doing vids that are good go to products that work 😘
I really enjoyed this video. I typically use the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Watergel Sunscreen. I'm going to try the Versed from Target and see how I like it. Thanks for sharing.....and your HAIR!!! GIRL, YOU SHOULD WEAR IT OUT MORE OFTEN, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!
i use the non-tinted La Roche-Posay non-tinted Anthelios Ultra-Light Invisible Fluid Sun Cream SPF50+ and it’s waaaaay less than $33 over her in the UK. been using it for two years now & my skin loves it 🥰
Such a shame re La Roche Posay! Not sure if you’ve since discovered, but they have an Invisible Anthelios. It’s amazing and completely invisible! Would definitely recommend
Are you talking about this one: www.laroche-posay.us/sunscreen/sunscreen-product-type/face-sunscreen/anthelios-ultra-light-fluid-facial-sunscreen-spf-60-883140012993.html? If so, that is a chemical sunscreen. If that’s not the one you’re referring to, can you link the one you mean.
@@styleandbeautydoctor of course! It doesn’t seem to be on the US site. Not sure why! Here’s the link anyway. Not sure whether it’s chemical or not, but it’s really great for sensitive skin and totally invisible 💕 www.laroche-posay.co.uk/anthelios-shaka-ultra-light-spf-30
Hello Dr. Beauty! And Loving you! Very happy for this video and been checking out your many fab posts including fashion fridays. Thanks gawdess. Happy to find you!
I use the non tinted La Roche Posay and it's great. I am dark skin and blends in with no fuss. I live in London and recently paid just under £14 ($18) on sale. Love your channel. x
Lucky for that price! Glad the non tinted LRP worked for you! I wonder if the formulas avail in Europe are different-someone else said they tried it here and it was an ashy mess for her 😩 And thank youuu 😘😘😘
I have light brown combination skin. I’ve always struggled to find the right sunscreen for me but recently I’ve tried one Korean brand and OMG it totally changed my experience with sunscreens. Currently waiting for another order to arrive. I’m totally i love with how it feels on my skin, not thick and easy to blend. I’ve tried the chemical one from that brand but also seen great reviews about their mineral one so I’ve ordered that + one from another Kbrand. Thanks for the info hun you’re so pretty 😍
Ugh hope you still like it! That one’s a chemical sunscreen though (making the distinction in case people are looking for mineral sunscreens in the comments)
Hi guys I just bought the colorscience spf 50 face shield. It is tinted 100% mineral (physical) sunscreen and it comes in 3 colours on their website the 1. original 2. glow and 3. bronze. I bought the bronze and its working really well for me. Barely any cast on my skin and I don`t wear any makeup on top of it. I would definitely recommend this one for darker skin tones!!. I apply mine with a dry beauty blender (2 layers- allow the 1st layer to dry a bit then apply the 2nd one. I apply 2 layers as in order to get the full effect of spf you are meant to be applying sun screen quite liberally. Don`t forget you neck and nears as well!) so that it soaks in without a cast. I would definitely recommend if its within your budget (£24.50 in the UK). For reference I am around NW45 foundation shade in MAC and estee lauder double wear I wear Sandalwood for the foundation shade. I have sensitive dry skin and have experienced no irritation whatsoever with the sun-screen. I have just bought the colorscience powder version as well so I can use this one to re-apply during the day.
I am almost finished using the Versed sunscreen and I am glad to be done with that. The sunscreen just didn’t work for me because it was difficult to blend on my skin. Too much rubbing for my sensitive skin
The lighter Australian Gold would probably work much better for you. The color is much like the LP and Cotz and blends away without leaving any cast or color behind really....
I dislike the white cast , Especially it becomes impossible for me to wear my foundation power if I wanna wear the sunscreen 🤒🤒 this video helped a lot, thanks for the options now it's up to me to pick the one
Perfect timing for the mineral sunscreens. I prefer mineral bc of my melasma. I’ve been trying the Australian Gold 50 tinted but it’s a bit casty. The deep is too dark And pink but I’ve mixed a little of it and the original tint and it helps. The Cerave spf 30 tinted is nice but stays dewy on the face. I’m definitely going to try the Versed and Cotz. I’d like to see what you think about the Dr Gross mineral spray if possible. Thanks again for the review.
Someone else asked about the DDG spray, too! I’ll look into it. Be mindful of mixing sunscreens with other products as that can degrade the spf-although I don’t have any intel on mixing sunscreens with sunscreens. I’ll have to ask a cosmetic chemist about that.
The Style and Beauty Doctor thanks for the reply. I also forgot to mention getting your opinion on Replenix mineral sunscreen spray and also their cream sunscreen. Take care!
Can you review Colorescience Total Face Shield in Bronze? I'd love to see a real opinion (and swatch) if you have time in one of your next videos! Thanks for all your work and content! :)
My two girls ❤ Danielle & Alicia😘😘☀I feel like such a proud mother hen 💘 when u support each other's channels. Yes yes yes🎉🎉🎉 like minerals. For all of us who are watching our pockets 😁Walgreens has a great variety of sunscreens
I need one that doesn’t leave you shiny, sticky and tacky. I’ve tried Supergoop, Olay, and CoTz Sensitive. All leave the glazed doughnut appearance. The Olay dried down after about two hours but if you have to reapply…. No cast though 🤣.
@@Olivia-qg8ce I the CoTz. I just got the Supergoop Mineral Mattescreen and it has absolutely no shine or stickiness. I’ll be using that one from now on. I hope I can find a sale during Black Friday so I can stock up. It costs way too much for the small amount you get.
I'll try Cotz :) Grateful I found this video. I was today years old when I discovered that black girls need sunscreen :') I just hope I can apply make up while having sunscreen on me 😭
Thank you for this 😊 I’ve been looking for reviews & swatches on the Australian gold rich to deep. I’m medium tan. Deeper then tan & lighter then rich 😏the struggle continues.
That’s what I’ve used for years. I am dark too. BUT I recently found out it has the one chemical that’s supposed to be ‘bad’ for you. Ughhhh. I picked up a couple mineral ones and I can’t. One was Venus Williams’s line Eleven and it leaves that ashy look plus makes my skin feel dry. So NO. Why Jesus!? Why!?
@Kam this video focuses on mineral sunscreens-that one is chemical. I like chemical sunscreens but people are specifically looking for mineral sunscreens here.
@@styleandbeautydoctor you know how the ‘innanet’ can be. Several sites have written about it possibly effecting hormones. You may have already googled by now. Today I tried the Black Girl Sunscreen which states on their bottle that they are free of that particular chemical. It was MUCH better than Venus’s (love you Venus but I can’t do yo sunscreen Ma). I will see how I do with that one, otherwise I admit I am going back to what I’ve used for yearssss - Neutrogena. 🤷🏾♀️
I still use my Nivea..I think it's the Korean one 🤷🏾♀️I'm open to trying something new but this stuff feels like it's gonna last forever lolllll Hey lady!
@@teeeee9174 honestly im not sure. It's a water gel and it's Japanese. Spf of 50. I got it on Amazon. It's the one with the pump. Hope that's somewhat helpful. Apologies if it isn't.
@@styleandbeautydoctor ah! True true. When I get home I'll have to check. I don't eeem(I gotta stop using that non-word but I like it lolll) what kind of spf it is but it's light weight, no white caste, absorbs fast and it gets the job done without messing with my makeup.
The LaRiche Pose SPF 60 ultra light chemical sunscreen leaves no white cast on me/ it is easy to rub in and has a beautiful texture. I love it. Are use the $10 off CVS coupon I get from their membership each month. This is a liquidy sunscreen and I love the shaker bottle. I simply put it on the length of my finger to apply. I just love it
THANK. YOU. I'm a Larinx woman who's been in search for a non-casting SPF50 mineral sunscreen for years. All the reviews I've seen have been done by pale white women. Not exactly helpful. So thank you for showing what these "invisible" sunscreens look like on deeper skin of color.
Hello Lovely! Sunscreen, I've already commented before, Purito! But as for the Neutrogena ones for face were an absolute NO for me. My face hated theirs. I could see it just sitting in EACH of my pores... clogging to the Nth degree. 🤢 Cheers again!!!!
Yesss the Purito is dope! I can definitely see how the Neutrogena Sheer Zinc would be a no for the face. For me all the rubbing would irritate my skin. I would only use it for my body.
@@styleandbeautydoctor For my body, I actually use Trader Joes sunscreen. It's alreday formulated with Vitamin C and fine to use on the body or face. Cheers Friend!
I just bought the Cotz sunscreen per your recommendation and I absolutely love it! Thank you for putting in the work lady, it is much appreciated. 🙏🏽I will be using this here on out. 😁👏🏾 #youareawesome
i don’t like mineral sunscreens, they get stuck in my facial hair and they look ashy. i really like the neutrogena hydro boost SPF 50 and it’s nice to reapply because it’s really light. 😅😅
Kenya Moore + Lisaraye+ natural hair= This lady . So pretty.
Omg wow!! Haha thank youuu
Agreed, what a stunning woman
Elena Popovic thanks!!!
Yes!!!! My thoughts exactly!!!!!
She is very pretty indeed!

Unfortunately, they have discontinued this product because of customers complaining about skin sensitivities. I've never had a problem with it. I made a hack though to get the same result: I mix QRX Labs Squalane and E oil with Vanicream Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50, ( pretty much invisible already,) and the effect is equal to the Biossance sunscreen. After mine runs out, this is what Ill be using. ❤
Biossance is great. No white cast but SPF 30. But I wear it every day, so that’s a win.
Yesss! I tried that one in a previous video ❤️❤️
Yes ma’am! You did THAT! Right on time with this.
Thank you!!!
The La Roche Possay non tinted sunscreen is exactly as you said worse. It will blend but my god you have to rub your face raw just to get it. Also for anyone with facial hair it gets trapped which is a whole other effort.
Yikes 😩😩😩😩😳
This was right on time. My favorite sunscreen is the Murad Environmental Shield Essential-C. However, I am always looking for less pricier options. You and your hair are gorgeous. 😍 Great video! On edit: I have never had luck with mineral sunscreen. They all seem to irritate my skin.
Thanks! ❤️❤️
Love the vid😘, I’m olive complexion more on the darker side, love color science sof 50, Elta md spf 46, Jordan Harper has an awesome one too I’ve just purchased, sending much love I love hearing people of color doing vids that are good go to products that work 😘
🙌🏿❤️❤️
hii, in the color science sunscreen do you use medium, glow or bronze. thank you
The Video we know we needed! I only use mineral sunscreens so this is for me....
Yikes I need that cozy sunscreen 😍😍😍
Ayeee 🙌🏿🙌🏿❤️❤️
I really enjoyed this video. I typically use the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Watergel Sunscreen. I'm going to try the Versed from Target and see how I like it. Thanks for sharing.....and your HAIR!!! GIRL, YOU SHOULD WEAR IT OUT MORE OFTEN, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this video!!
Oh and...ISSA WIG 😭😭😭
Versed will be sold in Targets coming July.
It’s already at Target-I put it on the screen 😉
Is it vegan?
Mye White I don’t know about all there products but the mask I have is vegan
i use the non-tinted La Roche-Posay non-tinted Anthelios Ultra-Light Invisible Fluid Sun Cream SPF50+ and it’s waaaaay less than $33 over her in the UK. been using it for two years now & my skin loves it 🥰
Isn’t that chemical
You have amazing energy. Thanks for posting.
Thank you!!!
Such a shame re La Roche Posay! Not sure if you’ve since discovered, but they have an Invisible Anthelios. It’s amazing and completely invisible! Would definitely recommend
Are you talking about this one: www.laroche-posay.us/sunscreen/sunscreen-product-type/face-sunscreen/anthelios-ultra-light-fluid-facial-sunscreen-spf-60-883140012993.html? If so, that is a chemical sunscreen.
If that’s not the one you’re referring to, can you link the one you mean.
@@styleandbeautydoctor of course! It doesn’t seem to be on the US site. Not sure why! Here’s the link anyway. Not sure whether it’s chemical or not, but it’s really great for sensitive skin and totally invisible 💕 www.laroche-posay.co.uk/anthelios-shaka-ultra-light-spf-30
Cotz is my favorite so far! I’m going to purchase Versed.
Let me know how you like it!
You got me with the La Roche Posay + the Cotz + the PTR powder + the Neutrogena Mist in my Ulta cart right now. 😫
So glad I've bumped into you
❤️❤️❤️🙌🏿 thank you!
Hello Dr. Beauty! And Loving you! Very happy for this video and been checking out your many fab posts including fashion fridays. Thanks gawdess. Happy to find you!
Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘
I use the non tinted La Roche Posay and it's great. I am dark skin and blends in with no fuss. I live in London and recently paid just under £14 ($18) on sale. Love your channel. x
Lucky for that price! Glad the non tinted LRP worked for you! I wonder if the formulas avail in Europe are different-someone else said they tried it here and it was an ashy mess for her 😩 And thank youuu 😘😘😘
Thank you for the video! I prefer mineral sunscreens and this video was so helpful!
Yay so glad to hear that!!
I have light brown combination skin. I’ve always struggled to find the right sunscreen for me but recently I’ve tried one Korean brand and OMG it totally changed my experience with sunscreens. Currently waiting for another order to arrive. I’m totally i love with how it feels on my skin, not thick and easy to blend. I’ve tried the chemical one from that brand but also seen great reviews about their mineral one so I’ve ordered that + one from another Kbrand. Thanks for the info hun you’re so pretty 😍
would you mind sharing which one it is?!?! omg I need it
Have you tried Black Girl Sunscreen. I’m loving it. And it’s Black Owned!!!
I love it! If she comes out with a version for the face, issa wrap
Black Girl Sunscreen’s the only one that has worked for me without the white cast!
Black girl sunscreen is a chemical sunscreen
You have a lovely personality...just subscribed.
Thank you!!!
“Why’d you even bother sending it to me?!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭😭
I use la roche possay and I’m dark. I love it no cast and the non tinted one
Me too , I love la roche sunscreen
Supergoop everyday sunscreen spf 30 has been my go to for years, but they recently updated the formula. Hoping my skin still likes it
Ugh hope you still like it! That one’s a chemical sunscreen though (making the distinction in case people are looking for mineral sunscreens in the comments)
The one of la roche pose tinted is the one i use. You don’t rub it, just apply it and wait 1 minute until it dries , and the result is amazing
My favorite topic! Adding the Versed and Cotz to my list. Great content as always ❤️
sweetmarsha thanks, boo!
Please try then Mecca Face Sunscreen from Australia, I am so curious to see what you think!!
Hi guys I just bought the colorscience spf 50 face shield. It is tinted 100% mineral (physical) sunscreen and it comes in 3 colours on their website the 1. original 2. glow and 3. bronze. I bought the bronze and its working really well for me. Barely any cast on my skin and I don`t wear any makeup on top of it. I would definitely recommend this one for darker skin tones!!. I apply mine with a dry beauty blender (2 layers- allow the 1st layer to dry a bit then apply the 2nd one. I apply 2 layers as in order to get the full effect of spf you are meant to be applying sun screen quite liberally. Don`t forget you neck and nears as well!) so that it soaks in without a cast. I would definitely recommend if its within your budget (£24.50 in the UK). For reference I am around NW45 foundation shade in MAC and estee lauder double wear I wear Sandalwood for the foundation shade. I have sensitive dry skin and have experienced no irritation whatsoever with the sun-screen. I have just bought the colorscience powder version as well so I can use this one to re-apply during the day.
I am almost finished using the Versed sunscreen and I am glad to be done with that. The sunscreen just didn’t work for me because it was difficult to blend on my skin. Too much rubbing for my sensitive skin
The lighter Australian Gold would probably work much better for you. The color is much like the LP and Cotz and blends away without leaving any cast or color behind really....
Oh wow thanks!!!
I dislike the white cast , Especially it becomes impossible for me to wear my foundation power if I wanna wear the sunscreen 🤒🤒 this video helped a lot, thanks for the options now it's up to me to pick the one
That white cast is so disrespectful 😩😩😩 Glad this video helped 🙌🏿❤️❤️ let me know which one you wind up trying!
Perfect timing for the mineral sunscreens. I prefer mineral bc of my melasma. I’ve been trying the Australian Gold 50 tinted but it’s a bit casty. The deep is too dark And pink but I’ve mixed a little of it and the original tint and it helps. The Cerave spf 30 tinted is nice but stays dewy on the face. I’m definitely going to try the Versed and Cotz.
I’d like to see what you think about the Dr Gross mineral spray if possible.
Thanks again for the review.
Someone else asked about the DDG spray, too! I’ll look into it. Be mindful of mixing sunscreens with other products as that can degrade the spf-although I don’t have any intel on mixing sunscreens with sunscreens. I’ll have to ask a cosmetic chemist about that.
The Style and Beauty Doctor thanks for the reply. I also forgot to mention getting your opinion on Replenix mineral sunscreen spray and also their cream sunscreen. Take care!
Can you review Colorescience Total Face Shield in Bronze? I'd love to see a real opinion (and swatch) if you have time in one of your next videos! Thanks for all your work and content! :)
In my Amazon cart now-trying to find more to add to round out a video lol
The Style and Beauty Doctor YAAAAAAS! Thank you so much!! 😂❤️🙌🏿
Yes, please!!!
I’ve tried it and love it. It’s mt new favorite
My two girls ❤ Danielle & Alicia😘😘☀I feel like such a proud mother hen 💘 when u support each other's channels. Yes yes yes🎉🎉🎉 like minerals. For all of us who are watching our pockets 😁Walgreens has a great variety of sunscreens
Thank you! Yesss Walgreens in-house brand makes a lot of dupes for name brand sunscreens. I buy them often as well especially when on sale.
I need one that doesn’t leave you shiny, sticky and tacky. I’ve tried Supergoop, Olay, and CoTz Sensitive. All leave the glazed doughnut appearance. The Olay dried down after about two hours but if you have to reapply…. No cast though 🤣.
Between olay and cotz wich one?
@@Olivia-qg8ce I the CoTz. I just got the Supergoop Mineral Mattescreen and it has absolutely no shine or stickiness. I’ll be using that one from now on. I hope I can find a sale during Black Friday so I can stock up. It costs way too much for the small amount you get.
I'll try Cotz :) Grateful I found this video. I was today years old when I discovered that black girls need sunscreen :') I just hope I can apply make up while having sunscreen on me 😭
Just stumbled on your channel, you're super pretty and I love your sense of humor. just brightened my evening
Aww I'm glad I could make your evening! Welcome!! 💕
You are a queen and I am loving your channel!!! Thanks for the great info!
Thanks!!!
Gorgeous hair, gorgeous skin, gorgeous teeth 😩😂 Just flawless 🙌🏽🙌🏽❤
Aww thanks!
Thank you for this 😊 I’ve been looking for reviews & swatches on the Australian gold rich to deep. I’m medium tan. Deeper then tan & lighter then rich 😏the struggle continues.
omg you look like Kenya Moore and Amara La Negra combined!!! I was like, you look familiar. 💚💚💚✨🙏🏽
Thank youuu! 😘
I like Neutrogena Healthy Defense daily Moisturizer with sunscreen SPF 50. I’m dark skin and it works really good!
That’s what I’ve used for years. I am dark too. BUT I recently found out it has the one chemical that’s supposed to be ‘bad’ for you. Ughhhh. I picked up a couple mineral ones and I can’t. One was Venus Williams’s line Eleven and it leaves that ashy look plus makes my skin feel dry. So NO. Why Jesus!? Why!?
This chemical: oxybenzone
@Sally where did you see that oxybenzone is “bad?”
@Kam this video focuses on mineral sunscreens-that one is chemical. I like chemical sunscreens but people are specifically looking for mineral sunscreens here.
@@styleandbeautydoctor you know how the ‘innanet’ can be. Several sites have written about it possibly effecting hormones. You may have already googled by now. Today I tried the Black Girl Sunscreen which states on their bottle that they are free of that particular chemical. It was MUCH better than Venus’s (love you Venus but I can’t do yo sunscreen Ma). I will see how I do with that one, otherwise I admit I am going back to what I’ve used for yearssss - Neutrogena. 🤷🏾♀️
She is GORGEOUS!!!
😘😘😘
Thanks for sharing! I’ve been using nip and fab post glycolic fix spf 30, which doesn’t leave a white cast.
Nice!!!
I still use my Nivea..I think it's the Korean one 🤷🏾♀️I'm open to trying something new but this stuff feels like it's gonna last forever lolllll
Hey lady!
Heyyy boo! Haha-check the expiration date though-sunscreens can expire. The physical ones last longer though.
Is the Nivea physical and if so which one is it?
@@teeeee9174 honestly im not sure. It's a water gel and it's Japanese. Spf of 50. I got it on Amazon. It's the one with the pump. Hope that's somewhat helpful. Apologies if it isn't.
@@styleandbeautydoctor ah! True true. When I get home I'll have to check. I don't eeem(I gotta stop using that non-word but I like it lolll) what kind of spf it is but it's light weight, no white caste, absorbs fast and it gets the job done without messing with my makeup.
Perfect timing! Last weekend, I watched your other sunscreen videos and wondered if you had updated recommendations. Thank you!
Ayeee ❤️❤️❤️🙌🏿
Cotz can be purchased with FSA and HSA Cards on Amazon
Thanks for that tip!
Cotz made me break out so bad. It has bismuth oxychloride. If you're acne prone, be careful
Yikes-thanks for the tip!
Thanks! I didn't see bismuth oxychloride listed in the ingredients list on the ulta website. Did they change the ingredients?
@@1founddaughter740 Maybe they did. I bought the flawless complexion tinted mineral spf 50 last year and BO was the 1st inactive ingredient
Thank you for this video! I just recently realized that I developed an allergy to my combination sunscreen, I really needed a replacement!
You’re welcome! What are you thinking of replacing it with?
@@styleandbeautydoctor The Neutrogena and the la roche posay ones are looking pretty good!
Yay! Let me know how it works for you ❤️❤️
Loved this video! Isdin Eryfotona Actinica SPF 50 has been my fave and no white cast either :) 100% mineral
You also look like amara la negra mixed with Kenya Moore BEAUTIFUL
Thanks, Janjay! ❤️❤️😘
It's the hair for me😍😍
😘😘😘
The LaRiche Pose SPF 60 ultra light chemical sunscreen leaves no white cast on me/ it is easy to rub in and has a beautiful texture. I love it. Are use the $10 off CVS coupon I get from their membership each month. This is a liquidy sunscreen and I love the shaker bottle. I simply put it on the length of my finger to apply. I just love it
THANK. YOU. I'm a Larinx woman who's been in search for a non-casting SPF50 mineral sunscreen for years. All the reviews I've seen have been done by pale white women. Not exactly helpful. So thank you for showing what these "invisible" sunscreens look like on deeper skin of color.
You’re welcome ❤️❤️❤️
I can’t find the Cotz tinted in your playlist hun. Loving these videos omg
You are just too fabulous! I love your videos, thank you!
Thank you!!!!
Thanks a lot for your videos with loaded information. Kindly suggest some no white cast mineral sunscreen safe for 2 year old onwards
Your skin is wonderful my goodness
Thank youuuu! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for this lady! I will be purchasing a few different kinds for different situations.
Hello Lovely! Sunscreen, I've already commented before, Purito! But as for the Neutrogena ones for face were an absolute NO for me. My face hated theirs. I could see it just sitting in EACH of my pores... clogging to the Nth degree. 🤢 Cheers again!!!!
Yesss the Purito is dope! I can definitely see how the Neutrogena Sheer Zinc would be a no for the face. For me all the rubbing would irritate my skin. I would only use it for my body.
@@styleandbeautydoctor For my body, I actually use Trader Joes sunscreen. It's alreday formulated with Vitamin C and fine to use on the body or face. Cheers Friend!
I just bought the Cotz sunscreen per your recommendation and I absolutely love it! Thank you for putting in the work lady, it is much appreciated. 🙏🏽I will be using this here on out. 😁👏🏾 #youareawesome
Ahhhh yeah! Glad I could help ❤️❤️
i don’t like mineral sunscreens, they get stuck in my facial hair and they look ashy. i really like the neutrogena hydro boost SPF 50 and it’s nice to reapply because it’s really light. 😅😅
