What’s wrong with hoop or GP? Especially to the point you’d avoid a good suncream for?? I thought she just cared about helping the environment and healthcare...
Nadine PLEASE can you do a video on facial sweating - it's literally destroying my confidence and I can't be the only person struggling with it. Doesn't matter which makeup I put on my face, it melts off and looks a hot mess - even if its supposedly sweatproof - or I get those polka dot pores if I decide to do mineral makeup. I feel like I cant win - help!
Klairs uv essence, biore aqua rich watery essence, hada labo white uv gel, purito, shiseido enessa uv milk are my top picks from Japan/Korea and they all happen to be spf 50!
@@Xenia-wd6il I personally don't wear makeup/foundation but as a makeup primer I think either biore or klairs would be ideal because they don't have a white cast and dries matte fast
Agree 100%! Purito is amazing! It was recommended by Gothamista and since trying have absolutely loved it. I’ve only been able to get from Yesstyle or Amazon.
I love Altruist spf30. It's easy to apply, sits beautifully under makeup and under €20 for a very large tube. But the bonus for me is that they donate some of their proceeds to projects for skin cancer prevention. I think I read they also donate to the albino children-project in Africa which is awesome!
I love the Paula’s Choice Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50. It is a similar consistency to the Skinceuticals, very runny and light weight. I have a very oily skin and live in a very hot/humid climate, so it works perfectly for me as both an antioxidant moisturiser and SPF step all in one!
Missha Aqua Gel with spf 50 is a great lotiony-gel spf. It's a chemical sunscreen, it doesn't sting even after a chemical peel, doesn't sting my eyes and it's great for combination/oily skin. It has a matte finish and for less than 10 dolars it's quite a bargain. Garnier spf 50 spray is quite idiot proof for reapplying, especially over makeup. Love your recommandations, definitely will give them a try!
ISDIN fotoprotector fusion water SPF 50 (you can have also the teinted version) and ISDIN Foto Ultra Age Repair Fusion Water SPF 50. They are simply great. You can buy them on Amazon. Here in Italy you can find them in pharmacies. Believe me, beautiful products.
Please try corean ones(purito,missha,neogen,cosrx ,krave,klairs,biore and so many more) you have no ideea how great they are you need to try it you will thank us ❤️once you find one of these you will never go back to European spf trust me!!
I also bought 3 spf's on Yesstyle recently. 2 by Missha and 1 from Hado Labo. I'm now using one of the Missha SPF's (the aqua gel one (white box with blue accents)) and I got at least 3 consecutive days with this one without a break out or a fungal acne break out. I specifically searched for SPF's that are safe for fungal acne because next to normal acne I also have the joys of fungal acne and very sensitive reactive skin for SPF. I've used regular European brand SPF's in the past and they all made me break out very quickly even LRP, Avene and the ones with physical filters. I would love it if Nadine could make a video about fungal acne and which products are safe to use from skincare to bodycare to treatments to make up. Luckily I found a lot of information on simpleskincarescience.com and I use folliculisscout.com to scan ingredients lists of products I might consider buying. There's also an active reddit thread for fungal acne IIRC. I also don't like the fact that a lot of companies use nano ingredients in their products. We don't even know what kind of damage these particles can do to our bodies and our health. Maybe a nice vid idea?
My favorite sunscreens for my sensitive, oily skin are Dermatologica 50 SPF booster and Neogen 50, which I think is Korean. Both are brown girl friendly.
Purito makes my fave sunscreens (a Korean brand) for my hypersensitive rosacea/eczema prone skin. Normally I can only use a mineral spf like the comfy water mineral spf50 pa++++ from Purito, but their unscented centella spf50 pa++++ uses all the new next gen filters and DOSEN'T STING my skin or eyes - yippee. Mineral sunscreens are often very drying and play havoc with my eczema so being able to use a chemical screen without the stinging/burning is so good. I love it and highly recommend it. I do like the comfy water mineral screen, but it is a little more tricky as you have to be careful which moisturiser you use underneath re pilling/balling up. The unscented centella chemical screen has never pilled and I can use it around my eyes without issue. I used to use ultrasun and still love that on my body, but the recent advent of rosacea (type one and mild) has meant anything really alcohol heavy stings very badly and I can no longer use it on my face/neck/chest. The Korean sunscreens are also more affordable which is a bonus. Best wishes.
Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence is a phenomenal physical sunscreen. It's SPF50, has a light gel-like texture, doesn't leave a white cast, and contains skin beneficial ingredients, including niacinamide. It's about $20-25 US and I buy it online (have never seen it in a store). I have normal skin and use it for both SPF and moisturizer. I apply it right up to my eyeballs and have never had any sensitivity (and I have sensitive light blue eyes). Plays nicely under makeup too. It's the only sunscreen I have ever applied faithfully every day because it's a pleasure to use.
Nadine, you should try purito centella green sunscreen. It’s on amazon and easily the best SPF I have tried. It’s easy to reapply and feels like a nice moisturizer. Great ingredients. The BEST at any price, but this is under twenty $.
I love the neutrogena spf 70 stick for the beach for both my children and myself. 4 days at the ocean and no one burned. I call that a victory!!! Also it’s for sensitive skin. Worked with only one application (lasted approx 6 hours)
Nadine, I know you're not a fan of once a day, but Ultrasun face fluids are really lightweight. I'm using their tinted face fluid spf50+ and love it. I'm quite fair, but it's one that would suit lots of skintones. They also do untinted, anti-pollution and spf30 option. They also have a mineral SPF.
I thought I had superdry skin for years - I always used mineral sunscreens, because the chemical ones stung my eyes. Then I tried a new sunscreen - a chemical one that promised not to sting the eyes - and realised that my skin do not feel dry anymore. I now use the La Roche-posay Anthelios Ultra Protection hydrating cream Spf 50 (why are the names always so long🤔)
This is also the one I use,only in SPF 30. It's beautifully hydrating,light and never stings my sensitive eyes!!! In the summer months this becomes my everyday moisturiser, I wouldn't be without it!!! It comes in a small,contact tube,ideal for popping into a small handbag. X
Ellie Ge - The problem is, that La Roche-posay have several Anthelios sunscreens to different skintypes, so I always have to ensure that I get the correct one.
My favourite is Ultrasun SPF50 Face Fluid. I also like The Body Shop Skin Defence Multi-Protection Essence SPF50 (the old version, haven't tried the new version yet). I found REN Clean Screen to be too mattifying for me.
I usually get La Roche Posay or Altruist (cheap) for facial sunscreen. There's also a good Garnier one for oily skin which is about £6, which is great because I can get the odd spot due to sunscreen. I do also use Ultrasun or Boots Once (also cheap lol). I'm with you on being suspicious about once a day creams but I only use them on days when I know I'm going to be outdoors a lot eg festivals (remember them lol) or at the park with my son. They do seem to work well. I wear them over my mineral foundation & have never burnt. Emma x
I use Missha aqua gel for the days I prefer chemical spf and Purito Water sun block for when I want a physical sunscreen. Once I got my hands on those Korean sunscreens I know I would never go back again. They are brilliant!
Purito, all versions, make: prem, and dear, Klairs are moisturizing lotions that are just lovely. The klairs (White bottle, haven’t tried the new blue bottle mineral one) one is my fave in the winter. For a gel, CosRx aloe is so good for a lightweight summer SPF in the super hot and humid south Texas summer. Those are my fave Korean ones. For Japanese, most Shisedo ones are great. Specifically the Anessa range. I believe you can get all of these on YesStyle and they do free shipping. I think they offer free “expedited” at over £100. You just need to be mindful of how long it says it will take to get something in stock-they’ll give estimates up to 21 days-because they don’t ship partial packages, they ship one everything’s in stock.
For me the best sunscreens Ive used in terms of PA rating and compatible with make-up no white cast etc are Korean or Japanese sunscreens. Im using Purito centella clean sunscreen. I love it
I use and like the Purito Comfy Water one (found via Gothamista). It is very likely scented with orange essential oil but doesn’t irritate my face. I love that it is silicone free so doesn’t peel. They also have the unscented centella one but that might have Silicone. believe you can get on Amazon, but also Asian sites like Yesstyle.
Favourite Japanese sunscreen is ANESSA whitening UV sunscreen gel SPF 50+ PA++++. l like wearing this because its lightweight and it absorbs easily into my skin. It works well under makeup and it doesn’t upset my sensitive skin.
My favorite SPF's are both Korean. They are Purito Centella Green Level Unscented Sun (SPF50+PA++++) and Dear Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence (SPF50+PA++++). I get them from Amazon (in US) but they are also sold on Yesstyle. They are life changing. If you can get them, they will change your feelings about sunscreens as they immediately melt into your skin like quality moisturizers.
Supergoop Unseen is very good under makeup, like a primer. It is perfect as a final step in the morning skincare routine. Does not pill, works over serums
Hi Nadine I’m from Asia. And use the anessa sunscreen, it’s a sub brand of shiseido’s. The Japanese “biore” brand also has good and affordable sunscreens. From Korea I like the thank you farmer one, and it’savailable on cultbeauty.
Paulas choice do some beautiful face spfs, especially for me with acne prone skin. Their resist tinted spf 30 is lovely and the tint doesn't actually colour the skin (I'm super pale) but stops white cast. X
Purito sunscreens are the absolute best! Currently using the comfy water which is the physical sunscreen, spf 50, unbelievably lightweight, no white cast on my medium skin tone, very affordable, fragrance free. Give them a try! Xx
Wow, you weren’t kidding about the Heliocare, were you?! I normally use Biore Watery Essence - you need to try it! Get it from YesStyle rather than Amazon - but this is LOVELY!
As someone who suffers from sun rash every summer, especially when abroad in warmer climates, the only sun protection that actually worked for me is Institute Estederms Sun intolerance body spray. It's a mineral lotion that feels nothing like an spf but more lika a lovely body lotion.I use only where I usually get the itching blisters; chest, neck, arms and its been fool proof every time. It is expensive, but last a long time if you use i wisely. Over the rest of my body I usually use LRP or vichy, preferably the mists or sprays. Hate sticky spf's, I hate having to rubb things in.
Perhaps not popular picks, but the sunscreens I regularly use are the ELF Beauty Shield SPF 50 moisturizer or primer. They're allegedly antioxidant rich to fight pollution? They're slightly tinted and probably not great for deep skin tones. But they're reasonably priced and I like them.
Thank you so much for this, really helpful information, I have started using the SVR and love it, it leaves my skin with a lovely soft blurred finish which doesn’t pill or go shiny. I played 21/2 hours of golf in rain, wind and sun today and it felt just as good afterwards
Hi Nadine I thought you would be interested in this information. I’ve been using Skin Ceu. Phloretin FC the fluid is clear in the dropper. I noticed my face turned brownish did some research and found out that Vitamin C degrades into erythralose which is the exact ingredient in self tanners.
I have eczema and have used piz buin for about 20 years, I love it and dont find it heavy or sticky, great for sensitive skin. I never burn when I wear it.
Thx for this. We love you also in Croatia🤗. I have Heliocare but it is very tightening for dry skin. I feel Origins one does better for dry at least for me😘
thanks Nadine, really good video! but agree with the others below - asian sunscreens are superior and better value- order from Yesstyle. I love Purito unscented (superstar), Shiseido Anessa Mild Milk (super!), Make Pre:m (super light and fantastic value, but scented). But you should also check out NIOD Survival 30, Paula's Choice tinted 30 or 50 (more irritating) and Australian Gold Botanical Mineral 50 (tinted, excellent for oily skin, my favourite foundation replacer) and Clinique mineral scent free 30. Love your videos always though!
Please try the ISDIN age Repair or Fusion water!! I always hated SPF because of my oily skin. But since i discovered ISDIN i use SPF daily!! Finally! 👍
Discovered SVR Blur on holiday in France. Love the range. Glad you included it. I also like the SVR Clarial SPF 50. Cyril’s Laurent has review a lot of their products.
Nadine you should try the new p20 kids spf 50+ if you haven’t already. It’s such a gorgeous formula, no white cast, sinks in beautifully, UVAPF over 50 and comes in a 100/200ml bottle. Totally recommend! My other favourite is the daylong extreme spf 50+ that I buy from a French online chemist which lowers the cost significantly for us uk folk. Really great products. Will totally be looking at some of these though ❣️
Love you here in the US! I need tinted and high spf for my melasma, so I order Altruist spf 50 with visible light protection from Amazon UK. UK has much better UVA protection than US sunscreens. I like MD solar sciences mineral creme spf 50 and Replenix Ultimatte spf 50 for US face sunscreens. My daughters (darker skinned than my Fitzpatrick 3) love Elta MD Clear (US), Canmake Mermaid (Japan), and Purito (Korea).
Nadine you need need need need to try Allie sunscreen from Japan !!! They are amazing their gel sunscreen is just the best!!!! Shiseido do a great SPF as well but I am not sure if its the same as the one you're getting in the UK
Ok so I am excited......I think I might have just figured out why my eyes just get randomly irritated sometimes. I have days where they will just water and water and I have no clue why. Maybe it is my sunscreen? I will have to pay more attention now to which one I am wearing when that happens. Thank you to everyone for the revelation!!!!!!!!!
Ultrasun mineral spf 50 is what I'm using at the moment. Qvc had an offer for x2 and it's nice, but it does give you a white cast initially before drying down
Purito: Centella Green Level Unscented Sun SPF50+ PA ++++ more of a chemical like formulation, water-based, good for dry skin. Purito: Comfy Water Sun Block SPF50+ PA++++ a physical type formulation, also water-based, good for oily skin. Both can be purchased here in the UK from pureseoul.co.uk or yesstyle but delivery is a bit poop on yesstyle at the moment so I try to use pureseoul for convenience lol
I love the Heliocare range. The one that you show is amazing and also the version without color is my favourite for under makeup. But I have to say I discover the best one the water gel is amazing if you sweat a lot in the Sumer or if you going to the pool. 😍
@ Luisa Hurtado Does makeup apply well over the heliocare oil free gel? Or does it make foundation go patchy or cakey? Also I've read where people say it's hard to apply as it dries fast and also that it balls up on the skin and rubs off?
Favorite Japanese SPF is Anessa perfect skincare milk SPF 50 ++++. So light, it is the lightest texture I have ever found. Expensive in Canada, but it is the only sunscreen I will use on my face. I but it at an Asian market, but i think they have it on YesStyle also.
I'm using the Ren one, I love it because it's matifying and great to use under makeup. All other spfs I used in the past made me a giant greasy ball despite the "matifying" claims. But I wonder how I would get on with gel formulations so maybe I will give that a go.
Thanks for introducing me to SVR, sounds awesome! Have you tried any Korean sunscreens? Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence and Purito Centella Sunscreen are both SPF 50, relatively affordable, made by the same lab and have a good reputation for being lightweight
You never mention colorescience, is a very good face and body SPF reasonably priced, just saying. I always have several SPF on the go because I like to try different formulations and finishes and their face shield is a staple for me. X
Susana Stevens I agree about Face Shield. Very light weight and evens out my skin tone. I still am using their original tone but they came out with a few more shades. I also love their undereye one, Total Eye.
I am in the states and I am using UNSUN and Blue Lizard Face sensitive skin with hyrolonic acid. I am a biracial Fitzpatrick 3.75 to 4. I am also loving Dr. Sam's, but makes me slightly oily. I love Sheisedo Nessa. Shipping takes forever.
I use the helio one as was recommeded and i like it alot as use as a tinted moisturiser in summer. In winter i use the la roche one again i was recommeded and didnt know at the time what to get but i like them both
i love the australian gold tinted mineral spf 50---- they now have 3 shades (haven't tried those, yet.) their old one, the original, was the perfect shade for me--- bluring, perfecting, efficient AND great under makeup...... as all physical, can be a bit drying (more a feeling than the actual condition of the skin, however) so hydrating underneath is important. At the moment I'm using CeraVe tinted mineral spf 30-- a bit dark for me, great on its own (no need for moisturizer) howver less great under makeup. :-)
From the ones you've mentioned, I've tried the DE Umbra sheer daily defence and REN Clean screen mineral spf, but I didn't like them. The first one it was too glowy, almost greasy on my face and the second didn't have any slip like you said and it felt like I was pulling my face off. I've just ordered the Garnier sunscreen that you've mentioned on Instagram and I really enjoyed the Missha All around safe block ( which comes in many textures ) and Purito Centella green level. I buy all my korean/japanese products from YesStyle and didn't have any problems so far and they ship internationally.
Clinique do a nice mineral spf 50 for face. You have to wait a while but after 10 mins the white cast goes and the shine turns into a nice glow. I am pale though, with freckles.
I have Systemic lupus....ugh Starting last summer my tolerance to sun is 0 it makes me very sick, so I wear sunscreen everyday but in summer sunscreen and spf clothing and hide from the sun...😕😕😕 So I'm always looking for a lightweight sunscreen for my face and neck! Thank you
I really love an SPF 50 by Shiseido unfortunately the name’s in Japanese & it’s not available in uk stores, it’s very light weight, sits well under makeup and feels like skin care, I buy it online and recognise it by its distinctive royal blue packaging, my favourite mineral SS is Sunprise by Etude House, a Korean brand unfortunately it does leave a very light white caste but sits well under tinted moisturiser or foundation I buy them both from EBay because I’ve purchased from that famous Korean website Yes Style and found their customer service hopeless. La Roche Posay Anthelios XL will always be in my arsenal you cannot beat it for the price.
Hi Nadine :) love the cosrx shield fit all green comfort which is a Korean mineral based spf. I have rosacea and acne and this protects my skin , doesn't cause breakouts and is lovely under make-up. I purchase my Korean beauty products on the beauty and Seoul website. Affordable prices. My mother also loves the SPF from Dr Sam bunting. Take care and stay safe
Hello Nadine from the States, really enjoy your videos and find them very helpful. Have you ever heard of zinc oxide being very astringent and drying? At 66 I feel like I've tried every spf on the market for my sensitive skin, and recently went with Elta MD pure physical zinc - very highly rated and loved. By 4:00 in the afternoon my skin was dry, tight and uncomfortable, after 3 days I looked like I'd had a procedure! Went on line and read the above- zinc oxide is very astringent, drying, and best for younger skins. Any thoughts? Thanks again for you always wonderful content!
Nadine you MUST try the Purito Unscented Centella sunscreen (chemical) or if you prefer mineral, the Purito Comfy Water sun screen (more mat) both available on Yes Style ... they have changed my life, no whitecast, feathery light ... I will never buy a European sunscreen again !
i'm so glad you said that supergoop was nothing to do with gwyneth paltrow, i was avoiding it for this reason.
Ha! You're not alone; I thought that for a long time. Supergoop is a great line!
@@teriwhite4151I fund it goes on fine under makeup = best ever in fact.
Goop is from Gwyneth. Supergoop no
What’s wrong with hoop or GP? Especially to the point you’d avoid a good suncream for?? I thought she just cared about helping the environment and healthcare...
Think this contains silicone tho which I don’t like...
You can get Korean SPFs from YesStyle and they shipped to the UK directly from Korea :)
YesStyle is shipped from Hong Kong actually.
Nadine PLEASE can you do a video on facial sweating - it's literally destroying my confidence and I can't be the only person struggling with it.

One word: PURITO
Hands down best sunscreens I’ve ever tried. Love the comfy water for physical and the green level for the best kinds of chemical
Rosetta Drone +1
Agree 100%! Purito is amazing! It was recommended by Gothamista and since trying have absolutely loved it. I’ve only been able to get from Yesstyle or Amazon.
they are incredible and super cheap
Jamila Jones that’s where I got the recommendation as well 😃
Australian Gold tinted mineral spf50 sunscreen and it is slightly matifying. My all time favorite.

Purito unscented is the best sunscreen I've found. I usually use LRP, clinique, dr Sam.
Yes!! I just got in 3 more bottles of the chemical version. Hard to use anything else.
I love you!!! I am a 54-year-old Black Girl in the US... YOU ARE THE REAL DEAL

100% agreed, I have already stocked up for summer!
My favourite is the Missha Soft Finnish. Protects really well, and make my skin look better. (would not suit darker skin)
Beatrisse, my favorite is Klair’s soft and airy up essence. It’s terrific.

Super love Purito mineral and chemical sunscreens!! I purchase both from Yesstyle, Nadine 💕
Fabulous vid Nadine. Absolutely so educational and I want them all! 😌Thank you!!! ❤️
I love the Etude House Sunprise SPF50+++, very nice finish, lovely under make up.

Nancy Stark. Exactly - in the summer I don’t have to use a moisturizer either. And I thought I had dry skin..... but no, just the wrong sunscreen 🙂
Ellie Ge - The problem is, that La Roche-posay have several Anthelios sunscreens to different skintypes, so I always have to ensure that I get the correct one.
Missha SPF45, as it is the only one from Missha that does not contain aluminum. Not too thick, really nice!! Awesome price!

I believe you can get all of these on YesStyle and they do free shipping. I think they offer free “expedited” at over £100. You just need to be mindful of how long it says it will take to get something in stock-they’ll give estimates up to 21 days-because they don’t ship partial packages, they ship one everything’s in stock.
For me the best sunscreens Ive used in terms of PA rating and compatible with make-up no white cast etc are Korean or Japanese sunscreens. Im using Purito centella clean sunscreen. I love it
I use and like the Purito Comfy Water one (found via Gothamista). It is very likely scented with orange essential oil but doesn’t irritate my face. I love that it is silicone free so doesn’t peel. They also have the unscented centella one but that might have Silicone. believe you can get on Amazon, but also Asian sites like Yesstyle.
I’ve just bought Heliocare Gel . Worth every penny because of the skin healing and protecting benefits . Their SPF is different from all others.
I’m just looking to buy some good higher level spf so this is really useful. I’m looking forward to watching about the spray ones xx
I've looking for Skinnies from Austrália It is a New one.
Favourite Japanese sunscreen is ANESSA whitening UV sunscreen gel SPF 50+ PA++++. l like wearing this because its lightweight and it absorbs easily into my skin. It works well under makeup and it doesn’t upset my sensitive skin.
My favorite SPF's are both Korean. They are Purito Centella Green Level Unscented Sun (SPF50+PA++++) and Dear Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence (SPF50+PA++++). I get them from Amazon (in US) but they are also sold on Yesstyle. They are life changing. If you can get them, they will change your feelings about sunscreens as they immediately melt into your skin like quality moisturizers.
Supergoop Unseen is very good under makeup, like a primer. It is perfect as a final step in the morning skincare routine. Does not pill, works over serums
Hi Nadine I’m from Asia. And use the anessa sunscreen, it’s a sub brand of shiseido’s. The Japanese “biore” brand also has good and affordable sunscreens. From Korea I like the thank you farmer one, and it’savailable on cultbeauty.
Paulas choice do some beautiful face spfs, especially for me with acne prone skin. Their resist tinted spf 30 is lovely and the tint doesn't actually colour the skin (I'm super pale) but stops white cast. X
Purito sunscreens are the absolute best! Currently using the comfy water which is the physical sunscreen, spf 50, unbelievably lightweight, no white cast on my medium skin tone, very affordable, fragrance free. Give them a try! Xx
Wow, you weren’t kidding about the Heliocare, were you?! I normally use Biore Watery Essence - you need to try it! Get it from YesStyle rather than Amazon - but this is LOVELY!
Looking forward to Sunday. Thanks Nadine. Love you.xx
I am loving Murad city skin spf 50 for my face. It is beautiful and I generally dislike sunblock goop on my face.
Vanessa Scott this one is my favourite too and it's not sold anymore. I can't find it anywhere!
As someone who suffers from sun rash every summer, especially when abroad in warmer climates, the only sun protection that actually worked for me is Institute Estederms Sun intolerance body spray. It's a mineral lotion that feels nothing like an spf but more lika a lovely body lotion.I use only where I usually get the itching blisters; chest, neck, arms and its been fool proof every time. It is expensive, but last a long time if you use i wisely. Over the rest of my body I usually use LRP or vichy, preferably the mists or sprays. Hate sticky spf's, I hate having to rubb things in.
Perhaps not popular picks, but the sunscreens I regularly use are the ELF Beauty Shield SPF 50 moisturizer or primer. They're allegedly antioxidant rich to fight pollution? They're slightly tinted and probably not great for deep skin tones. But they're reasonably priced and I like them.
Coola tinted 're your rec from last year, I love it when I can get hold of it! But for a budget....Surprise light and airy is fabulous under makeup.
Thank you so much for this, really helpful information, I have started using the SVR and love it, it leaves my skin with a lovely soft blurred finish which doesn’t pill or go shiny. I played 21/2 hours of golf in rain, wind and sun today and it felt just as good afterwards
Hi Nadine I thought you would be interested in this information. I’ve been using Skin Ceu. Phloretin FC the fluid is clear in the dropper. I noticed my face turned brownish did some research and found out that Vitamin C degrades into erythralose which is the exact ingredient in self tanners.
I have eczema and have used piz buin for about 20 years, I love it and dont find it heavy or sticky, great for sensitive skin. I never burn when I wear it.
Thx for this. We love you also in Croatia🤗. I have Heliocare but it is very tightening for dry skin. I feel Origins one does better for dry at least for me😘
Missha and Iope are 2 Korean brands I've used which are brilliant. Broad spectrum and light in application.
Dermalogica prism spf 30 is great! So moisturising
Hello Nadine, thankyou for these video :) I like LRP of course and Shisheido spfs!!
thanks Nadine, really good video! but agree with the others below - asian sunscreens are superior and better value- order from Yesstyle. I love Purito unscented (superstar), Shiseido Anessa Mild Milk (super!), Make Pre:m (super light and fantastic value, but scented). But you should also check out NIOD Survival 30, Paula's Choice tinted 30 or 50 (more irritating) and Australian Gold Botanical Mineral 50 (tinted, excellent for oily skin, my favourite foundation replacer) and Clinique mineral scent free 30. Love your videos always though!
Nuxe face and body spf 30 is amazing!
Please try the ISDIN age Repair or Fusion water!! I always hated SPF because of my oily skin. But since i discovered ISDIN i use SPF daily!! Finally! 👍
Yes! I want to know more about this product. I heard it it formulated to avoid eye sting which I suffer from a lot
Discovered SVR Blur on holiday in France. Love the range. Glad you included it. I also like the SVR Clarial SPF 50. Cyril’s Laurent has review a lot of their products.
I love the Clarins UV Plus SPF50, lovely milky consistency but doesn’t leave a ghostly white colour after application.
Nadine you should try the new p20 kids spf 50+ if you haven’t already. It’s such a gorgeous formula, no white cast, sinks in beautifully, UVAPF over 50 and comes in a 100/200ml bottle. Totally recommend! My other favourite is the daylong extreme spf 50+ that I buy from a French online chemist which lowers the cost significantly for us uk folk. Really great products. Will totally be looking at some of these though ❣️
Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV!! Amazing formula feels like water on the skin x
My favorite sunscreen is DRMTLGY Tinted Sunscreen SPF 46. HG and I don't use any other kind. Also highly recommended by Dr. Dray.
I like EltaMD. It provides slight coverage and evens out your skin.
Love you here in the US! I need tinted and high spf for my melasma, so I order Altruist spf 50 with visible light protection from Amazon UK. UK has much better UVA protection than US sunscreens. I like MD solar sciences mineral creme spf 50 and Replenix Ultimatte spf 50 for US face sunscreens. My daughters (darker skinned than my Fitzpatrick 3) love Elta MD Clear (US), Canmake Mermaid (Japan), and Purito (Korea).
Nadine you need need need need to try Allie sunscreen from Japan !!! They are amazing their gel sunscreen is just the best!!!! Shiseido do a great SPF as well but I am not sure if its the same as the one you're getting in the UK
Hi Nadine try Moonshot. Korean easy to find light weight slight dewy but not like you've been frying all day. I'm really liking it.
Ok so I am excited......I think I might have just figured out why my eyes just get randomly irritated sometimes. I have days where they will just water and water and I have no clue why. Maybe it is my sunscreen? I will have to pay more attention now to which one I am wearing when that happens. Thank you to everyone for the revelation!!!!!!!!!
Ultrasun mineral spf 50 is what I'm using at the moment. Qvc had an offer for x2 and it's nice, but it does give you a white cast initially before drying down
Purito: Centella Green Level Unscented Sun SPF50+ PA ++++
more of a chemical like formulation, water-based, good for dry skin.
Purito: Comfy Water Sun Block SPF50+ PA++++
a physical type formulation, also water-based, good for oily skin.
Both can be purchased here in the UK from pureseoul.co.uk or yesstyle but delivery is a bit poop on yesstyle at the moment so I try to use pureseoul for convenience lol
I love the Heliocare range. The one that you show is amazing and also the version without color is my favourite for under makeup. But I have to say I discover the best one the water gel is amazing if you sweat a lot in the Sumer or if you going to the pool. 😍
@ Luisa Hurtado Does makeup apply well over the heliocare oil free gel? Or does it make foundation go patchy or cakey? Also I've read where people say it's hard to apply as it dries fast and also that it balls up on the skin and rubs off?
Favorite Japanese SPF is Anessa perfect skincare milk SPF 50 ++++. So light, it is the lightest texture I have ever found. Expensive in Canada, but it is the only sunscreen I will use on my face. I but it at an Asian market, but i think they have it on YesStyle also.
try anessa mild milk - much better
I'm using the Ren one, I love it because it's matifying and great to use under makeup. All other spfs I used in the past made me a giant greasy ball despite the "matifying" claims. But I wonder how I would get on with gel formulations so maybe I will give that a go.
Thanks for introducing me to SVR, sounds awesome! Have you tried any Korean sunscreens? Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence and Purito Centella Sunscreen are both SPF 50, relatively affordable, made by the same lab and have a good reputation for being lightweight
I use Tropic mineral purely because I am allergic to the chemical UVA & UVB. The first suncream that has allowed me to get out in the sun 😀
You never mention colorescience, is a very good face and body SPF reasonably priced, just saying. I always have several SPF on the go because I like to try different formulations and finishes and their face shield is a staple for me. X
Susana Stevens I agree about Face Shield. Very light weight and evens out my skin tone. I still am using their original tone but they came out with a few more shades. I also love their undereye one, Total Eye.
I am in the states and I am using UNSUN and Blue Lizard Face sensitive skin with hyrolonic acid. I am a biracial Fitzpatrick 3.75 to 4. I am also loving Dr. Sam's, but makes me slightly oily. I love Sheisedo Nessa. Shipping takes forever.
I use the helio one as was recommeded and i like it alot as use as a tinted moisturiser in summer. In winter i use the la roche one again i was recommeded and didnt know at the time what to get but i like them both
i love the australian gold tinted mineral spf 50---- they now have 3 shades (haven't tried those, yet.) their old one, the original, was the perfect shade for me--- bluring, perfecting, efficient AND great under makeup...... as all physical, can be a bit drying (more a feeling than the actual condition of the skin, however) so hydrating underneath is important. At the moment I'm using CeraVe tinted mineral spf 30-- a bit dark for me, great on its own (no need for moisturizer) howver less great under makeup. :-)
From the ones you've mentioned, I've tried the DE Umbra sheer daily defence and REN Clean screen mineral spf, but I didn't like them. The first one it was too glowy, almost greasy on my face and the second didn't have any slip like you said and it felt like I was pulling my face off. I've just ordered the Garnier sunscreen that you've mentioned on Instagram and I really enjoyed the Missha All around safe block ( which comes in many textures ) and Purito Centella green level. I buy all my korean/japanese products from YesStyle and didn't have any problems so far and they ship internationally.
Biore UV Watery Essence spf 50+ ++++ and Missha Soft Finish Sun Milk spf 50+ ++++
Clinique do a nice mineral spf 50 for face. You have to wait a while but after 10 mins the white cast goes and the shine turns into a nice glow. I am pale though, with freckles.
I’m enjoying the Korean Thank You Farmer spf, available at Cult Beauty & Yes Style!
So useful thanks 😊 xx
Brilliant vid just recently repurchased what used to be my fave spf 50 from the body shop but it's not as good since it's been reformulated xx
I have been using Evy Technology and really enjoy it here in Singapore 😊
Clinique City Block is a great physical sunscreen and is £18 - available online but maybe not Clinique counters
Loving the Goop shade. Haha x
😂 Same! Doctor Mike threw shade on his reaction video yesterday (see the Attaway General reaction vid). It caught me off guard and was hilarious!!
I have Systemic lupus....ugh
Starting last summer my tolerance to sun is 0 it makes me very sick, so I wear sunscreen everyday but in summer sunscreen and spf clothing and hide from the sun...😕😕😕
So I'm always looking for a lightweight sunscreen for my face and neck!
Thank you
I’ve tried the Ren one & I feel like I sweat more with it on. I like the Murad silicone one
I agree Anna. Made me really sweaty and shiny.
Are we going to talk about the fragrance in the REN one? Heavy and makes my eyes water. Ultra sun face fluid 50+ is my goto
I had an immediate allergic reaction to REN and had to discard. I like Helio and am on my 2nd tube.
I really love an SPF 50 by Shiseido unfortunately the name’s in Japanese & it’s not available in uk stores, it’s very light weight, sits well under makeup and feels like skin care, I buy it online and recognise it by its distinctive royal blue packaging, my favourite mineral SS is Sunprise by Etude House, a Korean brand unfortunately it does leave a very light white caste but sits well under tinted moisturiser or foundation I buy them both from EBay because I’ve purchased from that famous Korean website Yes Style and found their customer service hopeless. La Roche Posay Anthelios XL will always be in my arsenal you cannot beat it for the price.
Australian gold best for me and I've tried loads x
Hi Nadine :) love the cosrx shield fit all green comfort which is a Korean mineral based spf. I have rosacea and acne and this protects my skin , doesn't cause breakouts and is lovely under make-up. I purchase my Korean beauty products on the beauty and Seoul website. Affordable prices. My mother also loves the SPF from Dr Sam bunting. Take care and stay safe
Hello Nadine from the States, really enjoy your videos and find them very helpful.
Have you ever heard of zinc oxide being very astringent and drying? At 66 I feel like I've tried every spf on the market for my sensitive skin, and recently went with Elta MD pure physical zinc - very highly rated and loved. By 4:00 in the afternoon my skin was dry, tight and uncomfortable, after 3 days I looked like I'd had a procedure! Went on line and read the above- zinc oxide is very astringent, drying, and best for younger skins.
Any thoughts? Thanks again for you always wonderful content!
Biore Aqua rich watery essence is my all time holy grail.
Nadine you MUST try the Purito Unscented Centella sunscreen (chemical) or if you prefer mineral, the Purito Comfy Water sun screen (more mat) both available on Yes Style ... they have changed my life, no whitecast, feathery light ... I will never buy a European sunscreen again !
