Mineral Sunscreens were not my thing. The drying, thick, casty formulas were inelegant, unflattering, and a horror for dehydrated drier skin types. However, I didn’t give up hope and am thrilled to have found so many wonderful, new generation, pure, 100% mineral sunscreens! For the last few years I’ve trialed so many to find the formulas are getting better and really wearable. If you have darker skin, these may leave a minimal whitecast and the tinted versions are designed to work better for your skin. I thought it would be helpful to separate a few sunscreens as ones that are particularly good for drier, more mature skin types, though most of the formulas will work either as a primer or a moisturizer substitute to suit all skin types! Ofcourse, we have different skin types that could react differently to products, this is just my experience. These are my favourites and I will consistenty be updating you on new ones that I feel stand out! Stay tuned for more sunscreen videos!
I’ve included ones that are good for all skin concerns, oily, acne prone, sensitive post-procedure skin, dry and mature skin. These are also great under makeup and very importantly, leave no, or minimal whitecast! For reference, I’m about a smidge darker than an NC-25.
