aww yay!! 🥰🥰🥰 i'm glad this video was helpful. it's so hard finding a black girl friendly sunscreen, isn't it? all i would say about this one though is to be mindful of the smell. even though it says it's not fragranced (and it's not really per-say) the smell leaves much to be desired 😂😂😂💛

YAAAAAS I love sunscreen because I have sun damage already as someone who is pale and freckled. I now pride myself on taking care of my skin and getting out of the sun more but I don’t think many of the sunscreens make my friends comfortable wearing because so many of them talk about the sheen on top of their skin and thus they’d rather risk sun damage. So I’d love to have sunscreen that’s completely universal so everyone can use my sunscreen! It breaks my heart that such vital skin care products such as spf is not always universal😭

yesss -- i agree 100%! i'm such a huge supporter of sunscreen, especially for darker skin because there's such a misconception that dark skin tones don't need sunscreen :( even for me, it wasn't until 6/7 years ago that i started wearing it properly 🙈🙈🙈 and i totally get your friends because some of the sunscreens i've tried have been absolutely hideous and made me doubt wearing anything at all. i really wish sunscreen was more universal but i'm happy that there are waaaay more options available and that people are starting to know more about the importance of it. thank you for your comment! i always love hearing different perspectives 🥰🥰🥰

Basically it doesn't feel too sticky, it kinda serves as a good primer for make up (blush for me, like my blush looked so good!). I really love it. I'll give it a couple weeks to see if it makes me breakout or anything but it seems to be really promising!

Does it have a mate finish? I hate sunscreens that are greasy

Sunscreen is the most important item in your skincare. You must wear sunscreen everyday otherwise everythng else you're using is a waste. Unfortunately for me, chemical sunscreens are not for me cos of my sensitive skin. Mineral/physical sunscreens are better for me. Pricey but I have no choice.
