Hey guys! I can't believe so many of you found this video helpful. 🤗 I just wanted to clarify that you SHOULD still rub in that Neutrogena spray sunscreen to get the full SPF. That being said, I would not recommend it for makeup wearers. Thanks for always supporting me!! Feel free to checkout some of my other sunscreen reviews - kzread.info/head/PLFBoPQrySMV8W65q8HagdJeyVLPN1PwfY
Sunscreen is such an essential!! A lot of people don’t realize it when they are young but when you start getting older - you’ll thank yourself for wearing sunscreen!!! Your skin is flawless!!!😍

The Sunbum sunscreen KILLED my eyes! I had to pull over because I was driving and then all of a sudden my eyes got one of the worst burning sensations I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. It took a couple days of it happening in a row for me to realize it was the sunscreen, haven’t been able to wear it since....sucks because I did like it and how it dried on my skin 😢

The Black Girl sunscreen left my skin so oily! but my freckles decreased when I would apply it before going outside, so it does protect the skin well. I'll give the Super Goop a try.

So to mattify it I just dust some finishing powder over my skin :) thanks again, I hope your channel grows a lot, you are so pleasant to watch

I tried most of these and my top fave sunscreens are the coola and ulta md. I HATE the neutrogena one. Def one of my regret purchases. I never tried the la roche because it’s super pricey for what it’s worth to me. The sun bum one goes on the bottom of my list too. Been wanting to dry the black girl sunscreen in matte. I’m not a fan of the super goop unseen sunscreen…. I get pilly from it and it makes me feel “dirty.” So the claims of oily freee…. Ehhh not a fan… I have super sensitive and oily skin

I love that you did the reviews for darker skin. I will say that darker skin is actually more prone to skin cancer and we are more likely to die from it than lighter skin. We have larger melanocytes and it lets in more UVA and UVB rays. Because we have darker skin it will take longer for us to notice the damage and we tend to get treatment at a later stage of the disease. We need at least an SPF 50 and preferably a mineral sunscreen if possible.
@benenon
2 жыл бұрын
Very true! It's harder to notice damage so it can take longer before getting a diagnosis. As long as you're wearing sunscreen, I think the type (physical or mineral) is up to you. Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable, works for your skin, and is protecting your skin :)

The black girl sunscreen caused breakouts for me. Supergoop works is better for oily or sensitive skin.
Dr. Dray recommends the black girl sunscreen but the kids version. Maybe it never crossed your mind to try sunscreens for kids so I'm just gonna put it out there. Also, I wonder if you US residents have L'Oreal sunscreens available? I live in South East Asia and I have light-medium skin (it tans pretty quickly if I spend too much time under the sun) and I like L'Oreal sunscreens since it doesn't leave a whitecast, pretty oily-skin friendly, and pretty affordable (I got mine for $7.9 for 2 bottles of 30mL).

@@benenon I like L'Oreal UV Perfect Super Aqua Essence SPF 50+ PA++++ but I'm not sure if it's available in the US bcs of FDA regulations on chemical filters. However the sunscreen itself is a watery gel formula so it's pretty oily-skin friendly and it offers a good amount of protection. There's a matte one but I find matte formulas to weirdly make my skin oilier so I don't recommend that one. The other one is a "tone-up" formula but I don't recommend "tone-up" creams for medium-dark skinned people because it's gonna make them ashy and the "tone-up" concept itself being problematic.

Guys, I'm from Italy. A black friend of mine doesn't use SPF 'cause she can't find an SPF without a white, gray, or blue cast for body and face. So if anybody has suggestions, please write them down below. Here I can find easily La Roche Posay, Uriage, Nivea, or Rilastil.
@alia_babo

Has she tried chemical sunscreens from those brands? Usually chemical formulas don't leave a whitecast. I have light-medium skin tone (I'm south east asian) and I've personally tried Nivea's and La Roche Posay's sunscreens and both sunscreens are chemical sunscreens and they don't leave a whitecast on me. The one I've tried from Nivea I believe is exclusive to Asia so unfortunately I'm not sure if she can find that in Italy but Nivea has many chemical sunscreens that are available in the EU, so maybe she can try that instead. The one I've tried from La Roche Posay is the same one from this video and as you can see, it left a whitecast on her so if your friend is the same complexion or darker, I don't think it would work on her. However La Roche Posay has many other options so maybe she can try those. Other brand that I would suggest to try is Altruist. I believe it's a UK brand so idk if it's available in the EU since brexit but maybe she can get them online. I've tried it and like it so much because it doesn't leave a whitecast and comes in water resistant formula. Unfortunately it became pretty pricey to have them shipped to my country so I don't buy them anymore.

I kept using it for a week just to make sure it was breaking me out and the acne just got worse so I stopped using it
