MY GO TO SUMMER SPF. HOW I REAPPLY SPF!

What is it? Umbra Tinte is a tinted physical sunscreen with UVA/UVB protection to help prevent free radical damage and oxidative damage! Targeted to those with normal, dry, combo and oily skin. We all know the importance of SPF. A physical sunscreen creates a barrier between your skin and the sun to reflect the UV rays, while a chemical sunscreen is absorbed into the skin and absorbs the UV rays converting them to heat and basically prevents you from getting burned. Imo physical sunscreens are all around better for you but this is just one sunscreen I’ve tested. Umbra Tinte has 20% zinc oxide, algae extract, and sunflower extract as main ingredients. My experience: I had high hopes for Umbra Tinte because i love most DE products. This sunscreen is gritty, Stings my eyes, and makes my face itchy. Physical sunscreens aren’t the easiest to use and I know that but I’ve tried several others (because my mom and I both work at dermatologists offices ) and I haven’t had this experience with any others. I will say it isn’t extremely hard to wash off and doesn’t have much of a white cast which i appreciate since i get very dark in the summer. It gives my skin an extra oily feel too. I never experienced a breakout with this sunscreen so that’s also a plus. I just could not deal with wearing this. The smallest amount of sweat would make it fall off into my eyes which caused a lot of stinging. I ended up just using on my arms and chest which I think it worked a lot better and was easy to spread. It retails At 36 USD which is a decent price for a physical sunscreen but i would not repurchase this due to the experiences I had and it wouldn’t be my first sunscreen recommendation. DRUNK ELEPHANT - Umbra Tinte Physical Daily Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 30 My rating: 2/5

My skin type is combo oily that can lean more dry during the weather changes or just randomly. My skin concerns are acne, oiliness throughout the day and also dehydration. I’ve ranked these popular hyped sunscreens based on how they worked for me personally (going from favorite to least favorite). My favorite is Unseen because it’s a primer and sunscreen in one, is lightweight and I haven’t had an issue with pilling. I prefer SPF 40 or higher. .

It also doesn’t pill when I put my makeup on. Repurchase/Recommend?: Yes, it would be more for people with dry skin, but it’s moisturizing enough to act as my moisturizer too so I apply it by itself (or on top of serum). .

I have combo skin . And I am always hunt for those fresh products . You know , as for sunscreen, especially broad spectrum sunscreen, it’s not easy. Some greasy ingredients is troublesome 🤭 But this bad boy from supergoop make me satisfied. It has a watery texture to refresh my skin. Never cause any breakouts or leave white cast, supergoop unseen sunscreen is really friendly to combo skin. It protects me from winter Uv rays all day. My skin enjoys this comfortable experience when I wear it to go out. I will repurchase this one !

I have combination skin that is sensitive and acne-prone. I’m also someone who doesn’t like anything with a sticky feeling on my face! 🌱This is the Centella Green Level Unscented Sunscreen and it is gorgeous. ✨First of all, it passes the Not Sticky test and doesn’t leave a white cast at all. It’s basically another hydrating moisturizer for your face in the way it applies and interacts with the skin. For this reason, reapplying doesn’t feel gross or heavy and this is one of the few sunscreens I actually enjoy reapplying throughout the day which is so important! ✨This has Hyaluronic Acid in it as well as Centella to enhance the skin barrier which provides protection from ultraviolet rays and any external stressors. It also avoids things like fragrance and essential oils so it is good for sensitive skin. ✨This is $16 for 2 oz which in my opinion is great for what you’re getting. What’s your favorite sunscreen? 🌞

S U P E R G O O P Unseen Sunscreen 💫 SIDE NOTE: I use to be terrible with applying sunscreen and literally never wore any as a teen... Aka I probs had sun poisoning multiple times lol. BUT, my point is, I regret it so much and want to stress how important it is to apply sunscreen! I’m definitely still not perfect with this, but I try my best. ☺️ • this sunscreen is marketed as a daily primer/ SPF sunscreen. • it’s safe for normal, dry, combo, and oily skin types. • it’s targeted towards protecting the skin from sun exposure while providing a weightless, scentless, daily priming, and completely invisible application! • the texture is honesty like no other! it’s kind of gel-like but thicker. HONESTY: •I absolutely love this sunscreen! It applies so comfortably and works well alone or under makeup! It feels great on the skin and isn’t too greasy or drying! •This sunscreen didn’t break me out or make my skin irritated at all! I am usually super sensitive to sunscreen and this one is definitely one I will keep using! I also love how it’s not visible, it literally just looks like you put on moisturizer! •I would definitely recommend this sunscreen! It’s a great clean option and a little goes a long way! One mini sized tube lasted me weeks!!! •It’s $32 for a full size of this sunscreen but I feel like it’s worth it in my opinion. It’s clean at Sephora, vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free (which are all really important to me). RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m giving this sunscreen 5 out of 5 stars! It’s a great fit for my skin and I love every aspect of it! I will be repurchasing for sure! 🤩 Supergoop! - Unseen Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40

Disclaimer: Two studies have shown that this Purito sunscreen only contains 19 SPF. They have stopped selling them and are offering refunds to those that have bought the product in the past 6 months. I no longer use or recommend this product. Check out Krave - The Beet Shield if you are looking for an alternative! It can be hard finding the right face sunscreen. There are SO many out there! Well let me tell you about PURITO - Centella Green Level Unscented Sun SPF50+ What is it? - A water-based sunscreen formulated with Centella extracts that help protect your skin from UV rays and harmful environments without stickiness or white residue left on the skin. It does not contain any essential oils or artificial fragrance, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. It uses SPF50+ PA++++ and photo-stable UV filter to provide soft yet powerful protection from ultraviolet rays. Is it safe for sensitive skin? - Purito excludes all the components of most common chemical UV screens that aggravate acne and irritate sensitive skin, such as Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, 2-methylbenzylidene camphor, Oxybenzone, and Abobenzone. Instead, they exclusively use EWG Green Level Grades 1 and 2 ingredients, making sure the product is suitable for all skin types. How does it work? - Unlike other sunscreens that form a physical layer to ensure UV protection, this product is absorbed into the skin where it transforms UV rays into harmless heat, so you don’t feel it on your face. Moreover, with its 70% moisture base and 4 different types of essences, it works like a moisturizing cream, making it even easier to apply natural makeup. What’s in it? - This product contains Hyaluronic acid that helps retain over 1,000 times its weight in water within the skin cells, as well as Centella asiatica extract that restores the oil/moisture balance of the skin and helps the formation of collagen which gives the skin its elasticity. In other words, it has all the necessary ingredients to keep your skin healthy and well moisturized. My review- - I purchased this product after seeing Skincare by Hyram and Whatsonvisface recommend it! I had been using Rodan and Field’s Soothe Sunscreen, but wanted something that did not sit on the skin, yet still provided hydration. I am treating my acne with clindamycin and tretinoin so I needed a sunscreen that hydrates and soothes my skin, while not clogging my pores. This sunscreen does exactly that! It rubs onto my skin so easily. It’s the perfect consistency, not too thin but not too thick. It provides hydration and protection, without being sticky or sitting on the skin. The lack of essential oils/fragrances, plus the addition of centella, means it’s non-irritating. It also contains niacinamide, which is perfect for acne-prone skin! Since I have dry skin, I use it in addition to my moisturizer, but I think if you have oily skin you could just use the sunscreen since it’s so hydrating!
