Beauty Tips For Body Care
I’ve accumulated a lot of sunscreens and I feel like I should share my knowledge so people don’t have to buy as many sunscreens as me to find ones they like lol. For context, I’m 22 with normal skin but super sensitive eyes and I have a light skin tone. Here’s my thoughts on the sunscreens:Bioderma Photoderm Milk SPF 50+This one is greasy but if you like the glass skin look, this works well as a primer. When I first put it on, it does look a little white, but it goes away pretty quickly and for some reason, it oxidised a little darker on me. Not sure why but it didn’t always happen. Do not get this anywhere near your eyes because it does sting and make them water, but it does have good staying power for me and it’s PPD is high, so I’m not sure if I would repurchase this to be honest. Almost done with it and it lasted more than a year and both my mom and I shared this for sometime so good value for money if you’re interested.Garnier Ombrelle Wet N Protect Kids SPF 60Straight up, I would not put this on any child’s or adult’s face and I certainly wouldn’t repurchase. It stings your face like no other, but more than that it stings the eyes so painfully that you feel like flushing your eyes out for a few minutes. I think it might be because of the oxybenzone since this is the first time I’m using a sunscreen with it. This didn’t sting my body skin so I’m going to use it that way until I finish it and then throw it away forever.Innisfree Tone Up No Sebum Sunscreen SPF 35 PA+++Honestly, it’s my fault that I don’t like this because I don’t really like mattifying products. This is the only mineral sunscreen I own and I can’t really wait to get rid of it. I’m around a MAC NC20 but this was less tone up more corpse up. Adding to me looking like a dead body, the mattifying effect made me look 60 and the sunscreen pilled so I am not a fan and I just use this to mattify my oily eyelids for eyeshadow. If you want a matte, mineral sunscreen, go with Australian Gold which is tinted too.Hawaiian Tropic Matte Effect SPF50If you’re on a budget, this and another sunscreen I’m going to mention would be my recommendations. I originally bought this for my body but tried it on my face out of curiosity and it worked out really well. It’s not really matte your skin, more of a natural finish, and even though this has 7.3% Zinc Oxide, I find that after 30 seconds of rubbing in, there’s no white cast, but I can’t say what it would look like on darker skin tones. The chemical filters don’t bother my skin either and it doesn’t sting around the eyes. Definitely top 3 out of all the suncreens I tried this time around. Only downside is that this doesn’t have the newer chemical filters that I prefer but there is an ok amount of Zinc Oxide, so I don’t feel too concerned.La Roche Posay Anthelios XL Comfort Melt in Cream SPF 50Probably my favourite sunscreen of all time. Great filters, natural finish, no white cast, comes in a huge size too, doesn’t sting around the eyes, cured my depression, etc. I literally don’t have anything bad to say about this sunscreen... I guess the packaging is kind of ugly? Not sure if the formulation is the same as the European one but it’s still amazing.Banana Boat Kids SPF 60This comes is a huge value size and I really wish I would’ve gotten that instead because this sunscreen could just be a daytime moisturizer. It feels oddly soothing to apply and doesn’t sting the skin or eyes at all. I picked it up on a whim and I’m really glad I did because this is definitely up there for the most comfortable sunscreens to wear. It doesn’t have any modern sunscreen filters, but I do believe octocrylene does stabilize avobenzone (correct me if I’m wrong) so I’m not too mad about it. What I’m mad about is the ugly yellow packaging but I’ll live with it because this is probably what I’m going to use in the winter when my skin is uncomfortable and dry and it’s super cheap too.I purchased all of them except the Innisfree one (got that at Sukoshi mart) at Shoppers which imo has the best selection of sunscreens. Also for anyone wondering, I’m in Canada where we have access to sunscreen filters like the Mexoryls and Tinosorb S and M, but not any of the Uvinul filters (unless you go to T&T and buy a Japanese sunscreen but that’s just between us). European brands and Garnier have the UVA in a circle to indicate that UVA protection is at least 1/3 of the SPF value. Not sure about the non European brands though.So, there you go. Hope this was helpful!
