Beauty Tips For Body Care
My skin is oily and sensitive with large pores and some fine lines.All sunscreens were applied on top of First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Wild Oat Hydrating Toner.Paula’s Choice RESIST Supper-Light Daily Wrinkle Defence SPF 30Filters: Zinc Oxide 13%Colour: The sunscreen is advertised as having “sheer, natural tint for all skin tones” but I don’t think its truly universal. The level of pigmentation is similar to that of a light coverage foundation, so unless it matches your skin tone, I don’t think it will look natural. For comparison, it is lighter than Australian Gold Fair/Light and is also less pink/peachy. The shade happens to be a very good match for me, however because it is quite pigmented, it looks a bit weird if worn without makeup.Texture: Silky silicone cream that is lightweight and matte. While not as mattifying as Australian Gold, this sunscreen is still more matte than 90% of other sunblocks that I’ve tried over the years. I only blotted once during the day after work, and it still looked great by the time I was washing it off before bed. It also did not peel when I was applying it and didn’t look weird around the hairline or eyebrows.Burning around eyes: Zero.Verdict: Great matte sunscreen if it matches your skin tone and if you wear makeup.Paula’s Choice RESIST Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50Filters: Avobenzone 2.0%, Octinoxate 7.50%, Octisalate 5.0%, Octocrylene 2.0%Colour: Absolutely transparent, not a hint of whiteness.Texture: Milky liquid. Historically I’ve never had a good experience with milk type sunscreens and unfortunately this is not an exception. Like all other liquid sunscreens that I’ve tried, it looks greasy upon application and has to be set with translucent powder. It started looking shiny around 3 hours into the wear and I also noticed that it was settling into my pores and fine lines. It performed better than LRP Shaka Fluid which looks terrible on me after only an hour, but still not good enough to buy full size. Also like with all liquid sunscreens it comes off when blotted with a tissue, so I don’t trust the coverage if I blot.Burning around eyes: There was no burning which is better than LRP Shaka Fluid and most other chemical sunscreens, however when I was washing off my makeup in the evening I noticed a little bit of redness around eyes and nose.Verdict: Performs better than most other liquid sunscreens but that entire format rarely works for me, so it is a low bar.Paula’s Choice Essential Glow Moisturizer SPF 30Filters: Titanium Dioxide 5.25%; Zinc Oxide 6.12%Colour: This is another tinted sunscreen but the tint is totally different from RESIST Supper-Light Daily Wrinkle Defence SPF 30. While RESIST was so pigmented it looks like makeup, this only has just enough greyish beige tint to offset the whiteness of the physical filters. Because the tint is so transparent, the whiteness still comes through, but at least it doesn’t give that weird lavender/blue cast to warm skin tones.Texture: As the name suggests, the sunscreen is glowy. It is not unpleasantly greasy, but given that I have oily skin, I needed to set it with translucent powder. It is also one of those sunscreens where you need to be very fast with the application lest you end up with streaks on your face. It wasn’t as bad as EltaMD UV Clear where the streaks also peel if touched accidentally, but not cosmetically elegant nonetheless. On top of the streaks, a couple of hours in, I started seeing the sunscreen settling in my pores and fine lines.Burning around eyes: Zero.Verdict: RESIST Supper-Light Daily Wrinkle Defence SPF 30 was a better choice for me in every aspect.Paula’s Choice CLEAR Ultra-Light Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 30+Filters: Avobenzone 2.0%, Octinoxate 7.50%, Octisalate 5.0%, Octocrylene 2.0%Colour: Absolutely transparent.Texture: Milky liquid, very similar to RESIST Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50 but more elegant. I still needed to set it with translucent powder after application, but it lasted longer without looking shiny or settling into the pores or fine lines. It also did not look weird around the hairline or brows although I noticed a tiny amount of peeling on the neck where I did not blend it well. It is a kind of sunscreen that looks best when applied quickly but it is much more forgiving than EltaMD UV Clear or Essential Glow Moisturizer.Burning around eyes: Zero.Verdict: Probably one of the best sunscreen liquids that I’ve tied although I still prefer RESIST Supper-Light Daily Wrinkle Defence as it’s more matte and doesn’t peel no matter how it is applied.
