[@arlettes7498]

I’m so happy to find a black youtuber who’s actually living in Canada cause I’m living in Toronto and as much as I love American black youtuber sometimes I can’t have access to some things they talked about so thank you amd great videos

[@xoReni]

I found the same problem!! You go search of the products and they don’t ship here. So devastating🤣🤣 thank you for watching 💕

[@kellilangvo]

Come on companies...we need more sunscreen choices for brown skin!

[@xoReni]

We do!

[@simplymzkira]

The intro was it for me 😆

[@simplymzkira]

Your skin is goals! I have also tried the ordinary and those products has def changed my life. 😊

😂😂 Nobody's got 6 minutes to put on only sunscreen

[@xoReni]

Likeeee 😂 ridiculous!!

[@orefaluyi8271]

Mine takes 15 minutes and that's honestly better than shelling out 20+ on sunscreen. I don't have the money to afford 20+ when I've got to use it every 2 hours every day and they don't give you more than 3 oz. Mine was around 8 dollars for 4oz on Amazon and it works just fine. At first, I would get Casper's twin sister white cast, but then I tried this trick this other black KZbinr said and she said to apply it in a thin layer. I used 6 or 7 layers and it left no white cast versus putting everything on all at once.

[@WrapsslingsandHarmony]

I had that Unsun everyday sunscreen it actually dried my skin out and left a cast. I wanted to love it bcuz it goes on so nicely but when it dries it's bad

[@xoReni]

The everyday sunscreen was horrible! Did you try the one for dark skin?

[@maryb868]

Oooh hun! I love your braids 😍😍😍..... I have the supergoop sunscreen spray, it's perfect! You should try that one, I think you'll love it. That unsun sunscreen for dark skin I really wanna try. Thanks for sharing hun 🤎

[@xoReni]

Thank you lovely! 🤎 I’ll definitely try out the spray, I’ve wanted to try it 😁

[@jazchanel1807]

I agree 6 minutes to rub in with the first sunscreen is entirely too long... I LOVE Supergoop, I use the unseen Supergoop and it’s clear in color and works perfect, no white cast on the face.. I wear sunscreen every day !!! but honest moment I use to think I didn’t need it.... this was really good,I’ve always been curious about different sunscreens that would work for my skin

[@xoReni]

I really want to try out the supergoop unseen but it is ALWAYS sold out where I live!

[@DiaRIYA]

speaking nothing but the truth queen, and your hair looks so beautiful

[@xoReni]

Thank you my love🤎

[@NYJats]

Sooo helpful! I’m switching from chemical to mineral sunscreens so I’m trying to find the best one.

[@xoReni]

It really is trial and error 😩 I hope one of these work for you

the intro LMAO, also loving your hair!! & I've been looking at buying the Supergoop sunscreen so good to know it doesn't leave a whitecast!

[@xoReni]

Thank you girl! 🤎 yesss it is bomb! I’ve heard their unseen sunscreen is even better 😊

[@WrapsslingsandHarmony]

New subscriber! I've tried two of these and was mad at the casket ready look. I've found Paula's choice has two great sunscreens that don't leave me looking ghostly. The Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing lotion and the Defense Essential Glow moisturizer. Both mineral sunscreens and did very well with my sensitive skin

[@xoReni]

Omg I must try them! Thank you for the recommendations 🤎 I just ordered their BHA exfoliant!

I use the aveeno sunscreen and I really like that one. But I’m curious to try the unsung one now. As you know I’m all about supporting black owned businesses and as you said it works for our skin tones so I may have to make an order

[@xoReni]

Crystal Rose Aveeno is actually my favourite chemical sunscreen 🤎

[@findingmi8961]

Thanks Reni! I'm using the white superfood I'm the tube. Liking it so far!

[@xoReni]

I really like that one!! Works so well under makeup 😊

[@fefemyluv]

The search for a good mineral sunscreen for darker skinned people is tryinggggg lol. The cast, the dryness, the flakes. Omgggg. I recently tried EleVen by Venus Williams and it takes 5 minutes to blend in and is drying (and I have more oily skin than dry). So frustrating!

[@xoReni]

No way, that was one of the ones I was going to purchase! I’m disappointed since it’s formulated by a Black woman but I guess it’ll work for some and not for others - I’ve seen mixed reviews on it. The struggle with sunscreen is real.m 😩

[@fefemyluv]

@@xoReni yesss! I tried the serum just for reference. Venus did a demo video where she literally put a large pea size amount and it blended in perfectly. But I knew damn well I wasn’t using that little. When I applied 2 dropper amounts to my face, my face was so ashy and dry. I got my money back. One or both of them may work for you though!

[@cindynolimits]

You have such beautiful skin....I am having breakouts. What would you recommend

[@xoReni]

Thank you Cindy! I recommend starting a hydrating skin routine first and foremost. It makes all the difference 🙌🏾

[@xoReni]

[@acenp6565]

Do these products work best accord to the skin

[@xoReni]

Not sure I understand your question

[@acenp6565]

xoReni I have a sensitive skin and anything that I apply on the skin irritates it. So my question is whether this applies to all skins?

[@xoReni]

Mineral sunscreens are known to be better for sensitive skin as they have less irritants! Can’t be sure it’ll work for you but it’ll definitely be better for you than chemical sunscreen

[@chimaxtreat]

What body lotion do you use together with the sunscreen?

[@xoReni]

Body lotion or body sunscreen? If lotion - aveeno, if sunscreen black girl sunscreen

About the zincscreen: if it leaves someone with dry skin glowing I dont think is good for oily skin right?

[@xoReni]

I’ve heard people with oily skin say they love it!

[@Oyin_Daramola]

I’m one of the razz people that don’t use sunscreen on their face 🙈 Mostly because my skin stays reacting to everything. Thinking of trying out Frank Ocean’s mum’s sunscreen, I like the resulting look and it’s also easier on the pockets. Hopefully I don’t break out

[@xoReni]

I understand the struggle styll I’m always scared something is going to break me out! Try patch testing before hand & if you buy from Sephora they will let you return it if it doesn’t work for you 😊

@@xoReni That make sense! Will do

[@celestinetoussaint6350]

oh my lol

[@LanieOh]

It will be nice if companies make sunscreens that are safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding. A lot of the mineral sunscreens have ingredients that could be unsafe for use in pregnancy like Salicylate or its derivative. Unsun is what I need right now. Safe and aesthetically pleasing.

FYI… “ THE BIG DEAL” is that the chemicals in chemically based sunscreens is that many of the products used cause cancer. OMG just got to the part of the video where you say you love in Canada! Depending on where you live you probably done even need any sunscreen. Thank you so much for the video because people of color often forget to use it and it’s so important no matter how dark your skin is… the old saying “black don’t crack” is sadly not true. People of color are just as prone to premature aging, skin cancer and the rest. Thanks again!

I just got it actually! Havent had a chance to try it on yet

[@jinzhang836]

I feel that if u spend 6 minutes to rub in a sunscreen, at that stage it's probably not rub in anymore, maybe it's rub off. Especially if you got rid of the white cast at the end of "rub in" process. The sunscreen is probably not as effective anymore.

I beg to differ, but I don't use that one anyways haha

You're not supposed to rub sunscreen into your skin apparently. You apply it, it forms a film. I wonder what these sunscreens look like on your skin after 15 minutes without rubbing it in

[@xoReni]

Not true! You rub in and then it takes 15 mins to fully dry and create the film. But you still have to rub in lol!

[@Kyprioth071]

I've actually yet to find a dermatologist who says you have to rub in any kind of product for a long period of time--that would definitely irritate anyone's skin. The overarching theme is to be gentle with your skin to avoid damaging the top layer. So just gently rub in to apply just like you would anything else.
