Best & Worst! Testing Mineral Sunscreen for Face 2017

[@MascaratoMidnight]

I mean, are there really words for how amazing she is. I CANNOT understand how she doesnt have millions of viewers. She is literally the best youtuber there is. She's amazing. I just....this is amazing. Thank you, Angi!

[@ninak8506]

Mascara to Midnight completely agree!

[@decoratorwannabee9843]

Mascara to Midnight ytuth

[@earthlingsmith6177]

Mascara to Midnight I believe it's because she's real. She isn't fake.

[@hogwartie538]

EXACTLY! Her dedication to KZbin is just insane!

[@sharonworyn8024]

Amen to that!

[@TheNessMess]

OK, the Australian Gold Botanical Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50 has changed my life! Like you, I cannot do chemical sunscreen. I also hate it when I see a million make-up tutorials, and hardly any have sunscreen as a step. This sunscreen not only protects my face, but it acts as a PORE FILLER for my nose! I swear I hardly have to blot my face during the day! 2-for-1, BABY!

[@nellyhanson04]

I have dry skin and use the Australian gold. I have been using it for over a year. It works perfect for me. So if have dry skin, don't be discouraged, and try it anyway.

[@nickiiimar]

Thank you! Buying today!

[@valeriasanchez5053]

This is the comment I was looking for, thank youuuu🥺❤️

[@nabanitasen]

thank you, definitely trying

[@theclassicalgirl]

for me it was tooo drying

[@sofiaa.8217]

yess same! i start with a moisturizing spf wich leaves my face looking shiny so then come over top with the australian gold wich takes that shine away and i reapply it throughout the day, it’s great and i dont find it to be that drying either

[@abe5849]

Love the Australian Gold tinted sunscreen! I wore it on it's own with some concealer-it looked great all day.

[@Kennedy4295]

From the bottom of my heart thank you for doing this I spent my teens and 20's in and out of tanning beds and now that I've hit 30 I'm surveying the damage. To some people this is just a video but to me it's much more. All your videos are wonderful and informative and so greatly appreciated💜

[@LiahYoo]

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for putting so much effort in educating us! I can only imagine how time consuming and tiring it is doing demo, makeup application and the wear test!! Will definitely recommend your videos to my viewers

[@kirstie.k]

Agreed! 100%

[@marylahage9985]

Angie, you put out the best SPF videos each year hands down. Keep up the outstanding work. Your subscribers appreciate all the hard work and details and humor you put into each video.

[@tonigrassi2287]

Wow you do put a lot of work into your videos. Thank you for doing all the dirty work for us. All the info is so helpful.😁

[@debracancelliere4081]

You’re supposed to use 1/4 tsp for your entire face in order to get the stated SPF. That’s a lot of sun screen!

[@kimzorza1543]

I watched some of your older sunscreen videos and I swear you are getting younger with time!!!!!!! looking great girl!

[@shaysinger6461]

I'm so excited to hear that the winner is only 12.99 too! I'll definitely be trying it out because my biggest issue with sunscreens is usually combatting oil! Thank you!

[@allydea]

Today was my fist day with Australian Gold sunscreen and now I can't understand HOW I could live without it so far!! It is perfect for me! Many thanks Angi! xx

[@JVSak]

I've been using the Clinique Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen, and although it's teeny tiny for the price, I love it. No breakouts, no irritation, and really been keeping my sun sensitive pregnant skin protected. Great video, Angie! You are so dedicated!! xo Jill

[@terif5198]

OMG! I got the Australian Gold and it is AMAZING! I really love that I am finally using sunscreen on my face for the first time at age 50. Before all sunscreens that I got were chemical sunscreens and burnec skin and eyes. I had know idea about the mineral sunscreen. Your video taught me so much. Thank you for your videos....they really are helping people.

[@olga159]

I don't know if I said this before but I am wearing mineral sunblock because of Angie. Not only she speaks about which one works better but she also promotes skin cancer awareness. Keep up the great work!

[@kathymills1925]

You are my favorite KZbinr! I am 52, with oily skin. So your reviews/recommendations are spot on for me!

[@zubairbhatti8652]

HI

[@maomao521521]

Just wanna say big THANK YOU, I bought HydroPeptide Solar Defense, it's simply the best face sunscreen I ever experienced! No excuse not wearing sunscreen anymore.

[@lindsey6579]

Reporting back with the Australian Gold Botanical SPF 50 tinted face lotion. I have dry to sometimes normal skin. I used a bit of serum and emollient lotion underneath to prevent any dryness. The sunscreen itself didn't cause any flaking or dryness for me. I loved the matte look! Definitely less shine than my Paula's Choice SPF for dry skin (that I also find pills if I am too vigorous when I apply it). I loved it! Great price point and still worked (possibly even better) on my dry skin than my more expensive PC sunscreen. Thank you Angie! Holy Grail product *big thumbs up*

[@danamarie3154]

Australian Gold is my new holy grail sunscreen. After hearing your review I immediately went to Ulta and purchased it. I tried it on the back of my hand after I got home and am in love with how little notice I take of having it on. I typically don't like the way sunscreen feels but when It gets on my fingertips and palms, it's the worst feeling ever. Australian Gold is basically unnoticeable. Thanks so much for your work.

[@shasti6849]

At 12:45 when you are showing the Australian gold results, I couldn't stop staring at your lip color! Very flattering to you.

[@carolinek220]

Shasti yes! I thought the same thing!

[@lisaa8437]

Yes, agree! I left my own comment asking her what it was! Boo hoo, haven't heard back yet. 😭 it is so beautiful!

[@carolineyaun8627]

I bought the Australian Gold Tinted SPF 50 sunscreen that placed #1 in Angie's review. It is amazing under my makeup and I love it! I wanted to let everyone know that while Angie reviewed this more for those of us who wear makeup - my husband loves this as well. He is a ginger with sensitive skin and has trouble finding sunscreen that doesn't leave a white cast. The tint in this product counters the white cast and it is undetectable on his skin. Thank you, thank you for recommending this product - I doubt I would have found it without you, Angie! We are thrilled.

[@atomicxfox]

BTW if you buy the Australian gold sunscreen at Ulta its buy one get one half off at ulta plus the 3.50 off coupon does apply!

[@jowiens32]

buIletproof1022 Where do I get the $3.50 off coupon code from? Thanks for the tip!!

[@suzetteroberts9072]

love that store! I feel like a kid in the candy store!

[@Tashah-kt5wx]

[@jowiens32]

Tashah Stephens Awesome. Thank you!

[@FlamingJuneRuns]

Thanks for reminding me to use the coupon! I purchased the sunscreen on Ulta because it was already sold out on Amazon. I am a diehard Paula's choice tinted mineral moisturizer user - but if I can find something cheaper that works just as well I'm all on it! Here's hoping this is my new HG! Thanks for being our guinea pig Angie!

[@jananderson8559]

I was on my way out the door with a manufacturers coupon from the Skin Care Company. After viewing your video, you have saved me time, money and disappointment. This video and very informative and you are a beautiful soul. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.

[@elizabethebs1230]

EltaMD...my favourite. Amazing product. I have dry skin.

[@zmijka2001]

Thank you Angie!!!! The number one sunscreen you presented ...I bought it right away and my life has changed 180 degrees. It is AMAZING!!!! For my combination/oily skin - this sunscreen is the answer to my prayers. Thank you. I was lucky to find the last one in Ulta store and they also offer buy 1 get 1 50% off so I purchased the spray version. The smell, the consistency, and the "no residue" feeling works great for me and for my 5-year old running away from greasy sprays. I stocked up online as well. For summer makeup I paired it up with MIRACLE SKIN TRANSFORMER MEDIUM FLUID FINISH FOUNDATION SPF 40 W/BRUSH in the medium shade for my light/medium complexion. It lasted the whole day until I removed it 14 hours later. It did not move, did not shine and looked stunning! Thanks again!!!

[@karenwalker8682]

Angie is the queen of sunscreen 🙌🏼

[@jesusismykinghallelujah5303]

Thank you Angie for this VERY important information! I am blonde with blue eyes and I freckle. I spent time in the sun when I was younger and had some nasty burns. Always on vacation I would wear SPF 15, spent just a little time in the sun and still got a slight tan. July 2016 I was diagnosed with Stage 3 malignant melanoma. Weird thing is that it was a TINY dot that my bikini bottoms would cover. This part of my skin NEVER saw the sun. My Dermatologist noticed it was not there last year and thank God he did. They operated, the first time and sent it out to pathology and THAT pathologist was so concerned about it, he sent it to Sloan Kettering (I live in upstate NY). It was Sloan Kettering who diagnosed it stage 3 so I had to have a 2nd operation where they removed POUNDS of flesh on my stomach. So now I go every three months for a check-up. It's very insidious because there is a great % that it WILL come back somewhere on my body. It's SO very important to wear sunscreen and thinking that you are dark skinned won't protect you because the cases of skin cancer in African Americans are going through the roof! BTW, because I RARELY got sun on my face, I have virtually NO wrinkles. I am 47 and people think I am in my early 30's. So, do your face and health some good. 15 minutes walking on a sunny day is ALL the Vitamin D you need, which is important.

[@FiftyPlusBeauty]

Bless you sweetie. I will add you to my prayers. I am so glad your doctor noticed that XXOO Beth

[@EM-ox2ei]

FiftyPlusBeauty, not sure why I didn't receive notifications on this post until now but THANK YOU very much! God bless you!!

[@EM-ox2ei]

Eileen, here are some *HUGS* for you! Thank you so much! Yes, God is good! On the way to the surgeon's I asked God to give me a sign that everything would be ok. As the Dr. was operating, I happened to ask him what his name meant since it was a Hebrew name. He said "In God's Hands". I knew right then and there that God gave me the sign and that everything was going to be ok. I told the surgeon and he looked at me with such disbelief and looked like he saw a ghost! Amazing the signs God can give us when our eyes and ears are open! Sounds crazy right? Well, it wasn't and all Glory to Him that He sent me to this particular Dr who caught that little spot 'that wasn't there last year'! P.S. This Dr. is in his late 70's and knew by SIGHT, without looking at my chart, that the little mole wasn't there, thank God. God bless you!

[@GeorgiaGirl410]

Thanks..this was so helpful. I've been getting BBL light therapy on my stubborn melasma. The doctor could not emphasize enough the importance of using a sunscreen of at least an SPF of 40 EVERYDAY! She basically said people should not waste their money on laser treatments for their face if they are not going to use a good daily sunscreen. I've been using the Elta MD UV Lotion, but am excited to try the Australian Gold. Thanks again!

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Your doctor is 100% right!!

[@gamayun1224]

Angie, how to best remove sunscreen? Do you use your Yes to Coconuts Melting Cleanser and Wonder Cloth?

[@michellekelly2937]

NY MSK, You are so right! Some sunscreens are hard to remove! I always start with Cetaphil Cleanser (to remove makeup), then rinse with warm water. I then follow with a Micellar water type cleanser (pour it into my hands and rub it into my skin), and rinse again using a soft cloth. Lastly, I follow with my regular cleanser. The Micellar cleanser is the one that seems to really cut through the sunscreen. I did try an oil cleanser hoping that might cut through the sunscreen, but it did nothing but make my face greasy. I've also tried the Costco Cleansing Cloths, and they seemed to work well, but I don't like using those because they're a disposable cloth. Anyway, this 3 step cleansing seems to work best for me and removes everything in a gentle way. My skin feels perfectly clean when I'm done! A Micellar cleanser is definitely worth a try! P.S. Not all Micellar cleansers are created equal. Some are better than others! Find one that you like!

[@FiftyPlusBeauty]

Gwenn. You are so smart! I have been using sunscreen daily for 15 years. I'm 59 now and I'm convinced the sunblock cut down on some damage to my skin. This summer I plan to add sunblock on my arms everyday. They are getting very crepey! Take care sweetie. XXOO Beth

[@trshamp]

Gwen I hope you read this. I have melasma and YOU NEED A HIGH ZINC sunscreen. I LOVE Angie and this site but honestly these suncreens are probably NOT enough for someone w/ "real" melasma. It SUCKS I have to use zinc at 16-20%. I use Obagi physical which is 18.75% zinc. It is thick and sometimes makes my make up look like shit BUT my melasma is kept at bay. I WISH I could use something less high zinc which I think would make my makeup look better but it is not worth the risk. Please do your research for your own skin/condition etc. Please look into higher zinc than what is suggested here if you have melasma. I mean this is better than nothing for sure BUT there is better for us w/ tough melasma! It SUCKS!!

[@cindyp5132]

Perfect! I've been so scared of trying sunscreen since burning my face with a chemical one... I ordered already. From your link on Amazon it's under $10 and with Amazon Prime it's free 2 day shipping, fantastic deal with no hassle. Sending my son one too. Thank You!

[@sammmnelson685]

wow. the dry touch Neutrogena is my absolute favorite ever. after I let it sit 5 minutes it's totally matte and perfect for my oily skin. I haven't found one better. it's amazing how things are different fir people, I spread all over face let it sit a few seconds and then pat it in and it's Perfect, no white face afterwards. to me it's spf heaven. I like the Josie Maran one too but not as much, and both don't affect my skincare underneath or my make up. love both and have used both like 5 bottles. lol. I thought it would be one you'd like,

[@FiftyPlusBeauty]

Samantha. I'm with you. I love that Neutrogena sunblock. It's pretty perfect. I'm 59 and I'm convinced my daily sunblock use has really helped. Bless you! XXOO a Beth

[@chrisr9764]

Samantha Nelson are you using enough?

[@bev692]

This is interesting to me which neutrogenana are you talking about can you give me the complete name pls

[@lw5417]

Testing sunscreens is expensive and I've experienced one bad product after another. Either greasy, or rolls off in little white beads after drying. Thank you for these much-needed recommendations. Looking forward to trying the top 2.

[@Mrmchiefs15]

Thank you so much for doing these types of videos! I value and trust your recommendations and you never let me down. I appreciate how thorough you explain and test every product you talk about. This video was exactly what i needed and i ordered your top pick. I cant wait to put it to use!

[@bigeyedfish1999]

I literally went right from your video to the ulta site and bought the Sunscreen because I trust your recommendations so much. I have been using the Australia gold for about a week and everything you say is true! I have testing out different sunscreens for about two months and the feeling of FINALLY finding one that works is indescribable! I have oily skin and use it under kat von d's lock it foundation. It actually makes it last longer! Thank you for your thoughtful reviews, Angie. I can't imagine how much time they must take to film. You are the best!

[@renlakaulitz]

I read the ingredients of Australia gold sunscreen and saw Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract is pretty high on the list. Some people do have reaction to its fragranced and sensitizing properties. Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract is also phototoxic if it is not extracted properly. I personally have bad reaction with that ingredient in the past so please keep that in mind :( It's so difficult to find a good mineral sunscreen (or sunscreen in general) for sensitive oily acne prone skin

[@serenity8910]

It's an extract though, not an essential oil. So it's less potent maybe? Personally, I'm more hesitant to try it because of the 3 types of silicone!

[@chickiewu3561]

I just got this Australian Gold Tinted Sunscreen. It does make my makeup look really good, and it lasts longer too! Big thanks @hotandflashy!

[@linda.said67]

.What a well timed video! I was going to purchase a new sunscreen today! Now I am going for the Australian botanical 50. I do have dry skin , however like you said at that price point might ad well give it a shot! Thanks

[@republicansex]

I love the Australian Gold, and my skin is combination with dry cheeks! I did not find it drying

[@SuzanneRenfrow]

If you're going to purchase it from Amazon, do it before you run out of your other sunscreen, lead time is showing 1 to 2 months as of this post :(

[@iloveromeo3]

I know we have to wear sunscreen, but I hate it. I hate it on my face and once it is on I cant wait to wash my face when its time to do so. I just hate it being on my skin. Uggg.

[@iloveromeo3]

How do you feel about those over make up sunscreen powders for touch ups once makeup is already on? As no matter what. All sunscreen wears off in 2.5 hours.

[@carlyeslinger]

I have quite dry skin too, and bought the A gold because of the price point. I think if you moisturize before, then let it soak in a while before doing your makeup, it works. Plus, when we get sweaty and hot in the summer heat, it will have that extra mattifying help. It's a great find!

[@VHPINC]

I found the Australian Gold on sale. And it's also available at Target. Appreciate you taking the time to compare all of this because, really, it saves all of us a ton of money from buying things that just don't work.

[@kristalslaughter8191]

What are your thoughts on Josie Maran sunscreen? I recently tried a sample and thought it worked well with liquid foundation. Also do you think you might do a reveiw on The Ordinary foundation?

[@SnowLeopard7]

Thank you so much! I went and bought the Australian Gold sunscreen. I can't believe I'm saying this about a sunscreen but I'm absolutely in love. It looks gorgeous under makeup (eg. blurs pores, keeps oil at bay, etc.) In fact, I would say it is better than any makeup primer I've used as well. Such a great find and it's not overly expensive.

[@gingerlime1703]

Ok girls sunscreen is SO important but as it is something that you use everyday and is absorbed by the skin be careful of the ingredients listed. It is not as simple as it may seems! Look up your sunscreen on the EWG’s cosmetic database and always do some research.

[@gingerlime1703]

Environmental Working Group provides a big database with all the harmful ingredients that the skinacare products contain based on research. There is a EWG annual guide for sunscreens for the 2016 and i am waiting for the 2017. For examle,Nano Zinc and Titanium dioxide, which are the active ingredients in the mineral sunscreens, can enter the blood stream, but non-nano will not. However, the companies usually use nano because it is less "white" on the skin. And consider that if you use nano sunscreen daily, it enters the blood stream daily!For me this is SCARY. That is what EWG talks about. Thank u for asking Eileen! And you are definitely not ignorant :)

[@peterkloostermann]

According all safety reports nano zinc oxide and nano titanium dioxide don't enter the blood stream. Ingredients like Homosalate and Oxybenzone have been detected in blood however.

[@chrisr9764]

Despina Nen EWG is a scam. Their database is laughable and doesn't even make sense. Some ingredients they will give a high (bad) score but then it says data gap, meaning not enough info is available. Other ingredients however they will give a low (good) score again with data gaps! They have no idea how to evaluate the safety of ingredients and are surely not relying on appropriate scientific data. For years they had an ingredient called polyparaben listen, but there doesn't exist such an ingredient! Let's also remember that the EWG is a business and have a vested interested in getting people to buy their approved sunscreens instead of the traditional ones.

[@gingerlime1703]

I see your point Chris!However, the sefaty of many ingredients is still controversial and because you/we do not understand how they rank the ingredients it doesn't mean they are wrong. Also, i don't find anything bad a company to promote safe skincare products. I would't expect all this research to be done for free. On the otherside, i am very suspicious on the cosmetic industry in general. Do you think everything is so innocent out there? Anyway, if you have an alternative more reliable database in mind please let me know :)

[@peterkloostermann]

Despina Nen Here are some of the actual safety reports. I think that's better than reading the interpretation by ewg. You could also search for the safety reports by the fda or on ncbi. www.cir-safety.org/ingredients

[@ShabamGram]

I LOVE the Australia Gold Botanical Sunscreen SPF 50!!! I didn't buy the tinted face version because I made a mistake when ordering, but it was a great mistake, because I am able to mix this VERY white sunscreen with my Estee Lauder Double wear LIGHT foundation that was too dark for my pale skin on it's own and I get the perfect color, it doesn't alter the matte finish, and it looks 1000x better on my skin than the It Cosmetics CC Cream with SPF 50 that I was using. Thank you so much for recommending this sunscreen, it doesn't break me out and the tube is HUGE...I am very happy! :)

[@eleanorrodway263]

Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into this video, it must have taken ages, but is so worth it from our perspective. X

[@patty4120]

This was great and timely. I have to admit I was a bit worried at first based on the prices of all the sunscreens....but to have one of the tops be affordable was a huge WIN! Thank you for all the work you did/do to make your videos so informative.

[@vickig3800]

How funny, I live in Australia and I cannot buy Australian Gold sunblock here. Shame as I am after a good sunblock for my oily skin and I have tried a lot and still trying to find my HG. Thanks for your videos, I love watching you. 😀👏🏻👏🏻

[@maree8470]

you might like the Alpha-H sunscreens - chemical not mineral but gentle and work very well under makeup. It is available in SPF30 and 50, I like 30 for everyday and 50 when going to the beach or pool. You can purchase from adorebeauty.com.au :))

[@wwaxwork]

As an Aussie livin gin the USA I'm always surprised by just how many products they have over here with the word "Aussie" in them that have nothing to do with Australia. Sunscreens with the name in abound ( or just the description "Australian suncreen" and there is also a shampoo conditioner range. Hell they've recently started selling "Australian Yogurt" as well.

[@greenknitter]

Sharonann Steward Which UK sunscreens so you rate as better than the best US ones? I know Boots make very highly rated UVA especially ones which I love but they've usually chemical SS. Any mineral SS recommendations?

[@tanyahine9562]

Same thing, live in Australia and have never heard of Australian gold. Even the Hydropeptide is hard to get at a reasonable price. Just bought one of each on ebay and there goes $90. Hope they are worth it

[@vickig3800]

Sharonann, I have family in the UK and I am going over in July, so which ones do you recommend for oily skin under makeup. TIA 😀

[@dgarard523]

Thank you for the recommended new sunscreen. I really love the Australian Gold; the finish is so wonderfully Matt and smooth and it stays that way.

[@michellej5616]

Thank you for the suggestions, Angie. I'm really having a hard time forcing myself to wear a higher SPF. My mother taught me to start wearing the old-fashioned Oil of Olay SPF 15 every day since my 20s. I'm now 46, and I think those years (even at that low level of SPF) helped. But now I want a higher SPF and I don't want to look greasy. I'll try the Australian Gold. I'm so glad I found a KZbinr who understands mature skin. You're gorgeous!

[@sonnylovesfreddy340]

You are a rock star. so so helpful!

That’s so sad about the IT Cosmetics sunscreen! I was about to buy it, so I am glad that I checked your video! You have the best reviews 😊 I have about the same skin type, even though I am going to be 31 tomorrow. And thank you so much for talking about skin cancer awareness! My grandfather had it when I was younger. Fortunately, he survived, and died from another cancer 20 years later. Sunscreen is so important to me, and so are your reviews!!!

[@sallyjoyce4678]

WooHoo! I agree, love the Australian sunscreen. Angie, look up Dr Dray a dermatologist who has you tube channel. She's good.

[@BlingyBea]

Yeah, was so excited when I saw this video on new sunscreens. Just ordered from Ulta buy one full price the 2nd half price. So the SolarDefence SPF30 in the blue tube now is a gold tube, same stuff as before cause I love the Blue Tube as well. Thank you Angie for all the time and effort you put into your videos, I really appreciate all you do.

[@rachelcusumano3761]

I just purchased your #1 rated sunscreen on a hunch just the other day at my grocery store! I looked at the back ingredient list and was amazed by Australian Gold's new product. I was even more amazed and inclined to purchase it, because someone had left a $4.00 off coupon on the shelf. I have been using it everyday (for 4 days now), but I haven't tried it with any base makeup. I look forward to giving it a try with my makeup soon after seeing you testing it out. Wonderful review, I watch every year! Thanks Angie!

[@dianaodisho9503]

You look beautiful! I love that lipstick you're wearing 😍

It's not the easiest to find (I buy it on Amazon), but I absolutely love Neutrogena Pure & Free Liquid Sunscreen SPF 50. It's lightweight, not greasy, and wears great under makeup. I think a lot of subscribers would like it, too.

[@whereisleigh]

Hi Angie! I have been wearing sunscreen daily since I was very very young as I wasn't allowed to leave the house without my sunscreen or my hat! 30+ years later I'm so glad my parents instilled this in me while I was so young! I have used hundreds of various sunscreens and I always appreciate your reviews! I just used the Australian gold for the first time and I'm loving it!!! Thank you!

[@lipstickkonniption7527]

I love your reviews!!! Every time a question popped into my head you answered it. Also thanks for including both oily and dry. I’m oily and it is so hard to find good stuff that is all mineral and water resistant. My nieces has Celiac Disease and tries to stay totally away from gluten. My sister and dad are both dry skinned and have had skin cancers removed on their faces. As you can imagine we’ve tried a lot of different things in all those scenarios. So basically we need all the help we can get! I think you covered it all! Thank you, thank you!

[@user-ks9yi5zx4l]

Faysal Mohammed unfortunately they contain an enormous amount of alcohol which is very aging. It's what makes their formula blend in so well.

[@TheSugarVoice]

you're confusing Japanese sunscreens with Korean ones, there are tons of alcohol free Korean sunscreens that have amazing consistency and finish, brands such as innsifree, the Saem Missha all have amazing selections of alcohol free sunscreens both mineral and chemical.

[@user-ks9yi5zx4l]

Really, sounds good. I'll have to have a look.

[@TheSugarVoice]

korean brands have TONS of mineral zinc oxide based sunscreens to choose from.

[@debleigh1249]

I found an amazing mineral sunscreen for the face. It is Walmarts own brand, equate. It comes in a round tub 1oz, and it is SPF 50. It goes on clear and smooth, and works great with foundation. Best part, the price was $3.98! Thought this might be one you want to try!

[@shellabella8625]

The things you make me do, Angie!! Who the hell spends 50. on a little tube of sunscreen?! 🙋🏻😜

[@wwaxwork]

People that like good sunscreen?

[@sassydoe9407]

Shelly Angulo Don't get suckered in😋 The sunscreen in my foundation and powder are sufficient! If really out in the sun hard, I use a good economical sensitive skin sunscreen.

[@sassydoe9407]

wwaxwork Good sunscreens are subjective😊

[@naukana2]

sassy doe unless u apply 1/4 teaspoon of your foundation then yes it's sufficient, but I'm sure that would make your face looks super cakey. Recommended use for foundation is at least 1/4 tsp for the spf to be effective

[@sassydoe9407]

Artist N Soul Oh it's sufficient, because the proof is in the pudding..I know it works for me. Marketing trends come and go😋

[@laurakcastillo]

Came to KZbin to find a review on a sunscreen I found on Ultas website and oh my gosh I am so grateful for your video. You're so thorough but you don't drag it out. Awesome job and thanks for the awesome reviews!

[@08Stella]

2,5 minutes in and I can't stop laughing..... Hahaha! My god, you so funny. :D I only use one sunscreen, why do we need so many actually? I use a Dutch brand SPF from a famous dermatologist here, Dr. Jetske Ultee. Intensely moisturizing. Love her products. On the body I use Australian Gold (with Instant Bronzer) for years. Non-sticky and it gives a lovely healthy sheen/glow, no glitters and not oily. The best! X

[@monicaclasener7942]

Stella Johnson Hi, i'm using the one of Jetske Ultee too. She has a non profit one, which is cheap and fine but the more expensive with anti oxidants is better under foundation. Read her blog (again, because i'm certain you do :) ) and you'll see how much you actually need for good protection, and you'll see it's quite a lot!!! Have a good weekend!

[@08Stella]

How do you know I don't have "the more expensive" one? And how do you know I don't use a "lot". Haha. I actually have both but I use the more liquid-y one because I already put on the OLAY Daycream (with SPF 30) first. Top it off with the 'Smeer je in' and in 10 minutes I have the most hydrated, relaxed skin to work with as a canvas for make-up. Slightly tacky. Love it!!! x

[@monicaclasener7942]

Stella Johnson Hi Stella, i didn't mean to offend you in any way, sorry if you took it that way. Just commenting on the amount of sunscreen you need. I'm sure you get it right. Have a nice day :) !

[@08Stella]

Oh, I'm never offended, darling. It's the tone how you read my text, determines whether I sound offended (to you) or not. Haha. I just (genuinely) asked how you assumed which one I had. I am actually happy most of the time. Especially when I'm here... :D I thought we were just talking back and forth. xx

[@themcavoyzoo720]

Angie ~ You're an angel! I went out and bought two of the Australian Gold Mineral Sunscreens today (Ulta sale). I ran home and immediately had to slather my face in it! So far so good. I haven't tried my foundation over it yet, but I suspect it will. Thanks so much for being our guinea pig!

[@katemcmullen6514]

Holly cow, why are you using so much. My fave sunscreen is either drunk elephant or Paula's choice. Light weight and mineral.

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

You need 1/4 teaspoon of sunscreen for your face + neck to get the spf on the label. Most people use 1/2 to 1/4 of that amount so you're changing your spf 30 to an spf 15 or spf 7.

[@gayestallings5194]

Kate McMullen that was my thought too! Thanks for answering Angie

[@08Stella]

Hahaha... I agree, it was an insane amount... one quarter of a TEA spoon, Ang', yes, but you're using more like 1/4 of a dining (soup) spoon. I can't help but laugh because we know we know.. you stand firmly for SPF!! :D So funny! x

[@everglade93]

It looked like she was using 1/4 teaspoon to me! Measure it out next time, it's more than you'd think!

[@08Stella]

Ahahaha... the next video is going to be on math. I can see it coming, knowing Ang'... HAHA. I'm cracking up now. Yes, yes, we all had it measured out once, haven't we and yes it is always more than we think, but there is still a difference between a "lot" and too much. Haha. Now, let us get a spoon! :D LOL! xx Ps. Just kidding...being happy... she already has one video on measuring out sunscreen. x

[@shopppguril]

Angie you are the sole reason I have started wearing sunscreen since your first mineral sunscreen video, since then I have used hydropeptide and Elta md based on your recommendation and I just wanted to let you know I really appreciate all your videos and these in particular are life changing!

[@jenniferamour6133]

I bought the Australian Gold on your recommendation. I have been looking for a good sunscreen to wear under makeup that won't make me shiny. This works great and the price is awesome. Thanks for all of the work you put into researching products for your viewers 💜

[@MirandaSavage29]

I am so thrilled about the new affordable winner! Thank you for all you do!

[@jiggsawjazz]

I absolutely love your scientific approach to reviewing products... Finally a channel we can trust! Keep up the amazing work. I'm hooked! :)

[@SurcieD]

I bought the Australian Gold Botanical SPF 50 tinted face sunscreen per Angie's recommendation, and I love it! I do have dry skin but it doesn't dry me out enough to be a problem. In fact, it makes my foundation look better, as if Im using a primer. Plus, it doesn't whiten the face, nor does it creep into your eyes! To me, it's the best face sunscreen ever.

[@melissaoliva6206]

OMG! This is the kind of videos that I was looking for. I hate when KZbinrs don't try on the products they are talking about. Your are great great please keep it up!

[@TheCandlekane]

Mad Hippie is my favorite sunscreen. It is one of the ONLY suncreens that never break me out or cause irritation. Every other one I have tried including ones for sensitive skin, break my skin out in rashes or bubbles. But I noticed yours is different. Mine comes in a squeezy tube, yours was in a round pump container. They may have changed the formula since you used it because mine doesn't dry up and flake at all! It is extremely moisturizing, not greasy and it smells like flowers.

[@athena12373]

Thank you so much for this very thorough review. You introduced me to the Hydropeptide solar defense SPF 30 and I have been using it religiously. It is definitely my favorite face sunscreen and feels great on the skin. It does not break me out, and wears great under my makeup (my holy Grail foundation is also Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet). When I run out of my current tube, I will have to check out the new favorite. I trust you 😘

[@Pamela_Marie]

Awesome! I am 56 and cannot wear any chemical sunscreens. I have mild rosacea and sensitive skin. I like Kiehls 50 spf tinted mineral sunscreen. Thanks for the great video!

[@amberhennessey3838]

Absolutely love your videos. Woman over 40 definitely need different products and have different needs.The time you take to help us ladies is beyond appreciated . Because of you I have a skincare/ makeup routine I'm so happy with . 👍🤗

[@marjan3010]

Extremely helpful Angie. Thank you so much. For the price point and looking so great under make up, this sun screen is a winner. You look so beautiful in this video.

[@ruthelator]

Hands-down best face sunscreen for my skin (oily in summer and combination in winter) is Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream Moisturizer with SPF 30 Broad Spectrum. It is non-greasy, non-shiny, and great under makeup.

[@user-wk7ou2my7f]

I really appreciate you actually showing us you applying the sunscreen in this video. That really, really helps me out.

[@emmascott2889]

Honest to goodness, I cannot fathom that you're in your 50s. You literally look more beautiful with each video. I've been waiting for your sunscreen review!!

[@AndreaStenberg]

I just started using Cliniderm. Goes on beautifully, works better than my primer under liquid foundation and doesn't irritate my skin. It's spf 45. I don't know if you can get it outside of Canada but it's my new holy grail.

[@carolinebloom2425]

The Australian Gold is the bomb! I live in Florida and have oily skin. This sunscreen works so well under my makeup. Your comments were so on point.👍🏻 Thank you for doing all the leg work and finding the best practical products for anti aging 💜

[@mcckie31]

Omg Angie I ran to ulta and bought this sunscreen. So far its the best sunscreen. Crossing my fingers. Thank you so much

[@Kattmandu19]

So informative! I have been looking for a natural environment friendly facial sunscreen for everyday use since ended up having a skin cancer spot surgically removed last month. At 40, I wish I had listened years ago about using sunscreen every day. Seems like the product choices have become so much better in the last 5-10 years. Glad you did the hard work for us by weeding out the bad ones! Thanks for posting this review. You just got another subscriber! 💛☀

[@billymac00]

Saw the Good Housekeeping article on Angie today and it mentioned sunscreen. I was proud to be a subscriber.

[@sallywingles9057]

I understand Angie cannot use chemical sunscreens, but for her viewers that can... I have had the best luck with Proactivs Oil Free SPF 15 and their new MD line SPF 30. I can wear it under literally any foundation, and because it is oil free it somewhat even works pretty good as a primer! I would hate to see some of you overlook it. It does not contain benzoyl peroxide either :)

[@Zuiliong]

I purchased the Australian one , non tinted, and I am loving it. I'm 41 y/o with combo oily skin and I agree it seats very well on my skin. Thank you for your videos and recommendations! Keep making videos and thank you for making me NOT look my age. LOL

[@aranyhaju]

Thank you for the super detailed and thus very helpful video!I have just found your channel, and after watching some of your videos I immediately subscribed. Many review videos out there are often too general or vague for me, but the amount of information and level of detail your reviews and descriptions contain left me with no questions. This is exactly what I am looking for in these types of videos. And all this from someone who is sympathetic, and in a style that is pleasant to listen to/watch :)

[@lydiadewberry4699]

Awesome video! Super, fantastic description box. It's very detailed and I love that you list the makeup that you are wearing in this video. I know the description box is time consuming and I really appreciate it.

[@abbykennedy4296]

Thank you so much for these videos Angie! I live in Hawaii and don't leave the house without sunscreen, and it's so hard to find a cruelty free mineral-based sunscreen that actually feels decent on its own and can be worn under make up. After watching your previous videos, I was worried that one doesn't exist. Now I can't wait to try the Australian Gold!

[@sallywingles9057]

UPDATE: Angie!!! My Ulta shipment just arrived and I tried the Australian Gold SPF and I L O V E it! It really looks great alone! It is so smooth, and the scent is soooooo faint! Thanks so much for sharing your find with us! ..... Thanks Angie! I just purchased the Australian Gold Botanical Sunscreen X2. Ulta is having a sale buy one get the other 50% off, plus the $3.50 coupon AND used some of my points towards the purchase. I am looking forward to trying it out because I use the same foundation as you. I always check to see if you have any new videos because I really look forward to seeing them. Thanks again for all you do for us!

[@queens6583]

Bought the Australian Gold sunscreen and absolutely love it! Goes on and feels like a dream, plus my makeup went on top flawlessly. Thank you Angie for the great recommendation.

[@delainecoddington6691]

Angie you have just saved me a ton of money and frustration! Thank you so much all the time and effort and money you put into these testing videos. I take your advice seriously and have tried many of the products you recommend. Yesterday I ordered the hydropeptide solar defense SPF 50, and today I will also order the Australian Gold Botanical tinted SPF 50. I can't wait to try them for myself especially over my Chanel Perfection Lumiere velvet foundation you also recommended ( my favorite). You work hard to make us all look good!! Thanks again!!
