Elta MD is a super great sunscreen brand. Many celebrities use it including the kardashians, hailey Bieber, and many other super models. While keeping you safe from the sun, it works to kill off your stubborn acne!

[@SincerelyMissAsh]

Yes!! It's truly an amazing brand I use it almost everyday🤗🤗

Love all these mineral sunscreens. I find the chemical sunscreens make my face burn. My face has become more sensitive now that I use retinal or retina. Great video!

[@SincerelyMissAsh]

Thanks so much! You are right about chemical sunscreens, I find my face burns too sometimes!!

[@Cvoor]

@@SincerelyMissAsh Your right about that, since I've been using retinol my face burns, never did before when I used my chemical sunscreen, neutrogena dry touch

[@yvettesuburban6397]

I love both Australian Gold and Elta MD. AG is more for oily skin since it does dry down pretty quickly and mattifies, but could be too drying for those with dry skin. The Elta MD is great, but much more expensive than the AG but is not as drying. Another great option for those who have drier skin is DRMTLGY Broad Spectrum SPF 45 tinted and the newer CeraVe Tinted sunscreens are less $$ than Elta MD and work great!

[@user-dp8vt9gt1b]

How long for you to finish the elta md tinted one?

My Elta Md clear was pilling too and it drove me crazy!! It took me some time too to figure it out, it didn’t go well with my niacinamide serum. I’m glad to know I wasn’t the only one experiencing this!

Yes I find that too sometimes with the Australian Gold. It's a great SPF but if you have dry skin to begin with it can make your skin look more dry.

I LOVE the Australian gold my only problem with it is it will make my under eyes crease but lately I've been tapping it out while it dries under the eye and it seems to be fine

My Elta MD UV clear used to peel on my face as well but what I started doing was after I put on my moisturizer I will put on Squalane oil just a little bit and I will let my face sit for about 20 minutes to let everything soak in and the Squalane oil does something to the products underneath I don’t really know what LOL but it made that sunscreen stop piling and actually made it look more sheer on my face and I’m Fitz Patrick six

With the elta uv clear tint version I started exfoliating with CeraVe sa cleanser in the am before applying spf & it helped with the peeling process for me! And I regularly exfoliated! Guess not good enough. Huh?

[@jo7641]

The Australian Gold is great. I bought it after I watched your video. Only thing, I do have combination skin and I feel it being a little too mattifying around my nose, mouth creases, and under eyes. My foundation looks blotchy in those areas. I prefer to wear it alone. But I do love it bcuz it feels good and doesn’t break me out. Would you say the Elta Md for sensitive skin is a little more hydrating ?

[@SincerelyMissAsh]

The Australian Gold is great but it definitely can be drying. Oh yes, the EltaMD is much more hydrating for sure!!!

Hi! Just wanted to thank you for this useful review on the sunscreens. I really want to purchase the Elta MD physical sunscreen, but I live in Canada so there aren’t any Elta MD offices near me. I’m not sure where I should purchase it online, whether it be Amazon or EBay. I’m just scared that the sellers won’t sell the actual product but a copy that’s really a bad version of it. Can you please tell me the place you bought it from and where you would recommend it? Thank you so much!!!

[@mignonalverson655]

Actually a physical blocking sunscreen you can go out in the sun immediately. The chemical ones you should wait 15 minutes because it needs the sun to activate the chemicals for it to work. Chemical sunscreens need time to penetrate the skin in order for the sun to make it work. I hope that makes sense. 🤗

[@nosleep7357]

Nice review, MissAsh, I've spent a little time this morning watching your videos and since I'm in the market for another sunscreen, had to check this out. I've seen these reviewed before, but I need more than one opinion and you don't rush through things like some of the other beauty gurus. There are a couple that I like a lot but they have given into a**bad habit of editing so that it seems unnatural. They seen to want to make the video short, so they almost cut themselves off before they finish a sentence, etc. Or even in the middle of sentences as well.. I would rather hear them voice their thoughts completely. I do appreciate how thorough you are☺ The sunscreens are important bc I have a daughter who walks to work everyday, (she's a nurse, and I'm always concerned for her, but especially now). Right now, and every couple of months, they have these wild heat waves where she lives (on another continent, not In North America).. So I want her & my 3 little grandchildren to always wear sunscreen now while they are young. My daughter is still quite young too, and if she will wear SPF everyday there is no need for anyone in her generation or the very young children's generation to grow up and have wrinkled sagging skin after age 50 no reason for anyone to have to look like that ever again, since we have these perfected sunscreens. They can all be protected against the UVA rays which cause the Aging, the breakdown of collagen and so forth.. What happened with the spot on your face? Was it a benign place? I didn't catch what happened with that. I'm in the SouthEast US right on the coast. We have 7 beaches all within a 10 to 20 min drive and of course everyone has a boat, too. So sunscreens see a year round need here ( as they are every place of course) as we now know that the UVA rays are equally strong in the early morning as in the dead of winter, unlike the UVB rays which ate stronger this time of year. The UVA rays penetrate deeper. I feel it's almost a public service for you & others who have an audience, to keep talking about these SPF formulas, to prevent the cancers as well.

[@SincerelyMissAsh]

Thank you so much for you kind words!! SPF is SO important and I am always looking for new ones to try. Have you seen my latest face Sunscreen video? If not, you may want to check it out as well 🤗 kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4msg6VsprVnZ7s

[@SincerelyMissAsh]

Hey there! To be completely honest, if you have super dry skin I wouldn’t recommend the Australian Gold. It is a non greasy formula that gives a matte finish. If I find my face to be a little dry and I use the Australian Gold I do find my face feels tight and my dry areas stand out. I would recommend the Tinted Elta Md instead if you are looking for a tint but the Drunk Elephant sunscreen would be amazing for you as well!

Tip: After applying your face serums, moisturizers, or spf and before you apply your makeup, blot your face. Lets you beauty care products sit about 15 mins and then blot with makeup blot things or tissue or TP. If its 2-ply, seperate the sheets. Then put on makeup. Try it. Let me know how it works.

Hey for elta md spf 46 how many pumps do I use on my face? I cant find the answer

Hi is the australian gold one good on skin that is light with pink undertones? Also is the 4% of zinc oxide and 4% of titanium dioxide effective enough?

[@SincerelyMissAsh]

The Australian Gold has a very light tint. It doesn't give much colour pay off so it may be good for your fair skin. I have fair skin and it works great on me. Typically the higher the Zinc and Titanium the better but as long as you are applying a 1/2 teaspoon of SPF to your face you will get the full 4% of each and the full SPF 50 as well. This goes for any SPF.

[@Noelle7285]

I have and love the Australian Gold one you mentioned, but it's a little too orange for me on it's own. I was thinking about trying out the EltaMD UV Physical one next, how do you think the shade compares?

[@SincerelyMissAsh]

I would say that the Australian Gold gives a little more colour pay off on the skin vs the Tinted Elta. The Elta is lighter and has a different consistency and feels a little nicer on the skin as it’s not as mattifying as the Australian Gold.

I use RetinA too, and I also use the AUSTRALIAN GOLD as my MAKEUP, but it's really THICK after dry down, so I'm wondering since you have to reapply sunscreen every 2-3 hours for good protection, and the powder sunscreens aren't reliable for good protection, how do you re-apply sunscreen on top of it throughout the day? do you use the same sunscreen on top? or a lighter sunscreen?

[@SincerelyMissAsh]

Hey!! Ok so, if I am not wearing any other makeup on top of the Australian Gold it any Tinted SPF for that matter I will reapply the same SPF on top throughout the day! If I do use other makeup on top then it’s definitely hard to reapply so I use a spray SPF! I just discovered one recently and I am currently testing it out several ways before I do a video on it! So stay tuned🙋🏼‍♀️

@@SincerelyMissAshDr Dray says spray SPF is not reliable for protection

[@SincerelyMissAsh]

Maybe not but I believe it’s better than nothing at all.

[@MK-rd9dd]

Dr Dray says that the powder sunscreens, like Colorscience, are good for re-application (touch ups) when you have a base of regular sunscreen. For example, I use the Australian Gold, usually two layers as my foundation. During the day, I blot any excess oil and then apply the Colorscience Spf 50 to boost my sun protection back up. Also, in regards to the spray sunscreen, according to her, it is effective but you need to spray into your hand and then apply it to your skin. Misting it on is not going to provide consistent coverage.

Hi Ashley, I own the eltaMD and australian gold and both of them dont work with my vitamin C. My whole face flakes 😩. So I use La Roche-Posay mineral ultra-light tinted and just love this product but I was looking at the ingredient list last week and realised there’s no zinc in it. How can it be a mineral sunscreen if there’s no zinc?? Now I’m confused 🤨🧐🤷🏻‍♀️

[@SincerelyMissAsh]

Which EltaMD sunscreen are you using? Is it the Clear? If so, that has Niacinamide in it which makes my makeup pill. I don't seem to have a problem with the Australian Gold but you may be using different products then me that are reacting to that SPF.. I don't know a whole lot about La Roche Posay SPF as I personally don't love the sunscreen line. I have used them years ago but wasn't too excited about them. Zinc and Titanium dioxide are two specific types of minerals. Some sunscreens have both and some have just one or the other. I like to use SPF's that have both but that is my personal preference. Does this help?🤷🏼‍♀️

[@sushiegirl]

Sincerely Miss Ash thank you for your reply. I use the eltaMD spf41 tinted. Both sunscreens only flakes if i use vitamin c, specially the Ordinary since it’s a bit grainy. For the last 4 months i’ve been using the high octane (vit c) fron Platinum skin care and I get the same flaking happening. Maybe i should switch my vit c for a more liquid version 🤔

[@SincerelyMissAsh]

Ok I definitely think the gritty vitamin c is not working with your other skincare products. I can’t use a gritty vitamin c as it doesn’t work with my skincare, spf or makeup! I would suggest switching to a liquid vitamin c. I think you will have better results..

[@SincerelyMissAsh]

The Drunk Elephant Vitamin C is nice and the Summer Fridays vitamin c is also a nice consistency.

[@brandonbellino8896]

Can anyone explain to me what gives sunscreens their SPF levels? I thought the active ingredients, the titanium and zinc, are what gives it the SPF? So how is it products with super low levels of them can be super high SPF, but then there are sunscreens with over 20% zinc but they're lower SPF. Someone help, I'm confused!

[@lucyg4532]

Some companies lie. Or they add antioxidants and say it helps stop sun damage. Always go for sunscreens with higher zinc oxide levels. If it’s not at least in double digits it probably isn’t good. 20% and up is best but it usually leaves a white cast.

[@e.a.4926]

Dispersing agents, UV filter boosters, and even antioxidants can dramatically increase a sunscreen's SPF value, regardless of the concentration of zinc or titanium. That being said, I agree with the other commenter, the higher the zinc oxide the better. That's because high zinc oxide guarantees UVA protection. The SPF value only reflects UVB protection, and UVA protection is just as important, if not more important, than UVB protection. A zinc oxide concentration of around 20% usually provides very robust UVA protection.
