@Cassandra Bankson Thank you so much for creating this video ! Can't wait to see more SPF recommendations since summer is around the corner! Can you please recommend more sunscreens that are easy around the eyes that are hydrating, moisturizing, and leaves no cast? I have very sensitive eyes and find that most sunscreens makes my eye water when I apply it too close to my eyes, which ends up washing off the sunscreen. Most mineral sunscreens are easy around my eyes, but it's wayyyy to pasty. What are your thoughts on EltaMD UV Elements SPF that Dr.Dray recommended for people with more dry skin types? BTW..I tried the Isntree Hyaluronic Watery Sun Gel SPF PA 50++++ (based on your recommendation) and love it as an at home sunscreen. It's super easy around the eyes and makes my skin so dewy. I decided to give it a try out in the sun. I reapplied every two hours with the two finger rule and I noticed later that evening when I washed my face, part of my face was red. For this reason, I suspect the SPF rating might not be accurate. Or there may be a possibility that I didn't apply enough SPF on that particular area. I would love to know if you have used this sunscreen out in the sun and experienced a burn with consistent reapplication.

[@sarahroehl]

I'm very fair with dry skin. I prefer tinted sunscreens so I can get those iron oxides for extra protection. My favorite daily sunscreen is the Murad City Skin Age Defense SPF 50 PA ++++. Very light peach tint that absorbs so nicely. The cons are that it is expensive and not water resistant. I use it daily as my base layer of sunscreen then add a layer of the Cotz Face Moisture lightly tinted sunscreen SPF 35 which is less expensive and water resistant for 40 min. This ensures I don't have any skip areas. The cons for the Cotz is that it's only SPF 35 and isn't water resistant enough for outdoor activities in my opinion. For the pool, beach, running, etc I use the Australian Gold tinted mineral sunscreen SPF 50 since its water resistant for 80 min. It's too dark and drying for me for all day use but for a couple hours outside it's the best I can find at this time.

[@IncandescentLightbulb00]

I totally agree! I think that sunscreens should be like foundation with many different shades. Although I'm on the other side (super pale) I can't find a sunscreen that matches my shade either. My skin already looks like a pink miss piggy I don't need any more of that. Where we are with sunscreens rn reminds of where we were with foundation when I was a teen. The only thing I can recommend is to get a whatever tint 50spf sunscreen and mix it with your actual foundation (or a shade darker) to make custom. That will dilute the sunscreen but it will still be acceptable if you use spf 50. That's what I do - it's not perfect but what is 🤷🏼‍♀️

Is it the liquid one? I love it so much! Maybe the best drugstore mineral sunscreen I’ve ever used. (Runner-up would be Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Liquid spf 50.) Price is great too for $11. If you know the Colorescience Total Face Shield, it has exactly that feel and consistency to me. Doesn’t dry you out at all, but it doesn’t stay tacky/sticky. However, I respectfully disagree on the not having a white cast. It def leaves one - and I’m on the fair side - if you apply the full 1/4 tsp. But I just let it dry and use a bit of tinted spf over top, so the cast is not an issue for me personally. (And if you use it as a reapplying layer, it’s amazing over a tinted I apply first thing. Then, I do have no white cast.)

Hi Cassandra! Could you make a video or an insta story talking about fake tanning and skincare? In the summer, I use fake tan to achieve some color to my skin, but i feel like sometimes skincare will remove it really quickly. Would love to hear your thoughts/tips.

[@laurenletha]

I agree! I've also heard claims that self tanners are not good for the skin, but as someone who is not a skincare expert I don't understand why that is and would love to understand.

[@sreedhavaranasi2356]

Fitzpatrick 4/5 here! Started using Pipette's mineral sunscreen spf 50 at Dr. Alexis Stephen's recommendation and though it takes a few minutes and a bit of elbow grease, it does mostly dissappear into the skin! She has a video where she demos this. I love it, I do use a tinted moisturizer on top to mask any leftover cast but it is really minimal if any. It's an amazing dupe for the Biossance one!

[@msk-qp6fn]

Cassandra applying sunscreen over narration is like an ad for sunscreen 😂👍

[@johncheffy4775]

You have perpetuated the mineral myth too , a lot of Derms still do and it puzzles me as a European British Guy whom has only ever worn Organic filters . This Summer I used Altruist Sunscreen spf50 5* 4+ and just finished of BoJ Rice Relief and using Altruist whilst waiting on Biore Watery Aqua sun gel . Triasorb , UVMune400 , Tinosorb S , Uvinal A+ , Tinosorb M and so many amazing affordable quality filters

[@tyresseferguson2462]

I'm a 4/5 with dry skin and hyperpigmentation so I love the Biossance sunscreen for mineral only. Finally trying the BGS but other than that it's usually a Korean sunscreen for me such as the 11 Village Factory Hydra Sun Fluid or Daily Mild Sun Cream.

[@TheCatMomma]

Neutrogena invisible daily defense SPF 60+. Love love love this.

[@Alexacake19]

I'm verrrry fair, every tinted spf has been too dark/orange on me. Can anyone recommend the lightest tinted spf??

[@MarsSolaris]

I'm also super pale and honestly, I just go for straight up untinted stuff. The white cast actually works favorably in this case, and mildly camouflages any 'stuff' I have going on in my skin. Australian gold botanical sunscreen is amazing!

[@alexbrown9351]

MDSolarSciences Mineral Creme 50 is very, very lightly tinted. I’m a Fitzpatrick 1 or 2, and it disappears on me.

[@16SF]

I second what the other commenter said. I just use the un-tinted sunscreens. If you are Fitzpatrick I the whiteness of the product is usually non-issue. lol Pigment is added to help with the ghostly-cast on people with darker skin. It's not meant to be foundation/makeup.

[@nah_.]

Try the Neutrogena sheer zinc sunscreen

[@eobrien1]

Def the Elta uv physical. I can wear it w the full 1/4 tsp w only a tiny line of demarcation on the jaw. I call it the tinted sunscreen for fair folks. A solution if it’s still to dark is to white cast mineral spf as first layer, then go in the Uv physical to cancel it out

[@tanhaburhan03]

i like her because she doesn't waste time and gets on the topic real quick

[@vacationeyes6430]

To me, the biggest problem with mineral sunscreen is not the white cast. It simply dries my skin out so much and clogs the pores to a point my skin starts breaking out. Even the most hydrating mineral sunscreens the same effect on me.

[@OhWanya]

Same!!!

[@pirupiru3055]

Yesss make: prem! I'm using one of their sunscreens too, it's called the "daily sun fluid" (it comes in the same tube but has a light blue cap). Not only does it come in a big bottle and has a great price, it's a combination sunscreen which doesn't burn my eyes! 🙏It can leave a whitecast if you apply too much at once, so I do one thinner coat, let it sit for 20 secs and then do one more. Also I don't have to use moisturizer underneath (in the morning), it leaves my skin moisturized and glass looking. I freaking love it. FYI I'm Fitzpatricktype 3 with oily/combination skin.

[@serenamariet]

Ah i’m so early!!! Thank you for all the hard sunscreen work Cassandra!!!

[@uhohjaneoh]

So many of these sunscreens I've never heard of, most likely because I'm in Australia. I use La Roche-Posay Uvidea XL tinted UV protection BB cream in ivory. It's the only tinted sunscreen that isn't orange on my fair skin & it stays on in the Aussie heat during summer. I've been binging your videos over the past few days, mainly because I love watching you be genuinely happy & enthusiastic & your energy transfers through the screen, you lift my mood! I hope one day to be as comfortable being my authentic self in public, as you are Cassandra! 💜 I'd love to see a video on the brands La roche posay & Avene - both these brands have been lifesavers for my skin for past 20 years.

Wait the the Elta MD physical you first showed was different then the one you tested on your hand. Am I trippin? Is the Elta restore the same as the Elta physical? 🤔

[@0glynjamin0]

girl.... Epionce Daily Shield Lotion Tinted SPF 50 or SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50. both beautiful on the skin. worth the price, but now I am going to have to try some of your top mentions! thank you for all your amazing content. I am learning so much.

[@katieqbug316]

That Elta MD tinted section is confusing b/c she used a different one from the one she put a photo of. There are so many different kinds by that brand, it’s important to be consistent b/c people are going to want to go and buy these things and they’re all so very different (I have several from that brand). Hopefully the link provided is correct. 😅

[@KwapLeap]

Hi Cassandra: I’ve been watching your videos on Facebook for about a year now, and you’ve inspired me to update my routine and be more aware of what is in my routine. Right now, it’s guesswork and what works/what feels good. Even though I’m a redhead… I have skipped sunscreen for many years, and it’s really starting to show 😮 I’m here trying to find the right one without spending so much money trying to find what works… Anyway, TLDR, I hope this helps me find n affordable, no pilling, non-stinging, sunscreen that doesn’t break my foundation down! Thank you for helping educate us!

[@katherinepatrick1582]

Same here! The 'white cast' left from the sunscreen is not much lighter than my foundation 😅

[@katherinepatrick1582]

@@lacasalingadimoabit2317 Yeah! As long as the white cast isn’t Mark Zuckerburg level and sheers out a little and doesn’t look powdery on my skin the whiteness can be the tint for my skin 😂

I am also a fitzpatrick 1, my foundation shade is NW10, and the Elta MD Physical sunscreen has a tint that is invisible on my skin. The Elta MD tinted one that Cass is shown rubbing into her arm was actually the Elta MD Restore, even though she was reviewing the Elta MD Physical. The Restore has a much darker tint than the Physical.

[@lindsaylondon6489]

Hi Cassandra! Thank you for posting on Sunscreen! I have tried almost all of them out there! I was just confused about the Elta MD UV Physical clip. You were talking about UV Physical but demonstrated UV Restore. I use both, but they are very different in color and moisturizing factors. Which one do you prefer? UV Restore has squalane in it. Do you find that it clogs your pores? Thanks again for your hard work!

[@MsAntigonaki]

I am a fan of using less products during the day... any sunscreen that can double as my daily moisture is what works for me, whether is is chemical or physical.

[@astashari]

What sunscreen you use if I may ask then?

[@MsAntigonaki]

@@astashari Korres spf 50, Olay regenerist spf40, Dr Jart Every Sun Day spf 50, CeraVe spf 50, Vichy Spf 60 tinted mineral ... those are the face ones... for body I use Hawaiian tropics spf 30 or 50

[@msk-qp6fn]

Try baby sunscreens I find them less irritating and comedogenic while still being quite moisturizing (i have mild acne and eczema prone skin)

[@Es3iya]

The make p:rem was discontinued (probably didn't meet the required SPF in korean drama). And now came back as a combination sunscreen with titanium dioxide and some chemical filters. So for sure it was somewhere around SPF 30, with that white cast and watery consistency.

[@mohdkhairul5656]

Hi any links/proofs for this? I need to read more about this issue if it's true 😭

[@Es3iya]

@@mohdkhairul5656 unfortunately make p:rem didn't do the testing, they just quietly discontinued ALL of their sunscreens made a bunch of new ones. The new sunscreen in bigger bottle they have now, has titanium dioxide with uvinul a plus and some other 2 chemical UVB filters. You can see this on their official website, but also even yes style doesn't sell the old mineral sunscreen anymore. By the way, their new formulation fully mineral sunscreeen (calamine face tone up or something) was tested a couple of week backs independently and PASSED the test,. Ironically, it has double or triple the white cast compared to their previous mineral sunscreens. I still got two bottles of the old sunscreen, I will just use it when indoors or something. But i'm sure it's not SPF 50.

[@tuesdayg7030]

I've been using 50+ by La Roche Pose its a sensitive one, and its freakin brilliant imo. Leaves no cast at all and for the first time its a sunscreen that doesn't hurt my eyes.

[@dafnagode6435]

Cool! Is it mineral as well?

[@charlottemorningstar3365]

Does it work on oily skin?

[@jrmint2]

The white cast actually is protective from HEV/visible light. So it’s great for ppl who have sun hyperpigmentation or melasma. I use it on my arms and cover w foundation if needed.

[@perfectlyyoubeauty]

Bliss Blockstar and Bare Republic face tint sunscreen are my go tos. Mineral formula, affordable and no white cast!! Bare Republic even has a new gel lotion formula for the face that I’m wanting the try out. I love the spray for the body as well.

[@metzlijimenez2765]

What kind of skin do you have?

[@KristinA-xv4yk]

Things I’ve tried (in case it can help anyone): -Sephora by avasol spf 30 tinted mineral sunscreen Not even sold anymore 😂 bc it was awful. Super greasy & clumpy -Supergoop Mineral Matte Screen spf 40 Made me look dingy, but might be worth a try if you wear makeup -Supergoop mineral sheer screen spf 30 Gone through at least 3 bottles, but it’s a bit too greasy. Don’t think it’d work very well under makeup. It’s good for a yard work day. Kind of an “it’ll do” option. -Supergoop Play mineral lotion spf 30 Even greasier than the mineral sheer screen. Yea, I tried it on my face, I wanted it to work bc of the $/ounce, but naw lol -ShiSeido ultimate sun protection lotion spf 50 for sensitive skin and children Most recent purchase. It’s not greasy at all, which is great, but there def is a white cast. No amount of rubbing is gonna change that. Was gonna exchange & give their chemical formula a try, bc I do really like the consistency, but then I saw this video, so now I’m gonna try more mineral ones. -Neutrogena sheer zinc mineral sunscreen spf 50 Horrendous, don’t waste your $16. So sticky that it literally hurt to rub on.

Another physical sunscreen from K-beauty for skin that is OILY AF: Etude Sunprise Mild Airy Finish For normal/dryer skin (sadly a chemical filter but very well done imo): Etude Sunprise Mild Watery Light. I've been using those two interchangeably depending on my skin needs for yeeeeaaaars and they're AMAZING: don't break me out, the Airy one keeps my oils in check like no other, while the Watery one is amazing for dryer days. Cannot recommend either of them enough.

I think you’re showing two different Elta md sunscreens in the tinted category. You say you’re reviewing Elta md Spf 41 physical but you’re swatching the Elta md uv restore? Bit confusing!

True! I bought the spf 41 Physical thinking it would have that tint. The Physical tint is lighter than the uv restore. Im hoping I'll be happier with the uv restore!

@@lexalonso1387 oh that’s so annoying yes the Spf 41 is a lighter slightly pinker tint than the restore which leans more yellow.

[@shrekadvisoryboard]

I really like the Pipette one- it reminds me of the Drunk Elephant Umbra but slightly less greasy, higher SPF, and it’s not too light and looks and feels really nice once it’s had time to sink in... plus, it’s half the price of Umbra.
