My Favorite Sunscreens! Dermatologists Recommendations from Beauty of Joseon, NATURIUM, & More

[@emilyschlegelmilch4212]

Love the sunscreen talk!! Would love to see a mineral round up please! I’m very sensitive to chemical filters. My skin gets super itchy and my eyes cannot handle those filters around them. Thanks so much!!

[@jennifern6480]

Same! I tried the Beauty of Joseon hoping I could tolerate the "new generation" chemical sunscreens. It was fabulous for the first 3 days! Day 4 it burned a bit when I applied it. Day 5, my face turned bright red as soon as I put it on. Lesson learned. Mineral only for me 😕

[@jeanettemccullough1573]

@@jennifern6480 Oh no! I just ordered the Beauty of Joseon :( I sure hope I don't have any reactions. I can't do mineral sunscreens there is something in them that makes me want to wash my face and it bugs me until I do. I love Revision Intellishade Original but it is so expensive. I keep hunting for something more affordable the works for me.

[@sulakaricats]

I have similar concerns with chemical sunscreens and my dermatologist has said just stick to mineral I’m in Australia and we have some fabulous sunscreens. My favourite daily go to is Naked Sundays Collagen Mineral Glow. Ultra Violet Lean screen and the new Bondi Sands Mineral Sunscreens are lovely.

[@jennifern6480]

@@jeanettemccullough1573 I hope the Joseon works for you! I think the Revision is one of the few I haven't yet tried. I have several mineral sunscreens I like, but nothing I love.

[@DrSamEllis]

I’ll definitely make a video dedicated to all-mineral SPFs!

[@lyndamoorhead]

Another vote for mineral sunscreen faves, please. Specifically cosmetically elegant, SPF50+ with wildly high UVA protection, reef safe, sensitive eye safe, for combo dehydrated skin, that replace the need for a separate moisturiser, perform beautifully under makeup or alone, without pilling or creating flaky areas where there were none before… Don’t ask for much, do I 😅

[@Emogurlmushroomcinnamoroll]

You would probably have better luck seeing pigs fly before you see this kind of mineral sunscreen you requested LoL I have been searching years for a mineral sunscreen with all these attributes and still no luck LoL

[@hannahsurbaugh9180]

Suggest undefined R&R sun serum spf 50, I pick it up at target.

[@Emogurlmushroomcinnamoroll]

​@@hannahsurbaugh9180 thanks I've tried the r and r sunscreen but it irritated my eyes and left a greasy residue that didn't dry down.i was hoping it would work for me but it didn't.

[@lyndamoorhead]

@@hannahsurbaugh9180 It looks like The Dream! I was all set to buy after seeing it recommended by some of my skintype twins but unfortunately the tint is too dark for me, it’d be great if they expanded the shade range🤞

[@lyndamoorhead]

@@Emogurlmushroomcinnamoroll Oh my goodness, tell me about it! I feel like I could fill a truck with the ones I have that have been tried, been tested, and found wanting 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@AutumnElaine]

*For body, I reccomend Verdio waterproof SPF.* FYI, the Derma B feels great, but the FRAGRANCE IS *STRONG..* nothing mild about it. Gives me a migraine & nausea even if I only put it on my lower legs. I may be a little bit sensitive, but not wildly so. Its just *very* strong. 13:50

[@isabelab6851]

Love the Korean sunscreens. Their chemical sunscreens do not irritate my skin like the US based ones do. I would love to get the mineral recommendations. I use them when my rosacea flares up

[@mandiwolfe6631]

​@Trinity M not sure if you've tried them already, but at Target both Black Girl Sunscreen and Vanicream have mineral sunscreens that do not leave a white cast. They're very good. I prefer the first if wearing makeup over it and the second if it's a no makeup day.

Would love to see a video on mineral sunscreens next. And thanks for including the water resistant aspect for us runners 😊. My favorite currently is the La Roche Posay UVMune 400, but I have to import it since it’s not sold in the US. Going to try the tinted version of that next if I can get my hands on it!

[@lucydeboxer2565]

I have been a "lighter than air" fan since it came out. Currently, Black Girl Kids sunscreen is what I use for travel. At 3 oz, not fragrance and it feels like the lighter than air sunscreen when applied, it's a real winner that fits in my liquids bag.

does light as air leave a white cast?

YES! Please do a mineral sunscreen round up for face and body! Love your videos. Very informative and super helpful. I would also love a recommendation for sports like surfing where you are in the water and sun for a long time, but it does not really matter how your face looks but you just want super good protection.

[@4244NaturalBridge]

You are my go-to Dermatologist. I have told my male friends about you, especially surfers and lap pool participants. You give such good information on sunscreens. Thank you very much from Marin County, CA.

[@leneskov5184]

You should absolutely try the Mad about skin sunscreen Spf 50 ++++ - all the new filters and hydrating, so Oily-skinned people can skip the moisturiser. So nice even under make up - it became my new favourite over the BOJ sunscreen, which I found a bit drying.

[@leachville3001]

2nd MAS Sunscreen. Its thick but very moisturising. I also like that the formula is made to be applied twice a day not like others who need it done every 2/24.

For european people, “Aqua fusion” spf 50 from Isdin it’s gorgeous! Light weight, great under makeup, super manageable texture during the application, hydrating but not sticky for sensitive/combination skin. Holy Grail for me! ☺️

Is it fragranced? I’ve heard lots of the isdin products are

[@manpreetkj3]

I’d love to see a video from you on when to dispose of various cosmetic products (eye shadows, lip gloss/lipsticks, bronzers, blush, etc.) and the risks of using old products. Lots of content on that but little of it is from certified practitioners such as yourself.

I like Eucerin Advanced Hydration Sunscreen Lotion - SPF 50 , doesn't leave a white cast and is less than $15.00. Also hydrating for mature skin, so no moisturizer needed on face

I was skeptical of this one at first as I never tried a gel before, but omg, I am in love 😍 My skin tends to be on the drier side and this makes my skin so glowy and works great under makeup.

Been using the skin aqua (blue bottle) for many years now. This sunscreen doesn’t sting my eyes, doesn’t break me out, and looks good on the skin. It has a dewy look, which I like. From time to time I buy and try other brands because it’s fun, but I just always end up wasting money because I cannot tolerate it and I will stop using it. There has been no other sunscreen to beat this one yet.
