Trying 13 Mineral Sunscreens in 13 Mins on Darker Skin

[@MosiJae]

I went all day and no one told me I had a gray ashy Casper like haze on my entire face. I got home that evening and just laughed.

[@Malalalaika]

She not lying about the summer fridays sunscreen, I haven’t finished my bottle yet cause I can’t stand the slight chalky feel on my skin. Even snail mucin and a moisturizer can’t fix that chalky feel.

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

Ughhhhh

[@SheReaDelSol]

You always doing the skin god’s work. Appreciate you ❤

[@MissMarshel]

This is why I stick with the Olay Mineral sunscreen spf 30. You recommended that product 5-11 years ago, and it’s still an effective product for me. Thanks you testing out all those products. You’ve saved me a lot of time and money 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@jennalud4748]

That one leaves me ashy!!

[@ShefortheJeeps]

It’s all I use! Love it!

Is that one being discontinued?

[@cocoarose9990]

I LOVE Tower 28. I put on a chemical sunscreen, let it set for 20 minutes than put a finger length amount of the Tower 28 in topanga and it is stunning and not oily. Finish is satin.

[@voicedbird]

I gave up on mineral sunscreens a long time ago, just here because I love all your videos!

[@juhnetmickerdy]

Same 😂

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

Awww thanks, y’all! 🥹

[@DebbieD7777]

I use cvs 50spf mineral sunscreen I really like it a little white cast, but it goes away in a few minutes it works very well under makeup

[@jerjo7824]

Black people don't need sunscreen this woman is delusional

[@SheReaDelSol]

Oh that Tower 28 was BOMBBBBBB on you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

Thank you!!!

[@mswtaz94]

I tried sooo many mineral sunscreens. If they didn’t leave a cast, they gave the glazed donut effect. I finally settled on CoTZ when I’m just going to the gym (too shiny) or Super Goop Mineral Matte. The Super Goop is perfect so I wear it when I wear makeup or don’t want that greasy face.

[@kameelaheverglow]

I live in Portugal where the sun is always beaming. The Ilia Skin Tint is good, but it makes me look too red. I actually had to wear two sunscreens because The Ordinary Mineral sunscreen had too much of a white cast, so I'd wear a thin layer of Ilia over it. Now, I just wear Dr. V's Inzincable Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50. It does go on with a white/purplish cast, but for me, it dries clear. I'm looking for a similar one now, as hers is pricey.

[@Valencia112]

Because we are foundation shade twins I’m gonna check out the tower 28 soon

[@PKHOKIE11]

I purchased tower 28 for a recent vacation and I love it

[@SDot2385]

I love the Summer Fridays. For me the application is smooth and the finish is gorgeous. No cast once it absorbs and that takes very little time.

[@Talisa3636]

It’s my go to in the summer!!!! ❤

[@myname-gf7lt]

i'd been eyeing that one for a LONG time but i really don't like greasy sunscreens, it is greasy or oily for y'all?

[@nancykerrigan]

You back with the mineral sunscreens reviews! Merry Christmas to me and to all! Lol. Edit: I'm currently using the Eltamd clear one after I stocked up on them in the summer but haven't used until recently. I like it as it has little to no cast.

[@hrhsophiathefirst4060]

I thought about trying the Tower 28 but then I just went right back to my Trader Joe's SPF 40 for 8.99 that acts like a primer and no worries about cast and at that price I am covered!

[@marstomajormiracle5603]

wait it’s mineral???

[@96unique2]

I've decided my new favourite kind of sunscreen is the hybrid type! Less chance of a white cast but still getting the benefits of both! You've done a few reviews in the past, any chance you'll do an update video on new hybrid sunscreens

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

heyyy! likely down the line if there are enough of them for a video :) any particular ones in mind?

[@Ally_416_Chic]

The only mineral sunscreen that I use is Olay Regenerist Mineral sunscreen SPF 30. I tried a few others and have yet to find one comparable to Olay.

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

Yessss that Olay is niiiiice

[@Ally_416_Chic]

[@msjones5523]

Same here, but can be oily especially under makeup

​@@styleandbeautydoctor It leaves a ghostly cast on me! What am I doing wrong?

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

@@jennalud4748 might be what you're using before it---some products can make the zinc in mineral sunscreens more zinc-y lol. Or maybe you need to let your layer before your sunscreen completely dry first

[@SweetNsourSugar118]

I loved how quick and detailed this was. Love love love!

[@SWAGGOUTLIPPRODUCTS]

I use the tower 28 and have it in multiple shades so I can kinda use em to bronze/ highlight the natural shadows in my face overall it’s amazing!

[@db-gb5xi]

I wear chemical sunscreens (currently using LRP double repair SPF 30) but I'm not averse to trying a mineral one. I was looking at the Olay one you've mentioned before but reading the reviews I was hesitant so I went and got the Black Girl Sunscreen Kids SPF 50. I was also looking at the BGS hybrid one but I'm not a fan of lavender oil.

[@t_ylr]

I don't mind the Olay one personally but I definitely have to use it on top of a moisturizer. 95% of chemical sunscreens burn my eyes and the one's that don't are usually super expensive so it's been a struggle lmao. I did recently tho I did find the Nivea Super Water Gel and that one does not burn my eyes. At the end of the day I will start to feel it around my eyes but it doesn't hurt so a win is a win lol.

[@iamjholloway]

… I think I would give Summer Friday a try one day. Thanks for sharing 💕

[@Luvanmusiq]

It’s my fave ever. All the others didn’t work for my Fitz V skin 😔

[@AdeolaAsh]

I appreciate these testing videos so much, thank you

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

My pleasure!

[@daniellabirch2600]

Thanks for trying that new Sun Bum Daily Mineral Moisturizing Sunscreen! I saw that they came out with that and it definitely piqued my interest but since their other mineral sunscreens have been super casty in the past, I was a little nervous to spend money on them again. After watching this, I might have to give that one a try. I also agree that sometimes the mineral sunscreen makers try to add emollients to make their sunscreens more moisturizing which I appreciate, but depending on what they use, it can make the formula super thick and difficult to apply, which as you say is not good for sensitive skin, and if you're using mineral sunscreen, there's a strong likelihood that you have sensitive skin. Thanks again for doing another round of these! Summer is right around the corner and this is the time of year where I tend to build up my sunscreen arsenal!

[@1naturalbeauty]

I’m a huge fan of the Tower 28 tinted sunscreen! I use the same shade.

[@mimicallsit7675]

Love the Relevant, use it daily!

[@fgraham8712]

I appreciate this. I've tried to wear chemical sunscreens but they just don't work for me. They make my skin burn and my eyes sting. Even though I'm pretty much translucent I still get a cast with alot of mineral sunscreens. I have tricks that help alot they are just time consuming. I dont wear foundation so I can't cover it up with that. If I don't want to look like a lobster after being in the sun for 5 mins I have to wear something though.

[@kittykattastegood]

I'm not sure if you featured Jack black sunscreen. It's a "man" product but I've been using for years and it's decent for darker skin just need to take your time with it.

[@AR-md1zq]

Thank you for taking the time to review mineral sunscreens! Is the tower 28 heavy when you use the right amount? I can’t use chemical on my face and I’m still on the search for a cosmetically elegant one

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

If you’re not used to wearing that much makeup, probably. And then you have to get your ears and neck. Maybe ease your way into it

[@TheJoker718]

I’m definitely going to try the Tower28 sunscreen. Thanks!!

[@linzeeb4]

Mineral spfs do not typically agree with my dry sensitive skin, eyes, or melanin but your reviews are great so I always watch anyway 🤩

[@Chiquitaezenwa]

Funny how are exact opposites. Chemical sunscreen above spf15 burns me so bad. I'm still looking for a mineral sunscreen that don't look terrible

[@linzeeb4]

@@Chiquitaezenwa yeah it definitely just depends on the person and the formulas! While zinc can be somewhat astringent/ dehydrating, I've had some success with zinc only mineral spfs, titanium dioxide tends to be too dehydrating and irritating for me. That said, the only mineral spf in my regular rotation is the Undefined Beauty Sun Serum. It's spf 50, quite fluid and elegant for a mineral spf, Black owned, fragrance, alcohol and silicone free and available at Target. It's tinted, so once it settles in the cast isn't noticeable on me, and uses zinc as it's filter.

[@marstomajormiracle5603]

loooove when you do these videos, maybe it’s just me but it was a bit hard to tell the difference with the lighting used when applying the sunscreens. it might help to use the lighting that you used when giving the voiceovers instead? thanks for these videos!!! God bless & Merry Christmas ❤❤❤

[@nonyabizness5453]

Interesting u thought the Ilia and dr.jart tinted sunscreens were grey on you. Were close in complexion but both of them were warm on me and read ORANGE!!! which I hate. So I returned.

Interested in the Sun Bum, Tula & Tower 28!

[@silliwtd]

My gripe with most sunscreens is why the heck does it cost more than $20 and can't even give an even 2oz of product?!

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

yeah---it's annoying that the mineral ones can be up there in price---I do have videos with some that are less than $20. If you don't mind using chemical, you can definitely find a lot that are under $20.

[@silliwtd]

@@styleandbeautydoctor your videos put me on those for sure! I’m just perplexed by that standard

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

@@silliwtd same-I need an explanation lol. Maybe the processing of the zinc and titanium dioxide is costly? But thankfully some sunscreens can be used toward FSA/HSA

[@daniellabirch2600]

Also, a side note, are there any youtubers who do men's sunscreen videos? Thank god, my husband's skin is not as sensitive as mine so he has more options but his skin definitely responds to thick heavy formulas. We finally found a sunscreen that works for him (Jaxon Lane Rain or Shine) but damn is it expensive! I would love to find something cheaper to supplement it with.

[@kweenofdasouf1632]

This channel seems to be more higher end products but Urban RX shine block spf 30 is wonderful. Its ll% zinc oxide and it’s often on sale at Ultra. I’ve been using it for over a year since I use retinoids and at times hydroquinone. I didn’t realize mineral sunscreens were such a challenge. I’ve never had a problem with my urban rx sunscreen. Maybe you will try it. I’m 400 Fenty ❤️

[@tovah7173]

I have looked at three of your videos and I still can't tell which mineral sunscreens you think are the best top five.... I wish you would just say them and why.

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

There are no "best top five" though. I try out a ton of mineral sunscreens each year and then the ones that actually look good on darker skin like mine are highlighted in the best I've tried. But even amongst those, YOU still have to figure out which ones are best for YOUR routine. Some are tinted, some are very moisturizing with a dewy finish, some are better for oily skin ad have a matte finish, some work best on their own, some may work better with a moisturizer applied first, etc. Even if I did make an attempt to have a "best top five" list, it would be mostly products that work on MY skin---and then who is that helping? in a nutshell: I provide you guys with reviews on what the products feel and look like, how they perform, etc. but you have to take that and apply it to your routine.

[@tovah7173]

@The Style and Beauty Doctor Most of us are looking for the ones that leave the least white cast - The ones that are undetectable ..... We know we have to consider our skin types - And you do a great job of telling us the moisture level. Your skin tone is a beautiful midrange for black women to use as a gauge - And since you have access to the products - It would be very helpful and awesome to have a top three list of the least undetectable sunscreens listed by price range so all women can easily research and narrow down to one or two of them to try according to her budget. Shalom

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

@@tovah7173 I think you might have missed in this video where I referenced my two “best mineral sunscreens I’ve tried so far” videos plus a blog post with a running tab of best mineral sunscreens I’ve tried based on cast. Other than all of that, I cannot do a “top 3” or whatever number given what I said in my previous reply. You can use those videos (or even just the blog post for a quick reference) to decide which ones to choose from there.

Yours are all so expensive. I get Skin Aqua for about $12 and it leaves very little cast on my brown skin, and has both chemical and mineral sunblocks in it.

I prefer thinner products on my face.

I'm trying to get away from using chemicals in body care every way possible..... Definitely need a mineral, non-chemical one.

[@linzeeb4]

Mineral/physical sunscreens are also chemicals, use many of the same synthetic chemicals as organic/chemical sunscreens, and aren't safer for your body than organic/chemical sunscreens. The only difference is whether the ingredient providing the protection is a mineral (zinc or titanium dioxide) treated with other chemicals or the ingredient providing the protection is a synthetic chemical filter. Whichever you use you'll be much safer than going without! Even water is chemicals. 😊

[@cierral1170]

For someone with oily skin, are chemical sunscreens better than mineral sunscreens? Also, do you have any affordable sunscreens recommendations (like less than $30) if possible?

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

It depends on the formula-some chemical sunscreens are better for dry skin, some better for oily skin. Many mineral sunscreens though can tend to be a bit more moisturizing but that doesn’t mean you can’t use it if you have oily skin-perhaps if you get colder seasons you can wear them then. You can check the blog post linked in the description for additional options. I’ve been reviewing mineral sunscreens for at least 2 years now

[@abundance6484]

I like Bioassance. How about you?

[@kishaanderson2947]

I don't know. I'm so curious about Tula, but the ingredients list is so long!!! It just turns me off. I would try Tower's mineral sunscreen. I just think the majority of mineral sunscreens on me look ashy or just take away from my natural glow.

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

I wouldn’t necessarily be alarmed at a long ingredient list. Sometimes it’s necessary to add things to make the product more cosmetically elegant so it looks and spreads nicer on the skin.
