hello friends welcome back to my channel if you're new welcome my name is christine today
we're going to be talking about some of my favorite sunscreens in my collection i broke
it down into different categories and i also took the liberty of trying them on my face
showing my two-finger rule and all of that good stuff this video took me a long time
to film because i kept forgetting to film the sunscreen application video so please
appreciate that okay thank you so much anyways without further ado let's go ahead and get
started so i broke it down into five different categories of different sunscreens first category
is mineral then we have affordable third is moisturizer sunscreen situation invisible
and then with benefits and then i also talked about my favorite sunscreen that i reach for
the most in my collection so for sunscreen to make it into my top favorites in any of
the categories it has to be invisible on the skin with no white cast it has to look good
with and without makeup so it can't pill or any of that weird stuff it has to just look
amazing on my skin regardless if i'm going to wear makeup on top or not third criteria
is that it doesn't break me out because i have such sensitive oily acne prone skin even
right now my skin is going through a little bit of a situation so i'm very picky okay
and so i have a very short and curated list of sunscreens that i'm really excited to share
with you all the number one sunscreen in my collection that i reach for the most is the
dr jart every sunday sun fluid if you have watched any of my favorites videos if you
saw my 20 20 favorites you will not be surprised by this one at all i feel like dr jart i discovered
this year and i have fallen head over heels with their skincare with their spf and i actually
have two more of their sunscreens i'm going to talk about but this is just like my most
reached for in my collection and the reason why i love it so much is it is really invisible
on the skin it blends in seamlessly it makes my skin look even better with it on and it
doesn't break me out it doesn't make my skin feel more oily at the end of the day and it's
just my ideal sunscreen and the two finger rule if you guys weren't aware it just ensures
that you apply enough sunscreen and i believe this rule was originated by a skincare esthetician
like blogger that i follow on twitter and i'll go ahead and pop her handle here but
she was the one that really popularized the two-finger rule and kind of gave it that name
it's just kind of like a shortcut to make sure that you're applying enough sunscreen
especially if a product says that it's spf 50 you have to apply enough product in order
to get the full sun protection sometimes when i'm lazy i'll just apply two strips across
my face and that make sure that i apply enough so that's just a quick little hack for you
guys but it's 39 doulas at sephora so it's not ridiculous you also don't need a whole
lot of this and i've used it like very very very often and i still have a good amount
left in here that being my favorite sunscreen of all time let's go ahead and jump into the
categories so first category is going to be mineral sunscreens my favorite mineral sunscreen
in my collection is this dr jart every sunday mineral sunscreen so this is from the same
line as the dr jar every sunday line this one is actually a chemical sunscreen and this
is a mineral sunscreen and mineral sunscreens are also known as physical spfs and these
type of sunscreens are better for people with sensitive skin the only con of mineral sunscreens
is sometimes they tend to sit on top of the skin a little bit more so they usually will
give you white cast or they're harder to blend in but if you find a really good one like
this dr jart one to me it acts just like a normal chemical sunscreen some people also
think that mineral sunscreens are like better for you because ingredients like don't absorb
into your skin or whatever i don't know how true that is but if you do have sensitive
skin i do highly recommend trying out a physical sunscreen especially if you tend to break
out whenever you try sunscreens a lot this one by dr jar is also 39 so it's the same
price as the chemical version of it it absorbs super quickly into the skin doesn't leave
any type of white cast looks good with and without makeup and it's just a really solid
mineral sunscreen and it is like half the size of my blue bottle one but i think mineral
sunscreens are just a little bit harder to formulate so that is why you kind of have
that like price difference also a rule of thumb unless the sunscreen brand specifically
says that it's a mineral or physical sunscreen it's most likely not another mineral sunscreen
that i loved is this mirad city skin age defense spf 50.
i actually had no idea this was a mineral sunscreen because it really applies just like
a chemical sunscreen it really sinks into the skin and is undetectable it blends really
well and i believe this contains vitamin c as well so it does have some like extra benefits
i will say between the two of these this one is just a little bit more hydrating so if
you're more on the dry skin side i think you will really enjoy this the mirrored one is
68 dwellers so it's almost two times the price of the dr jart one but if you really like
mirad as a brand i really really enjoy the sunscreen another mineral sunscreen i love
but i forgot to do an application video of it is this first aid beauty weightless liquid
mineral sunscreen spf 30. this is just a really good mineral sunscreen actually did a couple
of tiki talks for them so maybe i'll pop one of those on the screen but this is just a
really good everyday mineral sunscreen brandon has tried it and he really likes it so again
if you or your man's has really sensitive skin i highly recommend trying out a mineral
sunscreen i love frisbee beauty as a brand just because they have really good products
that cater towards more sensitive skin people they don't contain fragrance or any of that
stuff so i really really enjoy this one next category is affordable sunscreens and both
of these are act chemical sunscreens like i said mineral sunscreens can be a little
bit more difficult to formulate and so they can be a little bit more expensive so a lot
of the times the sunscreens that you see at drugstores will most likely be chemical sunscreen
it's not always true so just make sure you read the label both of these are chemical
sunscreens but i do really enjoy them so first one here is the neutrogena hydro boost spf
50 and this one is ultra hydrating it's only 10 dwellers which is a great bang for your
buck and especially if you want to save a little bit of monies this is a great moisturizer
spf and i was reaching for this a lot just because it does make my skin look incredible
the only thing is this is the hydro boost line if you have oily skin like i do and you
used a two finger rule for this you will find it to be ultra ultra hydrating so on hot days
or on days where i feel like my skin is like hydrated enough i don't reach for this just
because sometimes it can be too much for me but if you have dry or oily skin and you just
struggle with having moisture i think you'll absolutely adore this oily skin girls i think
you'll like the innisfree one a little bit more this one is spf 36 so it doesn't have
quite as much as the neutrogena one but this is actually more of a like sunscreen it doesn't
contain moisturizer or anything else in it like the neutrogena does so this one doesn't
make my skin look super greasy or oily and i can reach for this every single day innisfree
is also really affordable i believe they're a cream beauty brand but this one is only
15 dwellers so whenever someone is asking me for an affordable spf recommendation i
almost always recommend the innisfree one next category is moisturizer spf combo so
neutrogena one would have fallen into this category but it was affordable so i wanted
to put it in there but one that i've been reaching for a lot is this polish choice youth
extending daily hydrating fluid this is spf 50. by the way i wear spf every single day
and you need to it protects your skin it prevents you from getting any dark spots or any areas
where pimples previously were so it just really helps my skin to like bounce back a lot quicker
so on days where i don't leave the house i wear spf 30 every single day and then on days
where i'm planning to like go outside i'll wear spf 50 or more so this polished choice
one i've been reaching for a lot just because it is spf 50 but this one actually is so hydrating
but not too much for my oily skin it just has a really good like watery consistency
another good thing about like trying on these spfs for this video it kind of gave me like
a reminder of the consistency and texture of all these different sunscreens so i just
have found myself reaching for this a lot because it is the perfect moisturizer and
spf combo especially for my morning workouts when i'm just like running out the door i
will cleanse tone and just apply this because it is a moisturizer and spf duo so always
make sure i apply the two-finger rule and it just sinks in so quickly into my skin doesn't
leave any white cast and i've just been reaching for this one a lot also the sunscreen is regularly
33 dollars but is on sale right now for 28 dollars which is such a reasonable price it's
very high quality and i really love polish choice as a brand so definitely check that
out another moisturizer spf that i've been loving is the fenty beauty hydra visor moisturizer
i love the sunscreen when i first got it i used it like every single day for a couple
of weeks just because it has like little glimmers in it that make my skin look incredible especially
on days where i'm not gonna wear makeup and i just want my skin to look absolutely radiant
and glowy i really really enjoy this fenty one it also is 35 dual is so it's super reasonably
priced the thing i will say about this it is very hydrating so if you have dry or normal
skin i think you will absolutely adore this on days where my skin feels extra dehydrated
i can get away with using this but just on a normal day-to-day basis my skin is just
a little bit too oily to use this every single day but i do really enjoy it it makes my skin
look amazing it has a really light scent as well and i do love that the packaging is refillable
so if you run out you just buy a little thing thing and it's eco-friendly two other moisturizers
spf's that i really enjoy is this one from dermalogica this is the dynamic skin recovery
spf 50 and the peter thomas roth water drench spf 45 so i love both of these this one is
very very expensive so this is a little bit more of a splurge item i personally would
pay for it because i think it has just the perfect consistency and i just love moisturizers
that contain spf because it just kicks out two of those steps right away i don't have
to apply a moisturizer and then spf separate it just saves me a little bit of that time
so i do really enjoy this dermalogica because the way that it feels on my skin it blends
out really nice and it just it's it's pleasant to apply and it feels kind of expensive so
if you're bougie and you like dermalogica i think you'll absolutely adore this one this
one from peter thomas roth it really does feel like a cloud it kind of has like a really
airy texture and this one is also very very hydrating but it doesn't quite feel as good
as this dermalogica one it's a good like moisturizer spf combo and if you really like this brand
or if you have really dry or normal skin i think you will really enjoy this we are nearing
the end next category is invisible sunscreen so these are like clear sunscreens that don't
look like anything on the skin so i have two here one of them is the super goop unseen
sunscreen and this is just a cult favorite i have talked about the sunscreen for years
and years now but it just is invisible on the skin it's completely clear so obviously
there's no white cast or anything like that this one almost feels like a primer on my
skin so whenever i'm wearing makeup or anything like that i have been reaching for this one
a lot for those reasons and if you are darker skin and you struggle with finding sunscreens
that leave a little bit of a white cast on your skin i would definitely try this one
this one is 34 duelists so it's kind of like that mid-range it's not super ridiculous but
it is a favorite of mine i love that it feels like primer the only thing i will say about
this is it doesn't moisturize or hydrate your skin so you want to make sure that you have
all of your moisturizers and serums on before you apply this and spf by the way always goes
last in your routine and before makeup another invisible sunscreen that i really enjoy is
this murad age reform invisibler spf 30 so this one doesn't have quite as high of an
spf as a super group one it doesn't hydrate your skin either so i use this alone as just
an spf i do really like that it's completely clear on my skin and it does have a very similar
consistency to the super group unseen sunscreen it has kind of a primary texture and so i
do like reaching for this under makeup or even if i'm not wearing makeup and i just
want something super easy and it just doesn't leave any white cass at all which i love last
category is spf with benefits and i have a couple here to talk about i have the super
goop glow screen and the dr jart zika pair line this super goop glow screen is very similar
to the unseen sunscreen but there is little like glimmer pigments in here that kind of
make your skin look really glowy and radiant i will say it's very similar to the fenty
one but this one is actually a moisturizer and this one is actually just like a pure
spf that won't hydrate your skin but it makes your skin look very very glowy i only reach
for this when i am wearing makeup but the only thing i will say about this is you can't
really do the two finger rolls just because there's so much glimmer and pigment in this
you can only apply it to like the high points of your cheeks or if you want to do like a
really thin layer and apply it all over but you cannot do the two-finger rule with this
because you'll look like a disco ball i would highly recommend using like an spf underneath
or a moisturizer with spf and just using this as like a topper then we have the dr dart
zika pair tiger grass products this one here is the color correcting treatment and then
this one is the camo drops and these two pretty much do the same thing they kind of have a
greenish color and it'll kind of adjust to match your skin tone and it helps to color
correct any redness or anything like that and they also double as spf this one contains
spf 30 and this one contains spf 44. if you can't decide which one to get i think that
this one is better for lighter skin tones just because it is really really pigmented
and if i am not careful and i apply too much of this i will definitely see a white cast
on my skin like it just does too much color correcting and it looks kind of like greenish
and white on my skin and this one is better if you have like my skin tone or deeper just
because this isn't quite as pigmented as the jar version is but it does still color correct
the same way and helps to neutralize any redness and these are great multitasking products
that also contain spf so that brings us to the end of this video i hope that was helpful
for you guys i'll go ahead and link everything down below as well as all the price points
