I've faced acne since my early tween years, and after starting to use rice berry sunscreen by liittllextra, my skin is very sensitive, extremely dry, and still very prone to breakouts and flare-ups. I strongly suggest this sun screen if you have sensitive, dry skin and are dealing with acne. I usually layer it over rice berry moisturizer and it feels amazing! It’s incredibly moisturizing and makes my skin feel plump, does not sting my eyes or the rest of my face whatsoever, and from what I can tell, the sunscreen itself has not contributed to my breakouts. It imparts a lovely glow, which boosts my confidence about my skin despite the severe acne. I highly recommend this sunscreen! There is light at the end of the tunnel my fellow acne-struggling friends
Some of the sunscreens here include butyloctyl salicylate. What do you think of Lab Muffin's videos about "mineral sunscreen" brands using butyloctyl salicylate as a hidden chemical filter to boost their SPF while claiming to be all mineral?
I love color science sunscreens so much, even though I have access to European sunscreens. They blend seamlessly and can easily replace foundation as well as shorten morning make up routine
Alastin Hydratint is my holy grail! Feels like skincare on the face. The SPF is 36, which is a little less than some mentioned here, but I wear it daily without fail, so it works. I also like the Elta MD Restore and the Australian Gold (but too drying in the winter). The Alastin is like wearing makeup without wearing makeup. Love it!
Naked Sundays Collagen Mineral Glow SPF 50…..my absolute holy grail, dry sensitive skin here and I love how this looks and feels on my skin, so thankful my friend gave this to me as a gift. I’m in Australia and have this on subscription service with a saving of 20%.
Very dry mature skin type: In the Summer, I wear Skinceuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 primarily. I do enjoy Skinbetter Science Sunbetter Advanced Mineral Protection SPF 75 (water resistant) and Neutrogena Purescreen Mineral UV Tint Face Liquid SPF 30 in Medium. This SPF comes in 4 shades which is fantastic.
I went through your comments and absolutely everyone is reacting to how beautiful this new makeup is. I know it was done by a makeup artist, could you please do a video showing what products were used?
Australian Gold Tinted Sunscreen is hands down my favorite!! ❤❤❤ I’m surprised you didn’t mention it, maybe cuz it was in a previous sunscreen video? Thanks for the recommendations!!
Australian gold sunscreen is my top fav now, I have the 30 spf for body and 50 spf for face medium tone and I mix it together to get the best shade, it leaves my skin dry no oils, and fresh the whole day! I hope they don't stop that
My favorites are the Australian Gold (I use Fair like bronzer) and the Numbuzin tone up cream (although it’s probably not all mineral). The Numbuzin is the only tinted product I’ve found fair enough for my skintone.
COTZ for the win!! Like you, I use the flawless complexion in the winter and the sensitive version in the summer (water resistant). I also like the Undefined R&R serum sunscreen. Also, thank you for sharing the Light as Air sunscreen in your chemical sunscreen video. It is incredible for the body and my kids only request this one now!! Such a gem. Already went through one and have 2 more to get us through the summer.
I've tried several and have come back to Elta Physical. It's the most flattering for me and feels good. Cera-ve is way too dark and orange. The new Neutrogena mineral sunscreen is too shiny and the light shade is very light which is surprising on my light skinUlta UV physical is just right, does not feel tacky, does not shine, and I like the pore-blurring effect that you mention.
I quite like the Australian Gold BB Cream as makeup and sunscreen in one, gives a nice blurring effect and they have different shades available, so it is one of the few that do not look orange or too dark on me. And, it is super affordable! The only problem is that it does gets very drying along the day :/
I also like the Australian Gold BB cream, but find it is drying.. especially in the winter. Lately I have been using the Skin Aqua 50+ Super Moisture Shower Milk Sunscreen (a new holy grail for me) over a gel moisturizer, then several minutes later, I apply a little bit of the AG BB cream for coverage. I recently purchased the Sum Bum SPF 30 Daily Mineral Sunscreen Moisturizer and am excited to try it. I believe it is new. It has a light tint and is water resistant for 80 minutes. The tint appears to be a lighter shade than the Sun Bum SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen face lotion.
I really like EltaMD UV Physical, but I've found it can be a bit drying. For that reason, I also like EltaMD UV Pure which starts out shockingly white and then changes to a clear sunscreen within 5 minutes. It isn't drying and also works well under foundation.
The Clearstem You are Sunshine is amazing…spf 50+, water resistant, 21% zinc, but somehow extremely lightweight! It’s so blurring on the skin and has caused no breakouts.
As an oily, acne prone, Floridian... I love the Australian Gold BB cream. I'm not sure why they changed the babe, it used to be their tinted face sunscreen, but I wear it all year long!
You look super fresh and beautiful Dr Ellis! If there are any Korean sunscreen fans reading the comments here's one for your consideration. First, my skin type, combination, oily t zone. Skin tone - on the fairer side, can tolerate a little white cast. Recommendation: axis y sunscreen Version 3 (not the earlier versions). It's now fragrance free and purely zinc oxide based, upon initial application it looks like it will give a cast, but after settling down it gives a tone up effect (like a healthy glow after applying foundation? But definitely not a pasty white). Also it's a liquid gel type like japanese sunscreens, so it feels quite pleasant to apply on my skin. I'm using it on top of benzoyl peroxide and azelaic acid cream, and it doesn't cause any itching. Overall a good sunscreen. Also I'm in southeast Asia where it's really humid at the moment and this doesn't feel sticky or heavy for me. Hope this helps! Thanks again for this video Dr Ellis!
Loved the tip to layer the Colorescience products! I love the FS Flex and put it on in 2 layers, but in the winter its can be too drying to do that. Your content turned me on to Colorescience and I haven't worn traditional makeup since. I use the balms, the total eye tint, mineral eye shadow and mascara now and love it. With the hotter temps we're experiencing this year its great to have a product that's as sweatproof as what Colorescience makes!
What I look for in my 3 ideal sunscreens: I am 18 y/o with dry skin and I live in Mississippi. 1st sunscreen: - This sunscreen would be only for my face and neck. - High UVA protection. - High UVB protection. < spf 100 or spf 50+ - Mineral sunscreen. - White cast would be fine. - Does not string the eyes. - With no fragrance. - No bad ingredients that could cause me harm. - It would leave my skin hydrated but not dewy or oily. - It would come in a jar. 2nd sunscreen: - This sunscreen would be only for my face and neck. - High UVA protection. - High UVB protection. < spf 100 or spf 50+ - Chemical sunscreen. - Zero white cast. - Does not string the eyes. - With no fragrance. - No bad ingredients that could cause me harm. - It would leave my skin naturally hydrated with a glowy look. - It would come in a jar. 3rd sunscreen: - This sunscreen would be for my arms, hands, legs, feet, etc. - High UVA protection. - High UVB protection. < spf 100 or spf 50+ - Chemical/Mineral sunscreen - Zero white cast. - With no fragrance. - No bad ingredients that could cause me harm. - It would leave my skin hydrated and glowy. - Good price. - 500mL - It would come in a large container, like a lotion, with a pump.
Ethical Zinc daily sunscreen is gorgeous for dry sensitive skin. Original and light or dark tinted versions. 22% zinc. They claim it’s a special type of non-nano Zno that protects against more UVA. Made in Oz. Warehouse also ships from US. Love it. ❤
I use the Flex everyday without fail. I use it, then just apply concealer for any extra coverage. The lightest color is perfect for my skin tone. I also like Elta md spf 44 sunscreen. It is more moisturizing than the 41spf. Biore spf 50+++ Korean brand has a nice one and I also love Beauty of Joson spf 50+++.
wow thanks for the info. I'm using a mineral sunscreen for 2 months now, it has no white cast and does not absorb heat, it also hydrates without feeling oily. I bought it from Sephora and it's called Ghostbuster by Lion Pose.
I never hear people talk about this one but I had an aesthetician turn me onto skinmedica essential defense mineral shield (I use the tinted but they have an untinted one too) and I repurchase again and again. I have fair/sensitive/reactive/acne-prone skin + rosacea, so it was a relief to find something when even elta uv clear didn’t work for me.
I really like the Ultra Violette Lean Screen SPF 50+ and my rosacea likes it, too :) I have combination skin and light olive toned skin, the sunscreen has a grey / green tint that works perfectly for me.
I have the same skin type and always break out when I'm using 'chemical' sunscreens. Gonna try out the Ultra Violette, thank you very much for sharing:)
like many in the comments, i'm a fan of the australian gold tinted bb cream sunscreen. it meets all my requirements: spf 50, broad spectrum, non-nano zinc/titanium oxide which i can even put on my eyelids without irritation (!!!), comes in multiple shades for deeper skin tones, water resistant for 80 minutes, matte finish (so rare in sunscreens in my experience), AND it's affordable to boot. the one thing about it is that i have to double cleanse to remove it, but i put up with that because it's likely due to the water resistance.
I have been a recent fan of Drmtlgy's Broad Spectrum (45 SPF) sunscreen. I love the lotion "feel": not too thick and goes on like a really lovely moisturizer. It purports to be for sensitive skin, which is why I was attracted to it originally. The only drawback, for me, is that it is not water resistant. It does come in a tinted formula, but I purchased the untinted version because I worry about tints not being a good match for my fair, 50+ skin. Thank you for this video! It provides more options for me--especially the water resistant/sensitive skin ones. 😊
I got turned on to MD Solar Sciences Mineral Tinted Crème by Angie at HotnFlashy. I’m a mature lady with younger looking skin and love that I don’t need makeup with this. It leaves me a little dewy which is ok. She also turned me on to Curology tretinoin which changed my skin for the better.
Love the Bloomeffects tulip dew SPF 50. Tinted, thin liquid formula that is really moisturizing but not heavy. I like mineral spf but it tends to dry down too matte for me leaving my skin feeling dehydrated. The moisturizing formulas usually feel heavy. This has been the perfect combo. Would love to hear your thoughts on it!
I have oily skin so I love the Elta MD UV Shield. I have tried the physical but it didn’t play nice with my oily skin. The Shueld has a slight white cast but I don’t care because I feel protected with it on. My mom laughs at me because I will reapply every two hours.
I like the Naked Sundays Collagen Glow Mineral Perfecting Priming Lotion SPF 50. It's a mineral tinted sunscreen that's water resistant, fragrance free, and has 20% zinc oxide. Very moisturizing for dry skin and the cool toned tint leaves no cast! Only cons are that it does feel thick going on (but it does have a nice finish after it's rubbed or patted on the skin) and it's pricey at $34.
Hi Sam. I love your videos. I enjoy using the Australian Gold tinted sunscreen during the summer and the Paulas Choice Super light wrinkle defence during the winter. BTW great sunscreen recommendations in this video. Also I love your necklace..... where did you get it? 😊
Really loving the mineral spf from Cay Skin right now 💕 their face glow spf 45 is also amazing and is a chemical option that doesn’t sting my skin. These two are my HGs so far this summer
Love the Isdin one! I have been using for years. Also the untinted one is good for the neck (doesn’t get on clothes), and you can add Isdin skin drops to it and apply to the face. The skin drops come in different shades.
I've watched a ton of sunscreen videos but one thing no one seems to cover is -what sunscreens should I use when I reapply? For context, I use mineral sunscreen since I have skin sensitivity and then apply my makeup on top of it. However, what sunscreens would be best to reapply throughout the day on top of my makeup to minimize having to reapply my makeup? What is the best way to apply sunscreen on top of makeup? Would love more guidance on that. Thanks!
I almost always wear the BoJ sunscreen, but Murad City Skin (not the one in the dropper) is my mineral HG. Edit: I'm *VERY* fair skinned with cool coloring, and the tint works really well for me.
Murad sunscreen, the one in the dropper, is on of the worst I’ve ever tried for my normal to combo skin in the summer 🙈 I’ll stick to my Elta MD UV elements 😌
Again you look stunning today. The sunscreen I love is from Supergoop! zinc sunscreen spf 40. I have very oily skin and this is a matte finish. I love it
I only use mineral sunscreen and only tinted because I don't want any whiteness. I have several favorites, the Elta MD being one ... I also love the Weightless Liquid Mineral Sunscreen With Zinc Oxide SPF 30 by First Aid Beauty ... my only complaint about it is that I wish it was a higher SPF.
I keep returning to the MyChelle Sunshield because it doesn't hurt my eyes, is invisible if rubbed in well, and doesn't make my mascara smudge, but it's only SPF 28
The Josie Maran Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 47, there is a tinted version. It’ si really hydrating. I’m fair so I dont’ t use the tinted version. Il use the normal sunscreen for years and it’s a lovely formula for my face ❤😊
Kinship is my new favorite! I have dry skin and it leaves a nice finish. I love the color - just slightly tinted, cool shade. I used to like Pipette but was getting a rash on my neck from it.
Hi, I know this video is a bit old. I finally started wearing facial sunscreen day about a year ago at age 55. I saw a recommendation for La Roche Posay minderal sunscreen, and was initially using their regular one, then discovered by accident that there was one that was tinted, which I think looks a lot better. My one question as a guy is this - I've never worn makeup, or even a moisturizer (well up until a year ago when I started using CeraV PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion, but in the morning before I put on my subscreen. I also wear a hat to protect my balding head, and I also put sunscreen on my neck and ears so that I'm protected in these exposed areas as well. The problem I have is that the hat gets stained with either the white or the tint depending on which sunscreen I use, and my colored shirts do as well. So, I guess I'm wondering if there is a particular type of sunscreen formulation that has less potential to do that, or is this something that is always a problem regardless? Do women who use makeup have this issue with their clothes, or if not, how is it avoided? Sorry for such a newbie basic question! Thanks for your video, it was very helpful!
Been waiting for this video - thanks Dr. Ellis! My favorite mineral sunscreens right now are: Hero Superlight SPF 30 and Saint Jane Sun Ritual Pore Smoothing SPF 30. I love the Hero sunscreen on it's own on days I'm not wearing makeup (which tbh is most days haha I'm not a makeup gal), but my best friend has worn it on it's own and under makeup and she says it works great for both. I love the Saint Jane one under makeup as a primer, and it's nice enough to be worn on it's own as well, it just doesn't have enough coverage for my personal preference. They're both great for my combination/sensitive/red skin. Been wanting to try the Colorescience ones for a while, so those might be my next sunscreen purchase :) I'm still on the hunt for a mineral sunscreen that I can wear on it's own that gives more coverage, and those look promising!
Desperate for a nice looking mineral sunscreen. I am mixed race, Caucasian & Asian (Japanese). I started having Rosacea about a year and a half ago. The worst of my flares have been in the past year, and my biggest triggers are stress. sunlight, and wind. I’ve tried everything. Spent at least $1,000, in total. Crazy enough, the best I’ve found (for my skin) so far is Nuetrogena Pure Zinc, mixed with the mineral sunscreen Paula’s Choice makes (light blue tube). On its own, the Paula’s Choice would be too yellow and too dark. On its own, the Neutrogena is too cast-y and very drying. The two dermatologists I’ve seen both say it’s perfectly fine to mix the products, but I don’t have a lot of confidence (or trust) in what the say. Finding a great dermatologist, where I live, appears to be as difficult as finding a sunscreen I look forward to putting on every day. 😂 I may try the Kinmade Self Reflect sunscreen, despite it containing extracts of vanilla for fragrance. Reluctant, as vanilla often appears on the No-No List for Rosacea sufferers. It’s 2023. Why are manufacturers still adding fragrance (natural or artificial)?
I hope you don't mind my saying that you are so intelligent and beautiful. Your videos are over the top informative. I love your channel. I am obsessed! Thank you.
I had used elta UV daily for a year, had my rare rosacea flare up, waited til gone went back to using it- and NOPE, now I get flare ups EVERY time I go back to it. So just saying.. for all you rosacea friends
I love beauty of Joseon Relief sun protection plus probiotics, ++++ and even Isntree Hyaluronic acid watery sun gel is fine. Both double as a moisturizer for my dry skin care in hot and humid summer months. I use timeless Vitamin C Serum first and then directly my SPF and it feels good.
I’ve started using sunscreen several times per day. It’s just a cheap Walmart brand. It’s starting to make my break out in acne, any tips on which sunscreens cause or don’t cause acne?
Anything can cause that. It might be the fragrance breaking you out. You could try something more gentle without fragrance, like Cetaphil or CeraVe? Differin has a nice one too.
Perhaps it's too heavy for you and opting for more lightweight/fluid formulas would work better. Or you might not be removing it properly at the end of the day, are you double cleansing?
Hello, Thank you for this video. I've been using La Roche Posay Anthelios Oil Correct for a while but trying to find other options. I found the Allies of Skin - The One SPF 50 Invisible Sunscreen Gel option that seems to be a good option under makeup and people say it's so good for sensitive skin, it does not sting at all. Did you ever try it or know about it? Thank you so much! I love your videos ❤
I've faced acne since my early tween years, and after starting to use rice berry sunscreen by liittllextra, my skin is very sensitive, extremely dry, and still very prone to breakouts and flare-ups. I strongly suggest this sun screen if you have sensitive, dry skin and are dealing with acne. I usually layer it over rice berry moisturizer and it feels amazing!

Since 15 days of using rice berry sunscreen and facial moisturizer, I'm seen good results in my skin.
But the only negative I see is that I saw benzophenone 3 in ingredients list
Can you do a makeup tutorial for this look? You look absolutely stunning!!!
Recently she did a professional photography session, maybe it’s the same day she got professional makeup done 😉
Nikki Larose did this makeup 😊
Wish I could! This is professional hair and makeup! But I definitely picked up some tips I can share!
I agree!!!

I've been using the Australian brand Blue Lizard for years and loving it. Once it dries down it doesn't have too much of a white cast.
I went through your comments and absolutely everyone is reacting to how beautiful this new makeup is. I know it was done by a makeup artist, could you please do a video showing what products were used?
Australian Gold Tinted Sunscreen is hands down my favorite!! ❤❤❤
I’m surprised you didn’t mention it, maybe cuz it was in a previous sunscreen video?
Thanks for the recommendations!!
Me too!! I use it every single day, it's amazing!
my favorite tinted sunscreen is the Skinbetter Tone Smart spf! i like to layer it on top of my moisturizer and it looks great!

@@justme-by8ry I love it! The Fair/ Light shade is getting harder to find in the US, so I just ordered 4 bottles when I actually found it. ☺️🤓
La Roche Posay , both the invisible finish chemical sunscreen and the tinted mineral one, are amazing!
COTZ for the win!! Like you, I use the flawless complexion in the winter and the sensitive version in the summer (water resistant). I also like the Undefined R&R serum sunscreen.
Also, thank you for sharing the Light as Air sunscreen in your chemical sunscreen video. It is incredible for the body and my kids only request this one now!! Such a gem. Already went through one and have 2 more to get us through the summer.

You look so beautiful and glowing. Can you do a makeup tutorial on this look please. Thank you!

I am allergic to chemical sunscreens, so finding mineral sunscreens I like is important. Currently my go to for the face is La Roche Posay Anthelios

The Kosas sunbeam mineral sunscreen and the Neutrogena pure skin tinted sunscreen are very good!
The Dr. Dennis Gross all physical sunscreen is my favorite. It's pricey but it's super hydrating and my sensitive, dry skin loves it!
That hair color in you is a 💯 soooo cute. Thanks for all the recommendations and info

It purports to be for sensitive skin, which is why I was attracted to it originally. The only drawback, for me, is that it is not water resistant. It does come in a tinted formula, but I purchased the untinted version because I worry about tints not being a good match for my fair, 50+ skin. Thank you for this video! It provides more options for me--especially the water resistant/sensitive skin ones. 😊
The tinted version is fine for light skin tones! I love both versions. It is not giving coverage, the tint is very transparent.
I got turned on to MD Solar Sciences Mineral Tinted Crème by Angie at HotnFlashy. I’m a mature lady with younger looking skin and love that I don’t need makeup with this. It leaves me a little dewy which is ok. She also turned me on to Curology tretinoin which changed my skin for the better.
Love the Bloomeffects tulip dew SPF 50. Tinted, thin liquid formula that is really moisturizing but not heavy. I like mineral spf but it tends to dry down too matte for me leaving my skin feeling dehydrated. The moisturizing formulas usually feel heavy. This has been the perfect combo. Would love to hear your thoughts on it!
I have oily skin so I love the Elta MD UV Shield. I have tried the physical but it didn’t play nice with my oily skin. The Shueld has a slight white cast but I don’t care because I feel protected with it on. My mom laughs at me because I will reapply every two hours.
I love the mineral La Rosche!
I like the Naked Sundays Collagen Glow Mineral Perfecting Priming Lotion SPF 50. It's a mineral tinted sunscreen that's water resistant, fragrance free, and has 20% zinc oxide.
Very moisturizing for dry skin and the cool toned tint leaves no cast! Only cons are that it does feel thick going on (but it does have a nice finish after it's rubbed or patted on the skin) and it's pricey at $34.
Hi Sam. I love your videos. I enjoy using the Australian Gold tinted sunscreen during the summer and the Paulas Choice Super light wrinkle defence during the winter. BTW great sunscreen recommendations in this video. Also I love your necklace..... where did you get it? 😊
I love a lot of these - at least the reasonably priced ones. Vanicream moisturizer with spf 30 is also a really good one for dry skin.
My favorite one is the Goongbe Waterful Sun Lotion SPF 50+. It is really runny and doesn’t leave a white cast on my light Medium skin tone.
Really loving the mineral spf from Cay Skin right now 💕 their face glow spf 45 is also amazing and is a chemical option that doesn’t sting my skin. These two are my HGs so far this summer
Dr Ellis you look amazing. Thank you for your amazing videos ❤
Love the Isdin one! I have been using for years. Also the untinted one is good for the neck (doesn’t get on clothes), and you can add Isdin skin drops to it and apply to the face. The skin drops come in different shades.
Color science makes my skin hot… gives me a tingling effect. It’s too bad because I love the color n texture
That happened to me with Paula's Choice!
Even the Flex one?
I use that and I like it.
@@dianatrif7085 yes, also the skin better science which is quite expensive. My face felt hot n itchy. Have no idea which ingredient may be causing it
Maybe bc those Colorscience sunscreens are full of silicones. I can’t stand the feel and they don’t dry down on me 😏
These are my top 3 😁! I’ve been enjoying the Odacite tinted recently.
I've watched a ton of sunscreen videos but one thing no one seems to cover is -what sunscreens should I use when I reapply? For context, I use mineral sunscreen since I have skin sensitivity and then apply my makeup on top of it. However, what sunscreens would be best to reapply throughout the day on top of my makeup to minimize having to reapply my makeup? What is the best way to apply sunscreen on top of makeup? Would love more guidance on that. Thanks!
I almost always wear the BoJ sunscreen, but Murad City Skin (not the one in the dropper) is my mineral HG.
Edit: I'm *VERY* fair skinned with cool coloring, and the tint works really well for me.
What's the name of the Murad sunscreen that you used? Does it perform well under foundations?
@@1m0nik1 It's called Murad City Skin Age Defense SPF 50/PA++++
I don't wear makeup, so I can't speak to how it works with foundation.
Murad City Skin is also my HG! But I would love to replace it. Expensive, and also the bottle is tough to squeeze towards the end.
@@AllyVelasco For sure! I recently bought the sample size, since I use a cheaper sunscreen most of the time, and it's much easier to squeeze.
Murad sunscreen, the one in the dropper, is on of the worst I’ve ever tried for my normal to combo skin in the summer 🙈 I’ll stick to my Elta MD UV elements 😌
Again you look stunning today. The sunscreen I love is from Supergoop! zinc sunscreen spf 40. I have very oily skin and this is a matte finish. I love it
Skin, hair color and makeup.. just like the"Greek goddess"😊
Which foundation was used in this makeup look you’re wearing? So pretty! 😍 ✨
Eucerin sensitive mineral. Great for the kids and myself. Budget friendly too!
I love the Dr Brandt Liquid Sunshield. It’s pricey but the formula is divine on my dry sensitive skin
I only use mineral sunscreen and only tinted because I don't want any whiteness. I have several favorites, the Elta MD being one ... I also love the Weightless Liquid Mineral Sunscreen With Zinc Oxide SPF 30 by First Aid Beauty ... my only complaint about it is that I wish it was a higher SPF.
I keep returning to the MyChelle Sunshield because it doesn't hurt my eyes, is invisible if rubbed in well, and doesn't make my mascara smudge, but it's only SPF 28
The Josie Maran Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 47, there is a tinted version. It’ si really hydrating. I’m fair so I dont’ t use the tinted version. Il use the normal sunscreen for years and it’s a lovely formula for my face ❤😊
Kinship is my new favorite! I have dry skin and it leaves a nice finish. I love the color - just slightly tinted, cool shade. I used to like Pipette but was getting a rash on my neck from it.
I’m so so so excited and grateful for this advice!
Your makeup/complexion here is GORGEOUS! Could you share what you used here?
Your makeup looks amazing can you please tell us everything your wearing today just beautiful
She said on Instagram she had it professionally done. That’s why it looks SO AMAZING on this day in particular.
Hi, I know this video is a bit old. I finally started wearing facial sunscreen day about a year ago at age 55. I saw a recommendation for La Roche Posay minderal sunscreen, and was initially using their regular one, then discovered by accident that there was one that was tinted, which I think looks a lot better.
My one question as a guy is this - I've never worn makeup, or even a moisturizer (well up until a year ago when I started using CeraV PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion, but in the morning before I put on my subscreen. I also wear a hat to protect my balding head, and I also put sunscreen on my neck and ears so that I'm protected in these exposed areas as well. The problem I have is that the hat gets stained with either the white or the tint depending on which sunscreen I use, and my colored shirts do as well. So, I guess I'm wondering if there is a particular type of sunscreen formulation that has less potential to do that, or is this something that is always a problem regardless? Do women who use makeup have this issue with their clothes, or if not, how is it avoided?
Sorry for such a newbie basic question! Thanks for your video, it was very helpful!
Omg you look even more gorgeous in this video!
I will need to try some of your tinted options. The ISDIN leaves me with terrible gray cast.
Been waiting for this video - thanks Dr. Ellis! My favorite mineral sunscreens right now are: Hero Superlight SPF 30 and Saint Jane Sun Ritual Pore Smoothing SPF 30. I love the Hero sunscreen on it's own on days I'm not wearing makeup (which tbh is most days haha I'm not a makeup gal), but my best friend has worn it on it's own and under makeup and she says it works great for both. I love the Saint Jane one under makeup as a primer, and it's nice enough to be worn on it's own as well, it just doesn't have enough coverage for my personal preference. They're both great for my combination/sensitive/red skin. Been wanting to try the Colorescience ones for a while, so those might be my next sunscreen purchase :) I'm still on the hunt for a mineral sunscreen that I can wear on it's own that gives more coverage, and those look promising!
Desperate for a nice looking mineral sunscreen. I am mixed race, Caucasian & Asian (Japanese). I started having Rosacea about a year and a half ago. The worst of my flares have been in the past year, and my biggest triggers are stress. sunlight, and wind. I’ve tried everything. Spent at least $1,000, in total. Crazy enough, the best I’ve found (for my skin) so far is Nuetrogena Pure Zinc, mixed with the mineral sunscreen Paula’s Choice makes (light blue tube). On its own, the Paula’s Choice would be too yellow and too dark. On its own, the Neutrogena is too cast-y and very drying.
The two dermatologists I’ve seen both say it’s perfectly fine to mix the products, but I don’t have a lot of confidence (or trust) in what the say. Finding a great dermatologist, where I live, appears to be as difficult as finding a sunscreen I look forward to putting on every day. 😂
I may try the Kinmade Self Reflect sunscreen, despite it containing extracts of vanilla for fragrance. Reluctant, as vanilla often appears on the No-No List for Rosacea sufferers.
It’s 2023. Why are manufacturers still adding fragrance (natural or artificial)?
Could you please share the eyeshadow you’re wearing? Love it. Thanks for all of the helpful info as always!
Informative video as always!!
Also could you please do a video on nail health? How to maintain the health of cuticles as such?? ❤
Ooh it’s coming 👀
@@DrSamEllis Thanks a ton!
You're glowing Doc!!
Your lake up and lighting look great ❤
The summer Fridays work amazing for my deep skin
I hope you don't mind my saying that you are so intelligent and beautiful. Your videos are over the top informative. I love your channel. I am obsessed! Thank you.
Jesus… you look extra radiant in this video wow 😻
I had used elta UV daily for a year, had my rare rosacea flare up, waited til gone went back to using it- and NOPE, now I get flare ups EVERY time I go back to it. So just saying.. for all you rosacea friends
What's your lipstick?❤
You look extra breathtakingly beautiful in this video!
I find it very strange that you didn't point out that the state of Hawaii and other places with coral reefs don't allow most chemical sunscreens.
I love beauty of Joseon Relief sun protection plus probiotics, ++++ and even Isntree Hyaluronic acid watery sun gel is fine. Both double as a moisturizer for my dry skin care in hot and humid summer months. I use timeless Vitamin C Serum first and then directly my SPF and it feels good.
I’ve started using sunscreen several times per day. It’s just a cheap Walmart brand. It’s starting to make my break out in acne, any tips on which sunscreens cause or don’t cause acne?
Anything can cause that. It might be the fragrance breaking you out. You could try something more gentle without fragrance, like Cetaphil or CeraVe? Differin has a nice one too.
Perhaps it's too heavy for you and opting for more lightweight/fluid formulas would work better. Or you might not be removing it properly at the end of the day, are you double cleansing?
Hello, Thank you for this video. I've been using La Roche Posay Anthelios Oil Correct for a while but trying to find other options. I found the Allies of Skin - The One SPF 50 Invisible Sunscreen Gel option that seems to be a good option under makeup and people say it's so good for sensitive skin, it does not sting at all.
Did you ever try it or know about it?
Thank you so much! I love your videos ❤
LOVE your summer highlights! ❤️
just here to say you look *so* pretty
