I'm using LRP kid's sunscreen. I thought it was great, but the alcohol smell and the low key burning (not stinging) around the eyes is too much. I use neutrogena sheer zinc (not so sheer) around the eyes and it's perfect except for the white cast on my pasty skin. I really want to find a good chemical sunscreen but have yet to find one I can use on the eye and neck area without irritation/contact dermatitis 😩
Came here because I saw my favorite sunscreen in the thumbnail.....Blackgirlsunscreen is my FAVORITE I'm in love. Doesnt break me out. Doesnt leave me oily. No white cast. Just a nice glowy look.
@@junkoe119 I know you can find it online, and that's so sweet that you want to get something for your brother to use. Mine doesn't even put on moisturizer half the time. 😊
I've been desperately looking for a new sunscreen, as mine are close to expiring. I'm having so much trouble finding one that doesn't pill up over my skincare! 😭 The white cast doesn't bother me so much (as I'm basically Casper), but her description of this one sounds so good. And isn't stupid expensive, omg. I love a glow, I love a hydrating sunscreen, and I love ones that actually do absorb, somewhat. Gotta try this!
LOL my parents used to use the whitecast from sunscreens to tell where they had & hadn't applied sunscreen on the kids. But I was so pale, it didn't make a difference. So they ended up getting sunscreen with that purple cast to make sure they could still tell 🙃 I just remember thinking purple was super cool. Also it smelled like grape
at least your parents take care of you . my parents didn‘t care at all. if we had a sun burn, mama was smearing a ton of yoghurt on our back and said this will heal soon and then you get a nice tanned skin. 😂🙈
sounds like a fun story :D in my case my mom made me wear a hat but not much sunscreen. she did focus a lot on after sun care though. aloe cucumber hyaluronic acid XD
Thank you so much for talking about the importance of sunscreen the black community and shedding light on supporting black owned businesses! I appreciate you! Just subscribed! 🥰😊
Can you do a favorite spf lip balms. Also please review the la Roche Posay products one of my favorite products is the la Roche Posay water cooling sunscreen.
Yey! Someone talking about the Australian Gold tinted SPF again! I've been using this for a couple of years now and it leaves a nice finish on the face. I feel like not a lot of people talk about it. It's also a good makeup base. 😄
It’s a US brand. They sell it in the UK so I’m hoping it has to pass the UK sunscreen standards which are considered more rigorous than the US ones. Having said that it’s a great sunscreen regardless. It’s zinc based and the formula has a lovely feel!
People look at me like I'm crazy when I use it. I even had my esti look at the body one. It's way bigger, so it lasts longer. She approved. The only downside is the white cast
@@MoonPie44 I think it does pass the UK sunscreen standard.. at least I hope it does as well since I messaged them before asking for the PA/PPD rating that usually US sunscreens don't have and they gave me a rating
@@meganjustice9606 Yea, the white cast is always the problem with mineral sunscreens that's why I use their tinted face sunscreen and it works fine for me 🙂
Hey guys just so you know DERMA E has a powder sunscreen as well that’s half the price of the ones she showed! An I know it works!! I use it, and I live in NC right by the beach. An I’ve never gotten a sunburn reapplying with that on makeup days!❤️ Also hands down Coola and Tula have the best sunscreens I’ve ever used. They go on sheer, leave you hydrated but not greasy!
Black Girl Sunscreen for the WIN!!! Been using it for years and love it! I'm looking forward to trying the matte formula. I use Banana Boat Sport on my body and it doesn't leave a white cast.
I’m going to try the matte formula as well. I was going to get Supergoop for my body. Oh and if you have an HSA or FSA, you can use it to buy sunscreen.
hey just out of curiosity, what were you going to fight her on specifically? Just curious if it's the sunscreen itself or something in her presentation of it
@@najah7781 Because it can be used by anyone. However, it is targeted to black people and it works because our skin is different and shes obviously not black. So her commenting on not buying it would be a bit off putting if you get what I'm saying
Good morning from Norway :) I have fallen in love with La Roche-Posay Anthelios Age Correct SPF 50. I currently use it as my moisturiser, because why not? I tan easily, so I had to upgrade from my Hawaiian Tropic SPF 30 (which I've used all winter - yay me) now that we have had a sudden spell of sunshine here on the otherwise very rainy west coast of Norway. I wish everyone a nice day.
Be careful with using sunscreen as a moisturiser with a high alcohol content directly on your face as it can dry it out your skin over time and give you a rash. That's what happened to me unless you moisturise well underneath. Just wanted to let you know because I didn't and am dealing with a reaction atm x
@@diamondprincess458 Thank you. I will check my sunscreen for alcohol :) my experience is that my sunscreen tends to pill if I use moisturiser underneath.
@@solveigwI know la Roche has alcohol pretty high on its ingredients so be careful :) Yeah I know what you mean with the pilling it's really annoying but I found it depends on the type of moisturiser you use e.g oil/water based x
It stays matte. I'd recommend a moisturizer along with the matte spf. The matte formulation isn't a moisturizing as the regular formulation. Which u could use in place of your moisturizer because of the ingredients
I have been watching your youtube videos since you stared and I used to have sever acne myself! I am so impressed with all the knowledge you have gained over the years. Keep up the great work you inspire me. Your skin looks great!
SO glad you did a review of Black Girl Sunscreen because I purchased it recently and I’m OBSESSED!!!! Obsessed with the mission, the formula, the affordability, I LOVE IT!
That Australian Gold one (comes in a few tints as well though not comprehensive) is really really great for oily skin with less melanin. It can be a beast to remove though. Oil cleanser is the way to go. The Black Girl is another absolute favorite! (I just wish it were a higher spf.) Great video. I want to try the powder now too.
2 things I always want to know, but no one tends to talk about: what does it smell like, and does it pill up if you touch your skin? So THANK YOU for covering the second one!
The sunscreen market in Canada is lacklustre to say the least but I managed to find the Australian Gold after you and Liah Yoo recommended it, and I. Am. Obsessed. I’ve recommended it to so many people.
A while back ( I can't remember exactly how long ago) Dr. Dray did a sunscreen recommendations video where she talked about the Olay Complete UV365 Daily Moisturizer Spf 30, oil free and formulated for sensitive skin. I've never particularly been interested in Olay product. I kind of always viewed them as being targeted toward an older age group. Anyway, I've gone through at least a dozen bottles of this stuff. I've tried several others since, even Korean and higher end ones, but I always go back to this for daily use. If I'm going to be out and about I use something a bit stronger. I'm oily and acne prone, and this gives me no issues in that department. It gives a glow, but also has a high concentration of niacinamide, which helps with oil control so I'm never greasy. It's a mixture of chemical and physical filters, so I feel like it would blend in for most people. I'm super pale, but my mom is medium olive, and my daughter is a light caramel color and we all can use it without a white cast. For $11.12 at Walmart, ya really can't go wrong. Only thing is that it's just 2.5 ounces, so I go through it pretty fast, but at that price point, I'm not really mad about that. Also, I think it's fragrance free. Physician's Formula has an spf 30 powder that I like pretty well, but like most PF products the shade range is abysmal. The Etude House Sunprise Mild Airy Finish (a mouthful of a name) may not be as easily accessible, or fragrance free, but it's affordable at around $8 or $9. It's very lightweight and non-greasy. It literally feels like nothing at all, and it plays well with makeup.
Cassandra!!!! Black girl sunscreen makes a kids spf 50 sunscreen and it's $10 for 3 oz. I love it so much, it's so moisturizing on my dry skin and doesn't burn my eyes which usually happens with american chemical sunscreens. I tested it on my boyfriend and he said it didn't burn so I had to give it a go and loved it. Saving it for winter when my skin is dryer
I needed to find a replacement for my non-cruelty-free sunscreen and this white girl 110% going for the Black Girl Sunscreen. I usually rock the dewy look so it'll do me fine, and it's super affordable. Thanks for the recommendation!
Could you do a video about SPFs/products in general that include Cremes for ppl who don’t live in the US/ are available outside of the US ? Cause I feel like you do a lot of videos abt products that are only available in the US :D I honestly love your Chanel so much and I feel so educated on my own skin care , but it sometimes seems US centered
@@maramihaeladragan9544 yeah I know that I could order them, but I don’t want to order products from Amazon , that for example could have an equivalently product here in Europe that I could easily buy at a store (I live in Germany). I’d just love if Cassandra would test/comment on those popular products outside of the US. Cause there are some really good Cremes in Europe that I’d love a criticism abt from her because I trust Cassandra very much and love how she explains everything :)
I get that but not all US skin care folks are familiar with brands available in Europe. That said, there are skin care folks/derms in Europe who could be a source like Doctor Anne who's based in Germany.
@@db-gb5xi yeah I know. But like I said, I like Cassandra and for her it wouldn’t be a struggle to do research cause she’s an expert in her field and maybe she finds a new good cream for her :D
I'm in aus and I'm finding it hard to find. I found on Amazon but the medium shade one is $109!!! I thought this was an Aussie product but seems like someone's using our name :/
@@religionbritt3908 I find it goes on nicely but dries quickly so you gotta blend quick. It’s quick thick but offers amazing protection. Taking it off is annoying even for me cause it doesn’t come off the first time.
i started using coola sunscreen since i saw your video recommending it, its the only one that hasn't made my break out that I've tried. So worth the price
Black Girl Sunscreen looks amazing! Did some additional research and I'm definitely going to buy it. Natural, vegan/cruelty free and safe for reefs? It looks like it blends well for all skin tones and you also get to support a black owned company. Can't go wrong with that.
Do follow labmuffinbeautyscience on here, she’s spoken about how the whole “reef safe” label is a gimmick that a lot of brands use when the reality is that you don’t need to worry that much about the impact your skincare has on reefs. I definitely want to try out Black Girl Sunscreen though!
@@artikagunathasan4040 Maybe you personally don't have to worry that much, but I'll still pick a sunscreen that's reef safe. BGS's ingredients are definitely a winner for me.
Could you do a video on how expired makeup is bad (or not) for the skin and when do certain makeup products ACTUALLY expire? And maby a video on noncomedogenic foundations with good ingredients for skin that actually won't cause acnee or clog pores? I think makeup can play a huge role in how your skin looks so I'd love to see some makeup related videos as well 💕💕
You got me good. I thought you was really knocking black girl sunscreen 😂😂😂 I think the stuff is great, but it makes me shine like a diamond, but hey, sometimes I like that.
Thank you soo much! I always wear sunscreen but couldn't stomach the pricetag of brands like supergoop anymore. Will be skipping out to buy some of these today! Just curious, you said the spf 15 was okay if you reapply. I've read Canadian studies on sunscreen that say anything less than 30 might as well be zero. What do you think? Thanks again for the video❤
Thank you!!! The Australian Gold Tinted Sunscreen is amazing. I can’t tell you how many I tried plus they have a few shades. I wore it all day Friday and I was so happy with it
YES to the Australian Gold sunscreen ❤️ The tint is too dark for me but I mix it with some of their kids sunscreen from the same line and it makes the perfect shade for me. (The brand told me to try this when I emailed them requesting more inclusive shades. Don't mix random sunscreens or you can risk them not creating a proper layer on your skin).
Omg I didn’t know I could do that! I been using the Australian gold spf 50 light tinted but it’s too dark for me. So you’re saying I can mix it with the baby mineral and it’ll be fine since it’s the same brand ?
@@Chelsea-ju1ex I think it’s the Avobenzone causing it. I’ve tried a quite a few chemical sunscreens in my day and it seems like the Avobenzone-free ones don’t sting my eyes like crazy
I found this very helpful thank you. I struggle knowing what drugstore skincare is good. I was wondering if you’d ever do a Walmart one? If not that’s fine. I still really enjoy this one and really appreciate you taking the time to help us find good skincare 🥰
I have been using black girl sunscreen for 2 years now. My dark patches have faded out. I put it 3 times a day when I am out and about. I highly recommend especially to mature women❤
Seeing how many people who think mineral makeup with SPF is a decent substitute for SPF lotion is upsetting me. 😖 "All sunscreens break me out so I just use the Derma-E Mineral Powder, instead." I was looking at reviews, and soooo many of them are like that! Yeesh.
I've been interested in BlackGirl sunscreen and the Australian Gold spf. Now that they've got a thumbs-up from you, I'm ready to try them in the future!
It was recommended to me to always go with what was described as “physical block” sunscreens (zinc oxide/titanium dioxide) vs chemical sunscreens. I was advised that the chemical sunscreens create a false sense of confidence in relation to sun protection. Can you provide some advice on this subject or explain the “false confidence” issue that others have referred to?
Thanks cassandra , I ordered the Australian gold for my body not the face when I play in the sun. The other zinc moisturizers are white and sticky. I get a a bunch of bugs stuck to me on my 50 mile bike rides. Plus the bottle is a nice size to stick in my back pocket so I can reapply.
Hi Cassandra! Is it possible you could do a video on which sunscreens are great under makeup? I’ve tried ones that feel slippery on the skin, but then my make up moves all over the place. It’s hard to find one that works under foundation. Help?🙏🏻
I have sensitive, dry, and acne prone skin. I've never worn sunscreen mainky because I don't know which one I should get and that will work with my skin. Which one would you do you think I should try? I'm new here.
I really need someone independent to do testing for the Australian Gold one. 4% Zinc oxide and 4% Titanium dioxide, when most other SPF 50 mineral sunscreens are combined 15%+, sounds too much like the Purito.
Cassandra can you pretty please do a video recommending products for sun damaged skin? I use sunscreen everyday now but in my younger years I laid in the sun with baby oil and made way to many visits to the sun beds, all the carelessness has caught up with me 😓
I just got Biore Watery Essence from Stylevanna. I’m on day 2 & unless I get some kind of reaction, I honestly don’t see myself using any other spf.. like.. I’m in love, it meets all my criteria & it’s like $15. Our FDA is trash & these filters desperately need to be approved.
Great Video Cassandra. I would adore it if you did a video like this on anti-aging peptide products. Peptides is one of the few ‘classes’ of skincare ingredients I’m extremely undereducated about. I’m interested in using them when I’m a bit older but I have no idea what products to choose or what to look for in a formula
I can not tell how many times I have repurchased the Australian tinted sunscreen and I'm so happy they have made even darker tints. It is an auto ship MUST for me!
Thank you for another great video! I use the Australian Gold Botanical Tinted face sunscreen a lot. :-) Could you do some more videos on affordable tinted face suncreens that are SPF 50 that will work for oily and acne prone skin?
Hey do you know if the Olay Complete UV365 Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15 is any good? My parents have been getting it so I just use it and I’m really wondering if I should just get a different one or stick to this one. Thank you so much if you take the time to respond!
You are so motivational and educational! Thank you so much for introducing me into so many different aspects of skin care from only the screen of my phone!
I absolutely love Black Girl sunscreen during winter time, but it does not work for me during Summer. I used Purito during Summer in the past. Any updates on the SPF situation (not sure if there was a closure to it). Any similar replacement? Help!!!!!
I'm interested to hear your opinion on sunscreen sprays for the face. Recently I bought La Roche-Posay Anthelios with SPF 50 and it has really good reviews, I'm going to try it today.
Since I have been taking care of my skin for the past year and a half I have given up my foundation 100% and just been using australian dream. It helps my skin feel so much!
I wonder about the low zinc oxide content of Australian Gold SPF 50. At only 4%, it seems hard for me to believe it's SPF 50. I'd appreciate any answer. I tried it last summer and it seemed to make my melasma worse.
Hi!! First off - I adore all your videos. My goodness, your science based approach and the way you present it is just the best and I've recommended you to so many people. I was wondering though, if you might consider looking at some sunscreen products that are in non-plastic packaging. (low or zero waste, if you will) I've noticed there are several brands out there these days and that makes me super happy, but I can't figure out which are the best out of the bunch from a skin science perspective, and I really trust your judgment on all things skincare. So anyway it's just a suggestion for if you have the time and think it might be a worth wile topic, but I think a lot of people would love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks again for all your amazing videos!
I'm so glad to see that the Australian Gold sunscreen is approved by you because it's been my favourite one for like two years. I'm Canadian, and I can get it for $20, so it actually is double the price for me and it's still so worth it. I also used to love the ThinkSport tinted one, and from a skin feel stand point, I still would. However, I'm super sensitive with scents - not in a reactive way, but in a 'I get nasty headaches and feel nauseous' way if they're too strong/linger. I didn't even fully get through the tube before I had to stop using it, which sucked.
I use the Australian Gold Botanical SPF 70 and it's fantastic! Really moisturizing, easy to rub in, and is very silky. And I realize that SPF 70 is probably excessive, but it works lmao
Anna, do you wear it under makeup. This has been a favorite of mine for a long time but it is all of a sudden pilling on my face. It’s driving me batshit crazy!
I just wanne say cassandra I really adore you thanks for helping me get better ...my acne is still bad but I know now hoe to look after my skin love you!!
I'm in Australia, so not sure if they're available in the U.S. My favourites are Mecca To Save Face 50+, Cancer Council SPF50+ Matte Moisturiser and anything by Ultra Violette (they are all beautiful!)
I've started trying to remember to apply it at least once a day but I just straight up cannot afford to apply it multiple times a day. I have sensitive skin as it is and it reacts really badly to SPF I can afford
I have really sensitive skin too and I use kinship self reflect spf! They have it at ulta but I usually check on the app or online just to be safe before I go in the store and look. I really hope this helps

2 things I always want to know, but no one tends to talk about: what does it smell like, and does it pill up if you touch your skin?
So THANK YOU for covering the second one!
The australian botanical (I have the non tinted version) smells like pineapple :)
@@laphrasedetrop1759 does it pill up when u touch ur face

The sunscreen market in Canada is lacklustre to say the least but I managed to find the Australian Gold after you and Liah Yoo recommended it, and I. Am. Obsessed. I’ve recommended it to so many people.
Australian Gold tinted, my secret weapon, just love it and haven't found anything that compares and the price is just right!
Hey butterflies 🦋 I found a tinted australian gold spf 50 for $7 at big lots and cvs has cerave tinted spf 30 on sale too!
A while back ( I can't remember exactly how long ago) Dr. Dray did a sunscreen recommendations video where she talked about the Olay Complete UV365 Daily Moisturizer Spf 30, oil free and formulated for sensitive skin. I've never particularly been interested in Olay product. I kind of always viewed them as being targeted toward an older age group. Anyway, I've gone through at least a dozen bottles of this stuff. I've tried several others since, even Korean and higher end ones, but I always go back to this for daily use. If I'm going to be out and about I use something a bit stronger. I'm oily and acne prone, and this gives me no issues in that department. It gives a glow, but also has a high concentration of niacinamide, which helps with oil control so I'm never greasy. It's a mixture of chemical and physical filters, so I feel like it would blend in for most people. I'm super pale, but my mom is medium olive, and my daughter is a light caramel color and we all can use it without a white cast. For $11.12 at Walmart, ya really can't go wrong. Only thing is that it's just 2.5 ounces, so I go through it pretty fast, but at that price point, I'm not really mad about that. Also, I think it's fragrance free. Physician's Formula has an spf 30 powder that I like pretty well, but like most PF products the shade range is abysmal. The Etude House Sunprise Mild Airy Finish (a mouthful of a name) may not be as easily accessible, or fragrance free, but it's affordable at around $8 or $9. It's very lightweight and non-greasy. It literally feels like nothing at all, and it plays well with makeup.
Cassandra!!!! Black girl sunscreen makes a kids spf 50 sunscreen and it's $10 for 3 oz. I love it so much, it's so moisturizing on my dry skin and doesn't burn my eyes which usually happens with american chemical sunscreens. I tested it on my boyfriend and he said it didn't burn so I had to give it a go and loved it. Saving it for winter when my skin is dryer
I needed to find a replacement for my non-cruelty-free sunscreen and this white girl 110% going for the Black Girl Sunscreen. I usually rock the dewy look so it'll do me fine, and it's super affordable. Thanks for the recommendation!
The Back Girl Sunscreen Kids is great too! SPF 50 and so moisturizing.
That's the one Dr Dray recommends because of the higher SPF but she's recommended them all.
I asked you the SFP over makeup question on Clubhouse a few months ago 😁 I still can’t believe you answered me 💜
If you have dry skin the Australian Gold tinted SPF does cling to dry patches. Use an oil and heavy moisturizer before😊
I protected the like button with sunscreen and omg it actually applied it!!!
Could you do a video about SPFs/products in general that include Cremes for ppl who don’t live in the US/ are available outside of the US ? Cause I feel like you do a lot of videos abt products that are only available in the US :D
I honestly love your Chanel so much and I feel so educated on my own skin care , but it sometimes seems US centered
Hi, I live in Spain and bought Australian Gold Botanical Tinted Face Sunscreen Lotion from Amazon
@@maramihaeladragan9544 yeah I know that I could order them, but I don’t want to order products from Amazon , that for example could have an equivalently product here in Europe that I could easily buy at a store (I live in Germany). I’d just love if Cassandra would test/comment on those popular products outside of the US. Cause there are some really good Cremes in Europe that I’d love a criticism abt from her because I trust Cassandra very much and love how she explains everything :)
I get that but not all US skin care folks are familiar with brands available in Europe. That said, there are skin care folks/derms in Europe who could be a source like Doctor Anne who's based in Germany.
@@db-gb5xi yeah I know. But like I said, I like Cassandra and for her it wouldn’t be a struggle to do research cause she’s an expert in her field and maybe she finds a new good cream for her :D
I'm in aus and I'm finding it hard to find. I found on Amazon but the medium shade one is $109!!! I thought this was an Aussie product but seems like someone's using our name :/
LOVE the Australian Gold sunscreen. Often i use that and maybe a bit of concealer for the face (plus blush and mascara). Highly recommended! 👍👍
Hi!! How thick is that sunscreen? I’m interested but I’m worried that it won’t just simply wash off with face wash?
@@religionbritt3908 it is a bit thick but i haven't had problems washing it away (double cleanse)
@@religionbritt3908 I find it goes on nicely but dries quickly so you gotta blend quick. It’s quick thick but offers amazing protection. Taking it off is annoying even for me cause it doesn’t come off the first time.
i started using coola sunscreen since i saw your video recommending it, its the only one that hasn't made my break out that I've tried. So worth the price
AHH YESSS!! Elise I am SOO happy, isn't it the BEST!?!?
You are one of the best things during quarantine 💚🐞
Black Girl Sunscreen looks amazing! Did some additional research and I'm definitely going to buy it. Natural, vegan/cruelty free and safe for reefs? It looks like it blends well for all skin tones and you also get to support a black owned company. Can't go wrong with that.
Do follow labmuffinbeautyscience on here, she’s spoken about how the whole “reef safe” label is a gimmick that a lot of brands use when the reality is that you don’t need to worry that much about the impact your skincare has on reefs. I definitely want to try out Black Girl Sunscreen though!
@@artikagunathasan4040 Maybe you personally don't have to worry that much, but I'll still pick a sunscreen that's reef safe. BGS's ingredients are definitely a winner for me.
I *JUST* bought the “value” size Supergoop. I love it, don’t get me wrong, but the first you recommended sounds lovely. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Could you do a video on how expired makeup is bad (or not) for the skin and when do certain makeup products ACTUALLY expire? And maby a video on noncomedogenic foundations with good ingredients for skin that actually won't cause acnee or clog pores? I think makeup can play a huge role in how your skin looks so I'd love to see some makeup related videos as well 💕💕
You got me good. I thought you was really knocking black girl sunscreen 😂😂😂 I think the stuff is great, but it makes me shine like a diamond, but hey, sometimes I like that.
Love seeing that Australian Gold sunscreen finally get some love from a big RUclipsr
Truee sunscreen is ridiculously expensive! Thank you for the recommendations! 🐼❤️
Omg, reminds me of the old times. Good to see your face again. I used to watch you almost everyday 😊 like 4 or 5 years ago
Omg hai hai haiiii and welcome backkkk!! It's sooo great to have you here beautiful!!!
Thank you soo much! I always wear sunscreen but couldn't stomach the pricetag of brands like supergoop anymore. Will be skipping out to buy some of these today! Just curious, you said the spf 15 was okay if you reapply. I've read Canadian studies on sunscreen that say anything less than 30 might as well be zero. What do you think? Thanks again for the video❤
Thank you!!! The Australian Gold Tinted Sunscreen is amazing. I can’t tell you how many I tried plus they have a few shades. I wore it all day Friday and I was so happy with it
YES to the Australian Gold sunscreen ❤️ The tint is too dark for me but I mix it with some of their kids sunscreen from the same line and it makes the perfect shade for me. (The brand told me to try this when I emailed them requesting more inclusive shades. Don't mix random sunscreens or you can risk them not creating a proper layer on your skin).
Omg I didn’t know I could do that! I been using the Australian gold spf 50 light tinted but it’s too dark for me.
So you’re saying I can mix it with the baby mineral and it’ll be fine since it’s the same brand ?
cassandra coming IN CLUTCH! i needed this so much, thank you!!
That Australian Gold is amazing. I have super oily skin and it doesn’t budge, doesn’t burn my eyes and makes foundation obsolete
Damn. I literally just bought sunscreen and it’s burning my eyes away 🥲
For next time, but I appreciate this! ❤️
Is it a chemical SPF?! Chemical SPF burns my eyes 😩. And knowing that, I bought a supergoop “dupe” that still burns my eyes 😅
I have that issue too! I’ve found mineral to not burn for me.
@@Chelsea-ju1ex
I think it’s the Avobenzone causing it. I’ve tried a quite a few chemical sunscreens in my day and it seems like the Avobenzone-free ones don’t sting my eyes like crazy
I like to use chemical everywhere but the eyes and use a mineral to avoid the eye sting!
That’s why I love the Australian gold no matter how bad I sweat it has never burnt my eyes
I found this very helpful thank you. I struggle knowing what drugstore skincare is good. I was wondering if you’d ever do a Walmart one? If not that’s fine. I still really enjoy this one and really appreciate you taking the time to help us find good skincare 🥰
I have been using black girl sunscreen for 2 years now. My dark patches have faded out. I put it 3 times a day when I am out and about. I highly recommend especially to mature women❤
Your channel charmed me, Cassandra, I loved her very much 🖤🖤🖤
Seeing how many people who think mineral makeup with SPF is a decent substitute for SPF lotion is upsetting me. 😖 "All sunscreens break me out so I just use the Derma-E Mineral Powder, instead." I was looking at reviews, and soooo many of them are like that! Yeesh.
I've been interested in BlackGirl sunscreen and the Australian Gold spf. Now that they've got a thumbs-up from you, I'm ready to try them in the future!
Cassandra.. i would love to know what u think about the derma e scar gel? 🥰
It was recommended to me to always go with what was described as “physical block” sunscreens (zinc oxide/titanium dioxide) vs chemical sunscreens. I was advised that the chemical sunscreens create a false sense of confidence in relation to sun protection. Can you provide some advice on this subject or explain the “false confidence” issue that others have referred to?
is the black girl sunscreen broadspectrum-spf god for skin with severe acne?
YES I LOVE THE AUSTRALIAN GOLD ONE!! I'm so happy you included it - using it right now 😁
Thanks cassandra , I ordered the Australian gold for my body not the face when I play in the sun. The other zinc moisturizers are white and sticky. I get a a bunch of bugs stuck to me on my 50 mile bike rides. Plus the bottle is a nice size to stick in my back pocket so I can reapply.
No stores near me have the black girl sunscreen! I might need to order from their website.
Hi Cassandra! Is it possible you could do a video on which sunscreens are great under makeup? I’ve tried ones that feel slippery on the skin, but then my make up moves all over the place. It’s hard to find one that works under foundation. Help?🙏🏻
I have sensitive, dry, and acne prone skin. I've never worn sunscreen mainky because I don't know which one I should get and that will work with my skin. Which one would you do you think I should try? I'm new here.
GREAT SHARE, PRETTY MUCH ALL I TRULY CARE TO SEE BEING PROMOTED RIGHT NOW!!!
I really need someone independent to do testing for the Australian Gold one. 4% Zinc oxide and 4% Titanium dioxide, when most other SPF 50 mineral sunscreens are combined 15%+, sounds too much like the Purito.
I'd check out Lab Muffin's video on SPF testing. I think Glow by Ramon has a video on SPF testing as well.
Maybe that's why we can't buy it in Australia (it's not actually made in Australia). We have really strict sunscreen standards.
Hey Cassandra what do you think about these sunscreen
- MELĒ NO SHADE Sunscreen Oil SPF 30 Broad Spectrum
- Niod Survival 30
(Niod is ordinary's sister brand)
Cassandra can you pretty please do a video recommending products for sun damaged skin? I use sunscreen everyday now but in my younger years I laid in the sun with baby oil and made way to many visits to the sun beds, all the carelessness has caught up with me 😓
I just got Biore Watery Essence from Stylevanna. I’m on day 2 & unless I get some kind of reaction, I honestly don’t see myself using any other spf.. like.. I’m in love, it meets all my criteria & it’s like $15. Our FDA is trash & these filters desperately need to be approved.
Are they vegan and cruelty free?
Glad that I can buy Altruist here in Europe. Just bought 1000 of spf 50 ***** for 25 euros 💝🥰🎊🌈
Bliss Block Star Invisible SPF 30 has become one of my favorites!
Do you have a recommended Sunscreen for Sports people? so it must be water and sweat resistant. Thanks!
Great Video Cassandra. I would adore it if you did a video like this on anti-aging peptide products.
Peptides is one of the few ‘classes’ of skincare ingredients I’m extremely undereducated about. I’m interested in using them when I’m a bit older but I have no idea what products to choose or what to look for in a formula
I can not tell how many times I have repurchased the Australian tinted sunscreen and I'm so happy they have made even darker tints. It is an auto ship MUST for me!
Thank you for another great video! I use the Australian Gold Botanical Tinted face sunscreen a lot. :-) Could you do some more videos on affordable tinted face suncreens that are SPF 50 that will work for oily and acne prone skin?
Hey do you know if the Olay Complete UV365 Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15 is any good? My parents have been getting it so I just use it and I’m really wondering if I should just get a different one or stick to this one. Thank you so much if you take the time to respond!
You are so motivational and educational! Thank you so much for introducing me into so many different aspects of skin care from only the screen of my phone!
I love Australian Gold Facial sunscreen! But what do you use for your lips?
Do you think that the tinted Australian Gold has enough percentages of physical sunscreens to be effective though?
I absolutely love Black Girl sunscreen during winter time, but it does not work for me during Summer. I used Purito during Summer in the past. Any updates on the SPF situation (not sure if there was a closure to it). Any similar replacement? Help!!!!!
I’m so excited to try black girl sunscreen! Thank you so much for adding this I had no clue!
Yes ! I use the SLMD brush on for touch ups through out the day. Just turn over tap it to make sure you get powered to come out 👍
I'm interested to hear your opinion on sunscreen sprays for the face. Recently I bought La Roche-Posay Anthelios with SPF 50 and it has really good reviews, I'm going to try it today.
I’ve been using black girl sunscreen. Doesn’t make my skin pale looking. And my skin doesn’t feel super dry under the sun.
Since I have been taking care of my skin for the past year and a half I have given up my foundation 100% and just been using australian dream. It helps my skin feel so much!
I wonder about the low zinc oxide content of Australian Gold SPF 50. At only 4%, it seems hard for me to believe it's SPF 50. I'd appreciate any answer. I tried it last summer and it seemed to make my melasma worse.
BlackGirlSunscreen has spf 50 for kids. Very similar formula. I use all the time. It’s at target and on their website.
Hi!! First off - I adore all your videos. My goodness, your science based approach and the way you present it is just the best and I've recommended you to so many people. I was wondering though, if you might consider looking at some sunscreen products that are in non-plastic packaging. (low or zero waste, if you will) I've noticed there are several brands out there these days and that makes me super happy, but I can't figure out which are the best out of the bunch from a skin science perspective, and I really trust your judgment on all things skincare. So anyway it's just a suggestion for if you have the time and think it might be a worth wile topic, but I think a lot of people would love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks again for all your amazing videos!
Well, congratulations, you got me excited over sunscreen and I'm actually going to wear it.
What are your thoughts on sun bum?? Love your videos xo
I'm so glad to see that the Australian Gold sunscreen is approved by you because it's been my favourite one for like two years. I'm Canadian, and I can get it for $20, so it actually is double the price for me and it's still so worth it. I also used to love the ThinkSport tinted one, and from a skin feel stand point, I still would. However, I'm super sensitive with scents - not in a reactive way, but in a 'I get nasty headaches and feel nauseous' way if they're too strong/linger. I didn't even fully get through the tube before I had to stop using it, which sucked.
I use the Australian Gold Botanical SPF 70 and it's fantastic! Really moisturizing, easy to rub in, and is very silky. And I realize that SPF 70 is probably excessive, but it works lmao
Anna, do you wear it under makeup. This has been a favorite of mine for a long time but it is all of a sudden pilling on my face. It’s driving me batshit crazy!
I don't wear any makeup, so I can't be of much help. Sorry!!
I just wanne say cassandra I really adore you thanks for helping me get better ...my acne is still bad but I know now hoe to look after my skin love you!!
I'm in Australia, so not sure if they're available in the U.S.
My favourites are Mecca To Save Face 50+, Cancer Council SPF50+ Matte Moisturiser and anything by Ultra Violette (they are all beautiful!)
I'm living for this upload schedule. I'm finally on timeeeee
I've started trying to remember to apply it at least once a day but I just straight up cannot afford to apply it multiple times a day. I have sensitive skin as it is and it reacts really badly to SPF I can afford
I have really sensitive skin too and I use kinship self reflect spf! They have it at ulta but I usually check on the app or online just to be safe before I go in the store and look. I really hope this helps
@@sofihomes7789 thank you for the recommendation! But I live in the UK so I can't get it here! It also looked to be way out of my budget unfortunately
