What sunscreen do you use?

Basking in the sun in Copenhagen

For years I had the perfect sunscreen - Clarins UV Plus HP Day Screen. It was a 100% mineral sunscreen with a high SPF (40), but it was silky to apply, and was more like putting on moisturizer than sunscreen. It felt light on the skin, wasn't greasy, didn't leave the dreaded white-cast, and never broke me out. But recently they changed the formula and added a chemical sunscreen to it, which my skin just can't tolerate.

I've been on the hunt for a good all-mineral sunscreen replacement, but have come up short. I tried La Roche Posay Anthelios Mineral Tinted Ultra-Fluid Lotion, but found the tint too dark for my skin. I'm currently alternating between Clinique SPF50 Mineral Sunscreen Fluid for Face and Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Face Mineral Sunscreen but don't really like either. They're both thick, don't blend as easily, and, well, feel like sunscreen. I've heard good things about Beautycounter, but I don't think their sunscreens are available in Canada.

Any good recommendations out there?

  1. Thanks for highlighting how important daily sunscreen is for protecting and maintaining beautiful skin by preventing sun damage and uneven tone! For those also dealing with boxscarfrom past breakouts, visiting an acne scar center can be a great step alongside proper sun care to improve texture and confidence even more. Always pairing good SPF habits with professional support helps keep skin smooth and healthy.
