It sucks that “acne prone skin” for the overwhelming majority of the time is associated with having oily skin. 😞 It’s hard having dry/Dehydrated skin that is acne prone/sensitive.
I used to hate wearing sunscreen especially the Neutrogena one that had an overwhelming fragrance, so glad that I found the Eucerin one through Dr Dray because I use it daily now!
Yesss I agree that Eucerin daily hydration SPF 30 is a winner 👍It’s soooo freakingly good,though I order online ..thanks dra dray.Emma from Australia 🇦🇺
@@vetsai8199 is it lightweight? Do you have dry, oily or combo skin? Do you have acne? Does it have white cast? I have many questions sorry im looking for a new spf since mine is running out and i am using the sun bum one but it feels so greasy to me and i have oily/combo skin
Hi Dr. Dray, I bought the Walgreen's Sensitive Skin sunscreen after you recommended this on a previous video; it's awesome. I have atopic dermatitis, my skin is very dry and sensitive plus I live in Colorado; this sunscreen is perfect, no burning or stinging. I am a Fitzpatrick 4 skintone, I get no cast white with this sunscreen at all which is amazing. Thanks for reviewing this! :)
I really love the banana boat simply protect that is a combination sunscreen and comes in a GIANT tube for like $9. I have been able to find it everywhere, walmart target CVS Walgreens ect. It is fragrance free and water resistant.
I always, always get burnt with Banana Boat, no matter how often I thoroughly reapply it! It just seems to rinse off of my skin immediately! Although, for this reason it's been at least 20 years since I've used it, so it has likely changed. I'm just not willing to risk trying it out again.
Thanks so much for this wonderful video Dr. Dray. It is great there are so many reasonably priced sunscreens. I am 63 and have to admit that I have pretty great skin. The absolute best thing I have done for my skin is to wear sunscreen every single day of my life since I was around 35 years old. I wish I had started earlier but it is truly the best thing I have done for myself in terms of my appearance. Thanks so much for singing sunscreens praises! You are so right! 💝🐇🎄🎂🎉💝🐇🎄🎂🎉
By the way, I own a company that administers flexible spending accounts. You are so right about the sunscreen being reimbursable now! What a nice thing.💝💝
The only reason white cast is an issue is it contains zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Black Girl Sunscreen just capitalized on that by not using those filters, which hundreds of brands already didn't use. Marketing (manipulation) genius, as the kids say. As a black girl who can't use "chemical" sunscreens I was disappointed when I understood that's what is was. When they pushed it as not having a cast that showed up on dark skin I thought they put some effort into creating a "mineral " sunscreen with low/no cast. Nope, just slapped Black Girl on a basic "chemical" sunscreen.
To be honest with you, now that I am mostly at home I don't mind white casts, I have nobody to scare but my hubby and son, and they don't mind. Plus if I have to run errands out, i am camuflaged behind a mask so, white casts are no longer a problem for me, lol. So welcome mineral sunscreens!!!! Lol
Haha same here! And I loved what she said about using it for the eyes to prevent stinging and give a brightening effect, at the very least. Never thought about applying mineral sunscreen in that way.
THANK YOU for mentioning the Eucerin daily hydration cream. Last week I went to stay at a friends place and I panicked because I forgot to bring my cerave sunscreen and I had just started on Retin A. Luckily, I had the Eucerin cream in my car with me and I wasn't sure if it was okay for the face but I thought screw it, I need the protection. It turned out to be a very pleasant moisturizer + spf for the face. Did not break me out or irritate my skin at all.
Dr Dray! I had an epiphany this morning! I was thinking of you as I was applying my sunscreen and I thought, ‘Dr Dray should really develop her OWN line of sunscreen.’ All the characteristics you love and nothing you don’t. It would be perfect! ❤️
@@flxwercxrpse1871 Good morning 🌞 I definitely use about a teaspoon. Eons ago I used to measure ‘til I was able to eyeball a proper amount for my mug. I hope this was helpful 🙋🏻♀️
As a Floridian, I feel your pain on the “sweating while standing still outside for 5 minutes” thing Do you have a list of favorites updated Asian sunscreen? The last one you recommended(skin aqua) was fantastic but hard to get on Amazon sometimes.
I’m not trying to be sarcastic but genuinely want to know why Asian skincare is better? What is so much better about it or are people like you generally interested in it simply because it’s Asian?
@@calliemendoza8563 personally I like asian skincare for hydration or repairing my skin but I like western for targeted concerns like acne. for sunscreens tho..yes Japanese sunscreens are a million times better. the formulations are so much more wearable with or without makeup BUT the thing that sucks about Japanese sunscreens are that they are so small and sometimes not affordable since u have to buy sometimes 3 bottles a month. Asian skincare is affordable and u can find so many different options unlike western.
@@calliemendoza8563 for me I like knowing the UVA protection I'm getting! Sure SPF is important but I want to know the specific UVA protrction. American sunscreens are wayyyyyyy behind the pack in this regard! Using a sunscreen with PA or PPD rating is my preference and Asian sunscreens provide that, along with stable UVA filters not approved in the US.
In Australia there are NO cheap zinc sunscreens. I've been following Dr Dray's advice already for a while - using a tinted zinc sunscreen just for the eyes and whatever cheap chemical I'm into for everywhere else. Great tip.
Yay for affordable sunscreens! I really hate how expensive some sunscreens are. If you take into consideration that we should wear them everyday just like we brush out teeth everyday, sunscreens should be much more affordable. Imagine paying $30 for a toothpaste? 😷
I actually do apply a mineral sunscreen around the eyes, and a chemical for the rest of my face. that way I don't have eye irritation and not white cast all over my face!
Tried the Walgreens Sensitive Skin sunscreen and love it! Even better than Elta MD and you can't beat the price. Thank you so much for the recommendation.
@@tahreemsheikh7582 I recently got the last sensitive skin one on the shelf at this Walgreens and when I got home realized it's expiry date was this month and didn't even have a safety seal, not sure this was normal.
Ah yeah. Also the Hill Country Fare brand from HEB, too. She lives in Houston, so there should be an HEB in her area. I discovered one of my favorite Webtoon artists was from the Texas region when I saw a sour cream container from HEB.
I use a mineral sunscreen around my eyes and then apply my chemical sunscreen to the rest of my face and finally no more irritation and no white cast. The mineral sunscreen stick is even more convenient.
I thoroughly love how you explain and break down the ingredients and how to apply/ or use the product and who can use. You think of men and women and every skin tone. I thank you and appreciate your videos that are very informative and budget conscious.
I wish these Suncreens were available in India too (it is expensive because of Shipping Price), the one I use is almost these Sunscreens' Price but, heavy white cast and most of the Chemical Sunscreen irritates my face Happy Sunday Dr Dray ❤
For those in the UK...Altruist Sunscreen is available on Amazon £8.00 for 200ml. It's amazing (uses both chemical and mineral filters) no fragrance and super affordable :)
I start every morning with my Eucerin Daily + spf 30! I have sensitive skin that reddens easily and I’ve been so pleased with this. Thanks for the rec Dr. Dray!
@@mindyzuckerman936 ,I have used the it that way. I have another sunscreen I use on my face every morning but I have replied the Walgreens Hydrating on my face and neck when I needed to re apply and it's all I had. It's less than $5.00 so definitely worth a try. Ive repurchased countless times.
My Walgreens is just a short drive away, but to an area where I otherwise I have no other errands to run. The l sensitive skin SPF 50 is my absolute favorite. I’m fair with an olive toned skin, and I see absolutely no cast whatsoever! The price is right too!
@@tiradomaribel9436 I don’t think it’s oily, per se. It does have some kind of dimethicone or silicone in it which I suppose could make it feel oily to some people. I don’t use make up on my skin, and I don’t notice any issue when I use mascara or powdered eyeshadow as eye liner. Walgreens has a good return policy, but check that with your local store.
I have the Banana Boat Sunscreen for my arms and legs whenever I where shorts. I’ve seen you recommend it before on a few other vids, thank you Dr Dray!
Last year I bought the Walgreens Clear Complexion 50 and applied it in the morning to my face but avoided the eye area. I went on a walk and the sunscreen ran down to my eye area with sweat and I experienced the worst eye irritation in my eyes. I could barely walk home because my eyes were blurry, runny with tears, and it burned so bad. I loved the sunscreen as it didn't leave a white cast but for me I will never apply it to my face again. I wear a lot of brands of sunscreen and for some reason that one did not work better.
I am ready to go on a long car trip, I have purchased the euceeine cream, banana boat hair and scalp, and cotz spf 50, lip balm spf 30. My husband has learned not to ask any more about why so many sun screens. He knows Andrea recommended and that is green light to uses. Thanks for this particular topic. Is good to have good prodigar affordable prices. Thanks for all your time, dedication and great education that you are providing about skin care.😍🥰😃
My sunscreen (coppertone spf 50 pure & simple lotion) wasn’t on the list of sunscreens tested for benzene. Should we only use ones that have been tested with no benzene detected, or should we simply avoid ones that are confirmed to be contaminated? I ask because I really like this product and don’t wanna throw it out if I don’t have to 🙂
I’ve had the same question/concern! I DM’d a company or two on Instagram about it but haven’t gotten a reply yet and would probably be more interested in her insight anyway!
@@jessicazelaya5630 i would think there could be benzene in any product.. excluding those in the valisure study as not detected. I would appreciate her opinion more than others as well. Ive looked in several stores for the ones that didn't have benzene and haven't been able to find one with the same lot number and expiration.
I think you've talked about this briefly in one of your Dollar Tree videos but the Max Block sunscreen that they have is a great option if you're really on a budget. It does have fragrance (though not migraine-inducing, in my experience) and it does have oxybenzone but it's water-resistant, isn't too greasy nor sticky, and gets the job done.
I think I finally found a sunscreen I like to use. It’s the Walgreens spf 30 hydrating sunscreen lotion and I like how it applies without being too thick like other sunscreens 🙌
'Banana Boat® Simply Protect™ Faces Sunscreen Lotion' is a good sunscreen too for under $10! And it's great for sensitive skin! I've been using this for a few months and like it a lot. It's a combination sunscreen, SPF 50. It is moisturizing -- in these hot months I haven't been needing any moisturizer underneath it.
Yay for affordable sunscreen! I have used the Walgreens one per your recommendation a few years ago and really like it. Thanks Dr Dray! Happy Tuesday!! Hope you have a peaceful evening. 💚
I got that Eucerin product for a basic everyday body sunscreen for summer and I LOVE IT. Fantastic recommendation. I’ve put it on my sons (3 & 5) also and I need something that rubs in quickly and it works great!
Great options, no excuse to not apply sunscreen folks, I can say I learned my lesson thru Dr Dray videos. Nowadays sunscreen and reapplication is a must for me. It's never too late, lol
Thank you for the recommendation. I gave my boyfriend my spf cus he doesn’t have one lol and he was doing PT at work and was sweating and his little eyes were burning 🥵 picking one up at cvs today for both of us!
I have to use a mineral based sunscreen...no stinging at all for me and pretty much no cast💜 I think it's considered a combo sunscreen?? But works great for me
Kroger sunscreen invisible gel is B💣MB for my sensitive, combination, acne prone, brown skin! Great alone & under makeup. No irritation, breakouts, white cast and controls oil.
I recently started using eucerin daily hydration sunscreen,, it feels great on my skin. But i feel it clogs my pores. Could a product clog your pores when it claims it’s non comedogenic?
What ingredient gives that gross sunscreen smell? I have a hard time with American chemical sunscreens because they smell so bad, I was wondering if it’s a particular UV filter they use like avobenzone
I didn’t know that people disliked the smell. I associate it with summertime vacations and it is a nostalgic smell for me. I don’t know the reason for it though lol
Yes, Dr.Dray please tell us why all sunscreens have that stinky smell. If there is any that you could recommend but don't have that stinky ingredient, I would greatly appreciate it! I'm sure a bunch of people could agree, & would love a recommendation... if any even exist LOL. Thank you so much for all your wonderful informative content! I have learned so much as a subscriber of your Channel! If you could please help those of us who hate the identical stench, that we have to smell from our sunscreen everyday😖. THANKS SO MUCH🤗!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Coppertone's mineral sunscreen will go on sale for 8 dollars sometimes - worth a grab if you see it discounted! Doesn't leave a heavy cast on darker skin tones, but it is a little sticky before it dries.
I clicked so fast! I just love my sunscreen!! And all mine are drugstore and I absolutely love them. I didn’t know about the kroger brand supergoop dupe, what?! Going to pick it up.
I promise that I don’t work for H‑E‑B, but being a Texas Hill Country girl I totally love them. They have a new mineral sunscreen with oat extracts that’s super cheap and awesome. I’m so white that I glow in the dark so there’s no cast on me, but it’s super casty on the darkest of my little guerritos.
Hi Dr. Dray, would you consider doing a video on Melanotan (afamelanotide) for tanning as prescribed by doctors for the use of tanning and its potential health benefits and risks?
HELLO MUCH APPRECIATED AS ALWAYS 4 Ur knowledge! ??? Do I put lotion on and then the 🌞 screen or just sun screen as I wait 4 Ur answer I GUESS I will do a try out & since THANK U inexpensive I WILL BE ABLE 2 TRY 2 or even 3 items 2 see what works out! ❤
Excellent video, so nice to see a variety of Uber affordable sunscreens featured.😊 Incidentally I picked up the sheer tint mineral CeraVe sunscreen you featured some time ago, and was pleasantly surprised. I tried the untinted mineral CeraVe sunscreen and was very disappointed by the white cast which this does not have at all. Saving this vid for future reference, as Texas summer is here and Im looking for a non-sticky body sunscreen. Thanks for the inspiration! 🌸
Love all the info definitely will try some of these sunscreens.. My must have skincare product. I currently use Sun Bum Spf 50 for the face not sticky or greasy and I have combination / oily skin.
Could you please share your thoughts on Blue Lizard sunscreen? Its the only one I have been using the past few years but I’d like to know if you think its a good brand/safe.
Loved This Video Dr. Dray!! Sunscreen Reviews are One of my Favorite, This is Kind of Off the Subject, But Sometimes Soon Could You Do a Cooking Video?? I Love Your Recipies!! Thank You!! Love and Hugs!! Always!! Xoxoxo
The ingredients listed on the CVS website for the CVS Health Kids Sun Lotion shows that this product contains Ethylhexyl Methoxycrylene, which is a chemical sunscreen. This is not a pure mineral sunscreen.
YAY!!!!! Have been waiting for this! THANK YOU, THANK YOU , THANK YOU!!!!!💜💜💜💜💜 Just ordered 2 of the Walgreen's tubes, and the 2nd was half off!!!! Going back to order 2 more right now! I also found the Equate (Walmart) brand baby SPF 50 which is a combo one and a giant tube also for around $4. Thank you so much for doing this for us! It helps soooo much!!!!!
I HIGHLY recommend the Baby Bum (from the Sun Bum brand) mineral spf 50. Its not heavy, has very little white cast, affordable, and doesn't clog my pores.
I have extremely pale skin and my acne always heals with a mark. The marks I get are deep red/pink. I get them even when I do not touch the pimples at all. Is this the same thing as the post inflammatory hyperpigmentation darker skin tones experience?
Post Inflammatory Erythema (PIE) is red marks that appear after acne or other injuries to the skin heal. It typically appears on fair skin (Fitzpatrick Phototypes I & II).
I love love the eucerin daily hydration! Found it through Dr Dray and have been wearing it daily. I am between zoe saldana and freida pinto skin tone and there is no cast at all. Its not sticky and the smell is not overwhelming like others.
@@arianavelasquez4186 Dr Dray has said you can use the body on the face and the face on the body. Just test to see if you have any kind of reaction/irritation.
This would be a great series! Fill-in-the-blank step in a skin care routine (cleanser, moisturizer, serum, etc..) under $10, $15, or $20
yes!!!
I’m here for it
i support this🙌🏼
Omg yess!!! ❤️✌🏼

It sucks that “acne prone skin” for the overwhelming majority of the time is associated with having oily skin. 😞 It’s hard having dry/Dehydrated skin that is acne prone/sensitive.
Dr Dray does have videos on dry acne.
one can have oily skin and at the same time, dehydrated skin. me for example :)
oily skin is not equal to over moisturised skin
Yes that’s my life!
There are a lot of Korean products that are geared towards dehydrates/dry/sensitive
I’m at the point in my skincare journey where I don’t care if I see the white cast on my legs all day long
That's the spirit!!

The white cast matches the color of my leg.

I could barely walk home because my eyes were blurry, runny with tears, and it burned so bad. I loved the sunscreen as it didn't leave a white cast but for me I will never apply it to my face again. I wear a lot of brands of sunscreen and for some reason that one did not work better.
Which ones do you like?
Dr Dray is a lifesaver!
I bought Eucerin and love how hydrating it is. I use it on my arms and legs everyday! Thank you!
I am ready to go on a long car trip, I have purchased the euceeine cream, banana boat hair and scalp, and cotz spf 50, lip balm spf 30. My husband has learned not to ask any more about why so many sun screens. He knows Andrea recommended and that is green light to uses. Thanks for this particular topic. Is good to have good prodigar affordable prices. Thanks for all your time, dedication and great education that you are providing about skin care.😍🥰😃
That Eucerin is no joke. Absolute value at least for everyday use and reapplication? Great save really.
It it for face and for oily skin
My sunscreen (coppertone spf 50 pure & simple lotion) wasn’t on the list of sunscreens tested for benzene. Should we only use ones that have been tested with no benzene detected, or should we simply avoid ones that are confirmed to be contaminated? I ask because I really like this product and don’t wanna throw it out if I don’t have to 🙂
I have the same question! This is the only one i have found that i can tolerate reapplying all day lol
I like this one a lot too!
I’ve had the same question/concern! I DM’d a company or two on Instagram about it but haven’t gotten a reply yet and would probably be more interested in her insight anyway!
@@jessicazelaya5630 i would think there could be benzene in any product.. excluding those in the valisure study as not detected. I would appreciate her opinion more than others as well. Ive looked in several stores for the ones that didn't have benzene and haven't been able to find one with the same lot number and expiration.
I love Coppertone Pure and Simple! It plays well with my makeup (if I'm wearing any) and goes on nice without tugging 😊🍁
I think you've talked about this briefly in one of your Dollar Tree videos but the Max Block sunscreen that they have is a great option if you're really on a budget. It does have fragrance (though not migraine-inducing, in my experience) and it does have oxybenzone but it's water-resistant, isn't too greasy nor sticky, and gets the job done.
it's crazy that Dr. Dray lives in the same city as me!!!! 😅 I'm so happy because I really needed new sunscreens to try
I think I finally found a sunscreen I like to use. It’s the Walgreens spf 30 hydrating sunscreen lotion and I like how it applies without being too thick like other sunscreens 🙌
'Banana Boat® Simply Protect™ Faces Sunscreen Lotion' is a good sunscreen too for under $10! And it's great for sensitive skin! I've been using this for a few months and like it a lot. It's a combination sunscreen, SPF 50. It is moisturizing -- in these hot months I haven't been needing any moisturizer underneath it.
Banana boat is the best absolutely no white cast !!!! Buy itttt
Sunscreen shopping isle can be pretty overwhelming once in person. This vid is extremely helpful!
I love combination sunscreens. I will definitely try the Walgreens combination sunscreen! Can you make a video of just combination sunscreen?
So grateful for you Dr. Dray. You don’t push 1 ounce bottles that cost over 30 dollars as recommendations. We don’t deserve you.
much needed this! thank you as always Dr. Drayyy 💖
Thanks for watching
I'm surprised you didnt include Coppertone Pure and Simple Pure Botanicals! I love this stuff and it was $7
Just by the name alone (never tried it or looked it up), I'd say it's because of any essential oils/fragrances included in the formula.
@@toBe8ere She's actually recommended it in other videos! I started using it because of her
@@toBe8ere There is no essential oils or fragrances in it.
Don’t forget Trader Joe’s! Their fragrance free water resistant chemical spf 30 is AMAZING and under 10$ and in a big tube
Unfortunately, I found this one to really sting the eyes! I only use it on the body. A good buy, though.
Thanks for all the lower cost suggestions. Really appreciate you!
Yay for affordable sunscreen! I have used the Walgreens one per your recommendation a few years ago and really like it. Thanks Dr Dray! Happy Tuesday!! Hope you have a peaceful evening. 💚
I got that Eucerin product for a basic everyday body sunscreen for summer and I LOVE IT. Fantastic recommendation. I’ve put it on my sons (3 & 5) also and I need something that rubs in quickly and it works great!
Great options, no excuse to not apply sunscreen folks, I can say I learned my lesson thru Dr Dray videos. Nowadays sunscreen and reapplication is a must for me. It's never too late, lol
I just bought the Eucerin one after using the face lotion and loving it. Both are staples for me now. Happy Tuesday 🌺
My skin has done a major 360 since ive found you! Thank you sm✌
Thank you for the recommendation. I gave my boyfriend my spf cus he doesn’t have one lol and he was doing PT at work and was sweating and his little eyes were burning 🥵 picking one up at cvs today for both of us!
Is the banana boat sport mineral sunscreen good for oily skin and under makeup? 💗💗💗
OMG thank you for bringing up FSA! I had no idea sunscreen counts!!
I have to use a mineral based sunscreen...no stinging at all for me and pretty much no cast💜 I think it's considered a combo sunscreen?? But works great for me
Loving your colorful shirts lately!
Kroger sunscreen invisible gel is B💣MB for my sensitive, combination, acne prone, brown skin! Great alone & under makeup. No irritation, breakouts, white cast and controls oil.
FINALLY ! I couldn't wait to see this video 😝. I've been waiting to hear Dr. Drays thoughts on the kroger sunscreen.
I just got home from walgreens and they were out of the sensitive one! I'll keep checking.
I recently started using eucerin daily hydration sunscreen,, it feels great on my skin. But i feel it clogs my pores. Could a product clog your pores when it claims it’s non comedogenic?
What ingredient gives that gross sunscreen smell? I have a hard time with American chemical sunscreens because they smell so bad, I was wondering if it’s a particular UV filter they use like avobenzone
I was wondering what caused that smell too. Especially since it smells the same for both chemical and mineral sunscreens.
I didn’t know that people disliked the smell. I associate it with summertime vacations and it is a nostalgic smell for me. I don’t know the reason for it though lol
Yes, Dr.Dray please tell us why all sunscreens have that stinky smell. If there is any that you could recommend but don't have that stinky ingredient, I would greatly appreciate it! I'm sure a bunch of people could agree, & would love a recommendation... if any even exist LOL. Thank you so much for all your wonderful informative content! I have learned so much as a subscriber of your Channel! If you could please help those of us who hate the identical stench, that we have to smell from our sunscreen everyday😖. THANKS SO MUCH🤗!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve always wondered this as well. I don’t like that smell, either!
@@shayf.7658 🙋♀️me too. I don't understand why my husband hates the smell of sunscreen, yet I enjoy it. 🤔
Holy cow, I'm on my 3rd tube of that WG sunscreen! Works on my face, isn't weirdly oily...love it!
I've used the Walgreens clear for about 8 months I do think its pretty good
Coppertone's mineral sunscreen will go on sale for 8 dollars sometimes - worth a grab if you see it discounted! Doesn't leave a heavy cast on darker skin tones, but it is a little sticky before it dries.
Hi Dr Dray, I really like Isispharma's sunscreens, what do you think of them? Thank you!
I clicked so fast! I just love my sunscreen!! And all mine are drugstore and I absolutely love them. I didn’t know about the kroger brand supergoop dupe, what?! Going to pick it up.
I use Walgreens from your recommendation in past videos. I buy as many as I can find so good!!!
I promise that I don’t work for H‑E‑B, but being a Texas Hill Country girl I totally love them. They have a new mineral sunscreen with oat extracts that’s super cheap and awesome. I’m so white that I glow in the dark so there’s no cast on me, but it’s super casty on the darkest of my little guerritos.
Hi Dr. Dray, would you consider doing a video on Melanotan (afamelanotide) for tanning as prescribed by doctors for the use of tanning and its potential health benefits and risks?
it is prescribed for people with porphyria
HELLO MUCH APPRECIATED AS ALWAYS 4 Ur knowledge! ??? Do I put lotion on and then the 🌞 screen or just sun screen as I wait 4 Ur answer I GUESS I will do a try out & since THANK U inexpensive I WILL BE ABLE 2 TRY 2 or even 3 items 2 see what works out! ❤
I am SO UPSET they discontinued the Walgreens sunscreen!! It was my absolute favorite!!
Excellent video, so nice to see a variety of Uber affordable sunscreens featured.😊 Incidentally I picked up the sheer tint mineral CeraVe sunscreen you featured some time ago, and was pleasantly surprised. I tried the untinted mineral CeraVe sunscreen and was very disappointed by the white cast which this does not have at all. Saving this vid for future reference, as Texas summer is here and Im looking for a non-sticky body sunscreen. Thanks for the inspiration! 🌸
My God! I Love this Womannnn!!! She always has content about my queries! And being from Pakistan she's literally saviour at times for skin concerns
Love all the info definitely will try some of these sunscreens.. My must have skincare product. I currently use Sun Bum Spf 50 for the face not sticky or greasy and I have combination / oily skin.
HI Dr Dray! Can you recommend good sunscreen for people with Acne both with Oily & Dry skin? Thank you
Yay this is awesome! Please keep this series going 🌸🌸
P.S. notification team 🥳
Could you please share your thoughts on Blue Lizard sunscreen? Its the only one I have been using the past few years but I’d like to know if you think its a good brand/safe.
Sunscreen on a budget . Thanks Dr. Dray 🤍🌸
Loved This Video Dr. Dray!! Sunscreen Reviews are One of my Favorite, This is Kind of Off the Subject, But Sometimes Soon Could You Do a Cooking Video?? I Love Your Recipies!! Thank You!! Love and Hugs!! Always!! Xoxoxo
Greetings Jackie Marsh hope u r well n Happy Tuesday😀👍💜....
Hi Dr Dray, thanks for another great video. Can you do a video on counteracting hair loss that comes with aging?
See my videos on hormonal hair loss
The ingredients listed on the CVS website for the CVS Health Kids Sun Lotion shows that this product contains Ethylhexyl Methoxycrylene, which is a chemical sunscreen. This is not a pure mineral sunscreen.
It's probably a combination one.
Dr. Dray, you’re my go to for sensitive skin care
YAY!!!!! Have been waiting for this! THANK YOU, THANK YOU , THANK YOU!!!!!💜💜💜💜💜 Just ordered 2 of the Walgreen's tubes, and the 2nd was half off!!!! Going back to order 2 more right now! I also found the Equate (Walmart) brand baby SPF 50 which is a combo one and a giant tube also for around $4. Thank you so much for doing this for us! It helps soooo much!!!!!
I HIGHLY recommend the Baby Bum (from the Sun Bum brand) mineral spf 50. Its not heavy, has very little white cast, affordable, and doesn't clog my pores.
I have extremely pale skin and my acne always heals with a mark. The marks I get are deep red/pink. I get them even when I do not touch the pimples at all. Is this the same thing as the post inflammatory hyperpigmentation darker skin tones experience?
Its called "PIE" & she has videos on it. The most recent one is 2 months ago.
Post Inflammatory Erythema (PIE) is red marks that appear after acne or other injuries to the skin heal. It typically appears on fair skin (Fitzpatrick Phototypes I & II).
Hi Dr Dray, how do you feel about Coppertone Kids Tear Free SPF 50. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you mention this brand? Thank you so much.☀️👒
I will be heading out to the store to purchase one of these. Thank you💕💯
Sunscreen is the most important product to use on the planet 🌎
I love love the eucerin daily hydration! Found it through Dr Dray and have been wearing it daily. I am between zoe saldana and freida pinto skin tone and there is no cast at all. Its not sticky and the smell is not overwhelming like others.
Is it okay to put it on the face? Or do you buy the face lotion?
@@arianavelasquez4186 Dr Dray has said you can use the body on the face and the face on the body. Just test to see if you have any kind of reaction/irritation.
Yes you can, I personally just avoid my eye area because towards the end of the day I’ve felt some slight burning.
Black Girl Sunscreen Kids spf50 is also fantastic and right at $9/10 ☺️
