I forgot to mention that Sephora's limited edition Sun Safety Kit is now available! For $39.00 you get $185.00 worth of SPFs to try. AND it supports the Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Super Cool and a special thank you to Sharon C for reminding me...I forgot to mention it in my video! Here is a link: shop-links.co/cg9zriXgxwQ I just got mine in the mail yesterday...I can't wait to play with it...I may have to do a part 2 (and 3) SPF roundup! It comes with the following products...they tend to sell out quickly... 0.67 oz/ 20 mL Biossance Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 PA+++ - 0.24 oz/ 7 mL Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 50 - 0.33 oz/ 10 mL Dr. Jart Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30 - 0.3 oz/ 10 mL Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Sunscreen SPF 50 - 0.33 oz/ 10 mL Innis Free Daily UV Defense Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 36 - 0.14 oz/ 4 mL Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Drops - 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream SPF 30 - 1 oz/ 30 mL Dr. Dennis Gross All-Physical Lightweight Wrinkle Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 30 - 0.33 oz/ 10 mL Lancome UV Expert Aquagel Defense Sunscreen, Primer & Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 50 - 1 oz/ 30 mL Clinique Pep- Start Daily UV Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 50 - 0.23 oz/ 7 mL Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion SPF 50+ Sunscreen - 0.17 oz/ 5 mL Sunday Riley Light Hearted SPF 30 Sunscreen - 0.5 oz/ 15 mL Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 PA+++ - 0.23 oz/ 7 mL Fenty Skin Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen - 0.34 oz/ 10 mL Cay Skin Isle Glow Face Lotion SPF 45
Love drmtlgy tinted moisturizer spf44 so elegant and never pills. Australian gold spf 50 is great but overkill in our winters to use a waterproof sunscreen that is heck to get off. Like the cerave tinted spf 50 hjust don't like the tint.... too orange for me. But love the formulation.
Yeah I love the Australian Gold but it's pain take off. Works better for people who sweat a lot or in the water I also like the elta tinted and can't wait to try the DRMTLY(?).
My 2 favorites are Australian Gold tinted (very affordable and serves as foundation as well!) and Coola tinted (goes on like silk, but is expensive) Most important to me, they are both CRUELTY FREE.
Yes... Australian Gold very good too.. I always have that on hand, but in say , winter, it is a wee bit drying to my skin..and I use the Coola hydrating water mist sunscreen to refresh my sunscreen during the day as well as under artificial light as it blocks blue light damage as well as UVA/UBA
I agree cruelty free is a must! If more people saw the painful things done to animals in the name of 'testing' they would insist in no more cruel torture of animals.
FYI for your subscribers: my dermatologist told me that a frequent missed sunscreen area is just below the ears on the neck. This area gets hit with the sun. Sure enough, I have a mole there that we are keeping an eye on.
$13.99 for 3 oz at Target beats Aveeno. It may not be the best for dry skin but for the price I won’t use anything else. Protecting ourselves from skin cancer shouldn’t be so horribly expensive like so many SPF’s are.
It is always such a pleasure to collab with you! Thank you! Loved this video. Very in- depth and great choices. I really want to try the Tasha. Love you xx
I have the tatcha product it is lovely BUT the packaging is cheap cheap CHEAP. The packaging peels within days. I can see it already with your packaging toward the bottom Tamara. At this price point it is remarkable this made it through tatcha’s QR process. So frustrating!
I like Elta MD but only the tinted. I tried another and didn't realize the untinted had different ingredients and my skin reacted to it. Good to have some more to investigate
Love Dermatolgy tinted sunscreen! I use moisturizer under it & it gives a soft glow with light coverage. It feels light on & No white haze. I live in California and my dermatologist says “the best sunscreen is the one you use!”
Thank you Tamara! I have never used any of these sunscreens but I'm definitely a sunscreen wearer. I appreciate these reviews and will try some of them! My "ride or die" sunscreen is Colorscience which, I know is also one of your tried and true's. It's just perfect for my dry skin without being too dewy as well. I also love Claudia's channel! Happy May!
I used to spend a fortune on small bottles of facial sunscreen but I’d go through one a week (I’m as fair as people get so I’m very careful with the sun) then I used the big 1lt Nivea moisture sunscreen I put on my 4yr old and it was amazing! It’s all I use now and I can layer as many times a day as I want without worrying about the cost
I have a Fair/Light completion, w/ Dry skin &I used to wear the Elta MD tintedSPF but it's too dark then I tried Mychelle Liquid Sun Shield SPF 50 in Light I love 💕 it!! It's a lighter tint + matte it'll be perfect for summer!!
@@sonjaforrester9255 hi Sonja, unfortunately I personally find the MyChelke pretty drying on my dry skin most of the year. Occasionally I can wear it in the summer when it’s quite hit and humid. In general I do think it’s better for more normal, combo or oily skin. I love the fact it comes in different tint shades. I sometimes add a few drops to tint an untinted SPF or lighten the tint on a tinted one.
I had high hopes for the Origins Ginzing Energy-Boosting Tinted Moisturizer Spf40, tried & was a Fail for me.....But luv luv my FAV is Dr.DennisGross All-Physical Lightweight Wrinkle Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF30 hands down, pairs perfectly with my everyday makeup 💙 thanks for a great video dear! Happy Mother's Day to you & All Lovely Moms 😊
Thank you for the roundup Tamara! I've used Aveeno and La Roche Posay for years. I've recently started using Supergoop in Unseen which I'm loving as it's a gel formula. Have a great week my friend! 💕
I absolutely love your sunscreen reviews. I have specific sunscreen needs. I have to have all mineral, water resistant, 50SPF, and affordable (readily available). Currently I am layering my banana boat sensitive mineral with my Australian Gold tinted sunscreen. The banana boat sounds exactly like the Aveeno but it’s only $8.59 for 3 oz. I usually use a full 1/4 teaspoon then top it off with a small amount of the Australian Gold to take down the white cast and tackiness if I’m not wearing foundation. I also use a stippling brush to apply makes it way easier to massage in.
I really enjoy the EltaMD UV Restore as my fall/winter sunscreen and the EltaMD UV Phsical and the EltaMD UV Elements as my spring/summer sunscreens. All of these are tinted and work beautifully for a natural makeup look and the work nicely under my tints and foundations!
I use the mineral Dermtlgy and it’s perfect for me. I am going to purchase the Aveeno on your recommendation as I usually use a light foundation over my sunscreen. Thank you!
I have very dry, sensitive skin and cannot use chemical sunscreens. My very favorite sunscreen is Drmtlgy Physical SPF 44. Some days I just use that and no foundation. It gives me much needed hydration.
So glad someone else enjoys the Aveeno! Like many Aveeno products, to me it's soothing. I'm quite fair and after the drydown, sometimes I skip makeup. Thanks for a thorough well rounded video!
Really great roundup! For any fellow Costco members out there, on their website they sell a 2-pack of the 1.7 oz MDSolarSciences spf! I recently picked it up and am really liking it so far. 💕
I’ve tried a few this year that I thought were decent. Josie Maran Sun Milk - though it’s very, very moisturizing, and the Tula mineral one, which needs a light moisturizer underneath. If I had to choose, it would be Tula. I apply it over a moisturizing serum. A chemical sunscreen that I think is great, alone or under makeup, is the Tula Ptotect+Glow - but sadly, it has citrus oils in it, so I won’t be buying it again, and I can’t put any chemical sunscreen around my eyes - so I usually use a mineral sunscreen around my eyes and a chemical one for my face and neck.
Wow, i didn't realize the suggested amount we need to use is so much product! I've always used an even layer on my face, but I don't think I've ever applied such a thick coat.
I just watched your Sephora Sun Safety Review...they sure sell out quickly! Glad I ordered early becuae of your recommendation! We are all SPF obsessed LOL!
My dermatologist says that the SPF in foundation is adequate for when you are indoors or out and about running errands. He said that you don't need to load on additional sunscreen unless you are going to be in the direct sun for an extended period of time.
Interesting! That seems very much contradictory to what my aesthetic dermatologist recommends. I suppose on a cloudy day where you are not outside you are unlikely to burn, SPF or no SPF. The foundation I have with the highest SPF is IT CC Cream with SPF 50. However, it would take 5+ pumps to get the SPF 50 which would look pretty crazy...I usually use between 1/2 pump and 1 pump...which would give me a 10 SPF at the most. Most foundations have SPF 20ish or so....the amount used would probably offer way less than a 10 SPF. For me...I do struggle with sunspots appearing on my cheeks and even a little bit of sun seems to darken them. Also, my house has huge south and east windows so I get tons of sunlight in my house. I walk my dog a couple of times a day and always seem to need to do a few errands...even when I was working full time in an office I had a 40 minute commute which gave me lots of sun exposure while driving. In the summer months...my skin does get a little bit of color even with daily SPF. So...my preference and recommendation is to include a good SPF into my morning skin care...I'm working too hard on treating my age spots to risk sun exposure undoing all my expensive serums, creams and treatments. Having said all that...if you don't have any specific concerns...far be it from me to disagree with what your dermatologists recommendations for you. Thank you fo sharing ❤️
I believe he was referring to skin cancer, which is why I was seeing him. I told him my foundation has SPF 40. He's a dude, so it is likely that he doesn't realize that we only put on a thin layer. I am curious if any other viewers have asked their medical dermatologist about sunscreen, and what their response has been. I am 66 and I was one of those sun bathers at the beach in California in my teens and would lay in the sun for hours while slathering on Baby Oil and Coco Butter. Now as an adult, I have had a couple little skin cancer spots on my nose. Because my derm said that the foundation was adequate, I haven't been using sunscreen (unless outside for a long time), but I probably should, especially because I live in Arizona! I just don't like it, and don't like how my foundation looks over it. My mindset is....I only have a few good years left, so what the heck! I will die before there is any noticeable damage! LOL
Oh my gosh....if I lived in AZ with a history of skin cancer I would for sure wear SPF everyday. I found a super lovely Sunscreen last year....Can Make Mermaid Sun Gel. It is a Japanese hybrid (meaning it has chemical and physical screens in it). It is super light weight, applies and feels just like a moisturizer. Totally clear and makeup wears beautifully over it. Also super affordable. It comes in white and clear so if you order it make sure you get the clear. It's the sunscreen I use when I am testing foundations because it doesn't change the tint or the finish of the foundation. Here is a link if you want to check it out: amzn.to/3PaqYmz
Thank you so much Tamara! I am going to stop being lazy about it and try your recommendation! I really enjoy your channel, and hope that you will do more foundation reviews too.
Thank you so much. I have never heard of some of these. I am loving the DRMTLGY universal tinted sunscreen 46. It is one of my favourites. Looking forward to trying some of these onesie you mentioned. 😊
Hi Tamara as someone with severely dry, rosacea and eczema prone skin spf is a bit of a struggle tbh. I do wear it, but really struggle with chemical spfs and many mineral spfs are so drying on my skin - it's a real battle to find something that works for me. My top 4 are: Skinceuticals mineral spf50 lotion (full price £42 for 50mls) - this works the best for me tbh, but it's expensive and isn't the best in humid weather. For the colder months however it is a firm favourite. I wear the untinted as I'm super pale, but it is available in a medium tinted version. Paula's choice calm mineral spf30 normal/dry (£32 for 60mls full price) - my staple during the cooler months or in a full rosacea flare. It never stings/burns and isn't drying on the skin. Strangely the dry skin version is more drying than the calm version on me. Avene mineral spf50 (full price £18 for 40mls) - similar in texture to the skinceuticals although a bit less moisturising. It holds up better than the skinceuticals in warmer weather, but isn't the best for very humid weather. I wear the untinted, but this is also available in a tinted version for a tan complexion. Ultrasun mineral spf50 (£26 for 50mls) - my pick for humid weather and really sticks around. It's water resistant and although not overly drying isn't anywhere near as moisturising as the others mentioned. Many of these are often on offer (especially the Avene) and I buy them when they are. The Avene is usually around £13 when I buy it for instance. Here in the UK mineral spf is much more difficult to find, but we have far more choice in chemical filters. If my skin is relatively calm in the Summer I can wear the Ultrasun chemical spf50+, but not when the rosacea is very active. I do use the ultrasun lip spf50 though all year round. I'm a fitzpatrick one so white cast isn't a major issue for me, unless the spf is very thick/chalky. Most of these will have a slight cast on deeper skintones I would surmise. The cetaphil, aveeno and MD solar science spf's shown are not available in the UK for info, but the Avene looks like the cetaphil on the skin and in application. Best wishes.
I really love the kiss me mommy sunscreen and the biore aqua rich watery essence since they work so well for me under makeup, but I really wish I could try the Australian brand ultraviolet but sadly they don’t ship to us 😑 really great video, always love the spf videos
I absolutely love these kinds of videos bc I’m always looking for the perfect sunscreen. My favorite has been the Drmtlgy tinted that you recommended but I’m on the hunt for a waterproof spf one for swimming in the summer. I also love the feta Phil but it does leave a white cast one me. I’m trying the MD Solarsciences tinted one but it’s only spf 30. But FYI, it’s available at Costco for a discount right now. The MS solar science spf 50 is also at Costco bu I’m not sure if it’s also on sale.
Thank you Tamara a great video for a great video. I have been using Eucerin 50 spf sunscreen lately & jury is still out. I would like to try the Aveeno & Cethaphil sunscreens.
Hi Tamara ! I love your choices , I’ve been loving the Vivier sheer tinted and I’m still working on my Elta Md , I also bought the Cotz that you recommended last year but I use that on my neck , chest and arms for a little color boost as it is sunny & hot here in Florida already . I need to use up my collection and then I’ll try a couple you chose , the first two seem delicious !! As always loved your video 😘🌸
SPF is sooo very important! Thank you for doing this collaboration! Also, love your earrings and your sweater! So beautiful with your silver strands! Can you let us know where you purchased the earrings and top?
I'm glad you made it a point to discuss the correct amount of sunscreen for full protection. Many people don't know that you have to use 1/4 on the face and 1/4 on the neck. Also the fact that you stressed to wear it every day. Great video and thorough reviews!! Thank you!
I have two. DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46 Zinc Oxide 12% Octinoxate 7.5% And Colorscience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50. Zinc Oxide 12% I can wear DRMTLGY by itself, and love the way my skin feels. I have to avoid my eyes, or it irritates them. The Colorscience is kinder to my eyes and can be worn alone. It doesn't look as good as the other, but it is fine alone. Both go under my makeup well.
Those are good ones! Thanks for sharing! I do find that the 100% mineral SPFs can be applied around my eyes without irritation...and our tender eye area needs protection too!
Cannot view yr video as it gets hung up on a frozen purpose advertiser’s screen and wont allow me to view yr video on MAY 2, 2022 AT 5:54PM. TRIED FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES.
As always, a great video! I was wondering if, when you do your 2024 recommendations for sunscreen, you would test and give us your opinion on the Abib Heartleaf Sun Essence SPF 50+++. I think this might be a Korean beauty product. I hear it is very thin and I wondered how it would do under makeup and where online it could be purchased. Thanks for all you do to keep us informed!
Thank you Mary! Unfortunately this is a Universal Thread Sweater form Target that is no longer available....I wish I would have purchased in more colors!
The Tatcha one sounds so nice!... but have a hard time accepting the price! I got the Sephora kit that Cindy at Beyond 50 skin recommended,having fun trying those out. I also have Australian Gold, Paula's Choice & Origins Ginzing- that one is new to me but I think I like it, its dewy.
I wonder about everybody’s vitamin d levels. I don’t wear spf when I stay inside or if there’s a heavy overcast, I want my body to generate vitamin d. With all the anti (sun) light hype going on, I’m so confused about fake tan and bronzer as well, why would you want to look like you have a risky lifestyle? It’s weird and nobody seems to notice .
The conundrum about SPF vs Vitamin D is an interesting one. Living in a cold, northern climate where I am bundled up up from head to toe 7 months of the year, I absolutely must supplement with Vitamin D3 SPF or no SPF. The thing is as we age, our body's ability to produce Vitamin D decreases (like everything else). My Aunt who lives in California and doesn't wear SPF is STILL low in Vitamin D and has been prescribed supplementation. In the warmer months, I do enjoy exposing my body to sunrays in the morning before lotioning up with SPF. (they say 20 minutes should be enough for Vitamin D production)..but as far as my face, which is ALWAYS exposed...I want to protect as much as possible from cumulative damage. Even so...in the summer months, my face still does get a little color even with very diligent SPF application. As far as bronzer, fake tan...each to his own. I personally like natural skin...even so in the summer I use a little jergens glow body lotion for a little gentle color on my legs or they look fish belly white LOL.
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty Yes, I supplement vitamin D too, I only started taking it at my mid 40ties when I started to wear heavier spf's. I'm totally aware of the necessity of wearing an spf, I only wonder if the focus should lay on wearing it all the time everywhere or if we could use some common sense. Our body's do get benefits from daylight, daylight is not the enemy (just like fat isn't in our diets ;-) ;-) Since wearing more spf's I don't even get the slightest color even when on holiday in southern countries. I'm a tattoo collector, and the tattoo artist's are happy too my skin stays out of the sun, it's a way better canvas like this. Thank YOU and Claudia for the wonderful recommendations. Claudia got me hooked on the Neova silk sheer spf (which is darn expensive, so thank you for that lol!). It's the first I actually love to use and the first that doesn't give me an ick feeling. I'll be heading over to Sephora France now, I need some of your makeup recommendations and we don't have a Sephora here in the Netherlands. Love love love your channel dear, you've got the greatest tips, and I adore your kindness. The world needs more people like you.
Yes, with my dry skin I almost always use a moisturizer first…let it absorb then apply SPF. I apply a stand alone moisturizer even when using a “tinted moisturizers”. But it depends on your skin type and how moisturizing your SPF is.
Thank you for sharing! EltaMD makes amazing SPFs..the UV Elements was my number one SPF for years and I have included it in many videos...however the tint is just a hair too deep for my skintone so I often need to mix it. I just picked up a sample of the untinted one so excited to try that. Today's video is trying new to me SPFs that I have not talked about before. Time will tell how these fit into my SPF wardrobe. Happy May Day!
Thank you! I have several that I rotate through...my most used right now are ALL the DRMTLGY SPFs...I love all of them. Color Science Sunforgettable original...it's super liquidy and light weight with a very slight peach tint. (this is the one I brought to India due to the travel freindly squeezy tube). And I also love the Can Make Mermaid Sun Gel which is a combo untinted SPF. My daughter loves the EltaMD UV Elements Tinted Mineral SPF...I used that one for years, but the tint is slightly too deep for my skin tone. I am currently testing out SPFs for the Sprin SPF roundup....
I listen to your advice because you’re so sincere. But, I have to tell you that I bought the Aveeno and the Cetaphil sunscreens you recommended. They leave a horrible white cast! It does not fade away. I don’t like it even on my arms! I do like the higher end one. I think you do a great job. These two are a big miss.
Thank you Isabel and I'm so sorry they didn't work for you! I tried to be clear that they do leave a white cast, the severity of which will depend a little on your skin tone. I wanted to include some super affordable products and they do work very nicely under makeup or tinted complexion products. I also find them useful for mixing in with tinted SPFs that are too deep for my skin tone (although mixing SPFs is not always recommended...sometimes it's the only way I can make a tint work for me). I have such a hard time finding a tint that isn't too warm or orange for my skin tone that lately I am finding a white case a little easier to deal with sometimes. I'm glad you found at least one that worked for you! I still use and love my top 5 from last summer, none of which leave any white cast at all so you might enjoy those as well. Here is the video from last summer: ua-cam.com/video/YVcy6Ty08w4/v-deo.html
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty you are right. At least with the white cast we can add color. I definitely like your top two sunscreens and the two drugstore ones are best for arms and legs when gardening. I guess being 69 with wrinkles makes it very difficult and it’s best to pay more for a better product. Thank yo for taking the time to write to me. Keep up the good work, I really respect and appreciate the research you do. 😏
Light/Medium to medium skin tone with warm olive undertones. Normal to dry skin that’s over 65 years old. My go to sunscreen is Elta MD. There are several different types available. I use the non tinted moisturizing one that listed for Dry and post procedure Skin. Combination of mineral and chemical sunscreens. No pilling under makeup. Use it on my face and take it down to my neck. Depending on what shirt I’m wearing, I will use this sunscreen on my chest that would be exposed to sun. It comes in a 3 oz tube and costs around $24. Just depends on where you buy it. If my skin is extremely dry I will use Josie Maran Argan SPF 47 non tinted sunscreen. 2 oz for about $34. It is totally mineral based and will leave a white cast. ~CeCe 🤗
Thank you so much for sharing such detailed recommendations! I just got a sample of the non tinted EltaMD...can't wait to try it. And the Josie Maran is wonderful on my extra dry winter skin. Happy May Day Sunday CeCe!
Thanks for the reviews! Loved Claudia’s also. 😊 I’m in love with the Josie Maran Perfect and Protect Mineral SPF 47. I’ve been using it for two years. I occasionally use Paula’s Choice, but prefer the Josie Maran.
I just tried a beautiful formulation that sadly did not work for me, Neova Silc Sheer 2.0 so beautiful but it made my skin itchy red and flaky :( Love your pooch in the background :)
Happy May to you. I have been wondering something about sunscreen since watching both you and Kiki-you with the 1/4 tsp but also the two finger measurement and Kiki with the former only. I know in theory 1/4 teaspoon should be just that, however, not all formulas perform the same as one another. I did a bit of an experiment measuring 1/4 tsp of the Tatcha Silk and the same with Colorescience Glow formula. The 1/4 t of Tatcha being very thin and runny, did not fully cover even half my face. By that I mean with an amount that would be significant. It spreads so thinly that I don’t really see how a 1/4 tsp would be a significant protection for a full face. On the other hand, the Colorescience Glow was much thicker and you can see for yourself as it covers your skin all over. I can imagine that an even thicker formula like the Allastin or even the Cetaphil would prove that a 1/4 tsp would be enough for face and neck. Of course, I’m not a scientist but I just can’t wrap my head around all formulas needing to be measured the same way.
I just found you today Tamara and am enjoying your channel. Thank you for the information on mineral sunscreens. Those are the only kind I use on my 63 year old skin. I tried and loved CeraVe hydrating Mineral Sunscreen Face Sheer Tint. It worked great on my Minnesota skin when we vacationed at Destin/Fort Walton last month. I did order (thank you for the discount code) DRMTLGY tinted moisturizer just from other reviews and your top 3 that you still use. Enjoy the beautiful day today finally. Gwen
I hope you keep trying…it’s SO important to protect your skin. Have you been able to pinpoint an ingredient? There are so many options for all skin types.
Happy May Day! I have some questions I hope you might be able to answer. (1) I wear waterproof mascara, and I travel a bit. For years, I removed this with baby oil (bad stuff!), which was convenient for travel. What is the #1 remover you recommend for travel? I took jojoba oil with me on a recent trip, and what an oily mess! Ugh! (2) I've tried both expensive and drugstore sunscreens, and all of them have made me break out. I am 66 with very dry, sensitive skin. My dermatologist (we go to the same clinic!) said she has "a number of patients who cannot wear sunscreen." I actually trust your advice more! What do you recommend? (3) Any product with petrolatum destroys my skin. What is the best body moisturizer you recommend? My skin is super super dry! (4) When I was younger, I used toner to remove all traces of the day and to restore my correct pH. I miss it, but the diluted witch hazel I use now is too drying. So is Elf's. What's your advice about toner? Thank you. You make my Sundays sunny and happy -- and so do your bloopers and your dog. Thanks again for your advice. This is a LOT!
Very important video. Living in Australia, you just have to be super aware of skin Cancers, I know from experience. Lots of good choices you mentioned. Keep up the good work.
One of my favorite sunscreens because it is so light and works well under makeup is La Roche Posay. I don't use a tinted sunscreen...they seem to bleed into my white hairline or do funny things under my foundation. I just got the PTR Clear Gel Priming Sunscreen . I hope I like it.
Wonderful video. My dermatologist recommended Alastin and I love it but the price is a bit high. Recently I switched to Cetaphil and really like it and the price. Might just try the Aveeno too. Thanks againTamara for a very thorough video
What about the eyelids. I had pretty bad skin cancer on my eyelid skin that required plastic surgery. Every sunscreen I use on my eyelids seeps into my eyes and burns, including the ones you recommended.
I love the Tatcha! I wish I didn’t. As you said, it’s such a lovely thin texture, it has good skincare ingredients like niacinamide. More importantly, it doesn’t have irritating ingredients like as alcohol and fragrance. I’m disappointed as to how many facial sunscreens do (that are very pricey!) like you, I don’t use it everyday because of the cost. My everyday is EltaMD UV Physical SPF 41. Thanks for making me aware of the others in your video. I tried the Cetaphil one you mentioned. After a couple of times I put it in my bag to use on my hands.
This may seem like a stupid question but here I go. Do you use a different sunscreen for your face and a different one for your body? What can you use for a self-tanner you can but at the drug store price for your body?
Tamara I just love watching you!! I look forward towards Sundays videos. Your so interesting and informative!! Thanks for doing the samples for us. Have a great Sunday!!
Tamara, You look more amazing each time I see you! This was very helpful and impactful. Do you typically reapply a quarter tsp every 2 hrs? I have trouble doing that. I like the Alastin, and the component doesn't get messy. I look forward to trying your drugstore recommendations. Have a beautiful day and thank you!
I love the Supergoop mineral sunscreen, great alone or under makeup. I also like the tinted Cerave mineral sunscreen during the summer when I have some tan. Great video, thank you!
Great video with very useful information ❤️ I need your advice for sunscreen that I can use on my very very sensitive neck. Thank you Tamara for everything you are doing for us
I had bought the Avenida sunscreen and did not like it because it is just too heavy and leaves a white cast, however, like you stated if one wears a foundation over it the white cast is not noticeable.
Good question! …I should have been more clear in the video. Yes, sunscreen is the last step of my AM skincare routine, including moisturizer. I let the moisturizer soak in then apply SPF.
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty I LOVE that Alastin - wish they did a lighter color, but it didn't stop me from wearing it a lot last summer. I also felt the protection I got was very solid!
I have the glow recipe watermelon niacinamide sunscreen- so far it pills with my skincare... AND any makeup that I have used ... smells lovely though! I am currently using and loving : Kinship self reflect probiotic moisturizing sunscreen zinc oxide spf 32 And Kinship self reflect broad spectrum sport spf60- Both play well with my skincare, are reef safe, bunny stamped, and work well under any makeup that I use.
My friend Kiki (the hooded lid) did a video on glow recipe…I’ve never seen such horrible pilling! I have a tube of kinship…can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this important video! After that other video, I got the Cetaphil product. My dermatologist likes Cetaphil and Cerave product. Do I use my sunscreen under or over my Laroche Posay 30 SPF moisturizer?
Glad it was helpful! I always use a stand alone moisturizer before applying my SPF. Some people may find a moisturizing SPF enough moisture but I need all the hydration I can get. (let your mositurizer absorb before going in with SPF) So...SPF always goes over moisturizer....play around with different combos and see what works best for you. I haven't tried LRP moisturizer but have heard good things about it! Here is a video on my favorite moisturizers. Enjoy: ua-cam.com/video/exrMY7DtXUQ/v-deo.html
Hi Tamara, coming from Kerry Lou’s channel 😊 thank you for sharing your top favorite sunscreen lotions. I haven’t found one that will not burn my eyes 😏 I will try Aveeno 🌸
I wonder why all/most of the sunscreens are mineral? I find that my skin gets even drier when I use a mineral sunscreen (probably the zinc oxid). My new favourite is the Beauty of Joseon SPF 50 - the first organic/chemical sunscreen that does not sting my eyes. It is very lightweight, no white cast and not drying.
I don’t personally have anything against chemical SPFs, but in general prefer mineral or combo because chemical tends to irritate my eyes. However, my good friend Kiki who has the channel The Hooded Lid has some sort of sensitivity to zinc so she finds some lovely chemical SPFs and does lots of sunscreen reviews so check her out. The best sunscreen is the one you love the way it looks and feels and look forward to wearing every day. Thank you for sharing your recommendation! Will check it out! ❤️
So, I may not be your exact target demographic as I am 27 years old, but now that I'm in my late twenties I am thinking about anti-aging skincare for the first time in my life, so I've been really happy to find your channel. I only just started wearing spf every day last year, which is really bad, but better late than never.
I absolutely love having young people here! And it makes me so happy that you are wearing SPF…i WISH I had started at your age. I didn’t start until my 40s (it wasn’t a thing back in my day) so you are way ahead! You will never regret taking care of your skin! ☀️😎❤️
yay, some new sunscreens to try!! Of course, I have my favorites (drmtgly, austrailian gold, eucerin). BTW, your weather!! So jealous as its in the high 80's in Texas.
I forgot to mention that Sephora's limited edition Sun Safety Kit is now available! For $39.00 you get $185.00 worth of SPFs to try. AND it supports the Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Super Cool and a special thank you to Sharon C for reminding me...I forgot to mention it in my video!

Just got this! Great products.
Just ordered mine. Thank you
Just ordered mine too. Ships for free using Freeship as promi code. I save $6.50!
Love drmtlgy tinted moisturizer spf44 so elegant and never pills.
Australian gold spf 50 is great but overkill in our winters to use a waterproof sunscreen that is heck to get off. Like the cerave tinted spf 50 hjust don't like the tint.... too orange for me. But love the formulation.
Yeah I love the Australian Gold but it's pain take off. Works better for people who sweat a lot or in the water I also like the elta tinted and can't wait to try the DRMTLY(?).
My 2 favorites are Australian Gold tinted (very affordable and serves as foundation as well!) and Coola tinted (goes on like silk, but is expensive) Most important to me, they are both CRUELTY FREE.
Yes... Australian Gold very good too.. I always have that on hand, but in say , winter, it is a wee bit drying to my skin..and I use the Coola hydrating water mist sunscreen to refresh my sunscreen during the day as well as under artificial light as it blocks blue light damage as well as UVA/UBA
I agree cruelty free is a must! If more people saw the painful things done to animals in the name of 'testing' they would insist in no more cruel torture of animals.
FYI for your subscribers: my dermatologist told me that a frequent missed sunscreen area is just below the ears on the neck. This area gets hit with the sun. Sure enough, I have a mole there that we are keeping an eye on.
Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Have you done a tutorial on what your favorite hair products are especially for gray hair / your color is very pretty
I recommend the Australian Gold 50spf mineral tinted sunscreen. Does not leave a white cast and comes in three shades for women of color.
Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️
$13.99 for 3 oz at Target beats Aveeno. It may not be the best for dry skin but for the price I won’t use anything else. Protecting ourselves from skin cancer shouldn’t be so horribly expensive like so many SPF’s are.
@@TanaWVA You can get it for even a little less using one of the coupons at Ulta.😀
I enjoy this sunscreen and love the price. One problem - my skin feels a bit dry as the day goes on. Extra moisturizer is a must for me.
Thanks for your comment. I have tried a gazillion sunscreens and they pull up on me. I want to try the Austr Gold. 🧣🧣
It is always such a pleasure to collab with you! Thank you! Loved this video. Very in- depth and great choices. I really want to try the Tasha. Love you
xx
I LOVED your video...can't wait to try some of your selections! I think you will LOVE the Tatcha! xoxo
I am going over to your chanel now! I can't wait to see your recommendations.
@@madrechelle8090 I am looking forward to meeting you in the comments over there, Madre. And I hope you will enjoy the video
I have the tatcha product it is lovely BUT the packaging is cheap cheap CHEAP. The packaging peels within days. I can see it already with your packaging toward the bottom Tamara. At this price point it is remarkable this made it through tatcha’s QR process. So frustrating!
Subscribed 😊
I like Elta MD but only the tinted. I tried another and didn't realize the untinted had different ingredients and my skin reacted to it. Good to have some more to investigate
Love Dermatolgy tinted sunscreen! I use moisturizer under it & it gives a soft glow with light coverage. It feels light on & No white haze. I live in California and my dermatologist says “the best sunscreen is the one you use!”
Thank you Tamara! I have never used any of these sunscreens but I'm definitely a sunscreen wearer. I appreciate these reviews and will try some of them! My "ride or die" sunscreen is Colorscience which, I know is also one of your tried and true's. It's just perfect for my dry skin without being too dewy as well. I also love Claudia's channel! Happy May!
I used to spend a fortune on small bottles of facial sunscreen but I’d go through one a week (I’m as fair as people get so I’m very careful with the sun) then I used the big 1lt Nivea moisture sunscreen I put on my 4yr old and it was amazing! It’s all I use now and I can layer as many times a day as I want without worrying about the cost
I have a Fair/Light completion, w/ Dry skin &I used to wear the Elta MD tintedSPF but it's too dark then I tried Mychelle Liquid Sun Shield SPF 50 in Light I love 💕 it!! It's a lighter tint + matte it'll be perfect for summer!!
Thanks for sharing!! that's a good one!
Jody does the My Michele one not dry you out with your dry skin? I liked the matte finish but after two days of wear my skin was so dry and flaky
@@sonjaforrester9255 hi Sonja, unfortunately I personally find the MyChelke pretty drying on my dry skin most of the year. Occasionally I can wear it in the summer when it’s quite hit and humid. In general I do think it’s better for more normal, combo or oily skin. I love the fact it comes in different tint shades. I sometimes add a few drops to tint an untinted SPF or lighten the tint on a tinted one.
I had high hopes for the Origins Ginzing Energy-Boosting Tinted Moisturizer Spf40, tried & was a Fail for me.....But luv luv my FAV is Dr.DennisGross All-Physical Lightweight Wrinkle Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF30 hands down, pairs perfectly with my everyday makeup 💙 thanks for a great video dear! Happy Mother's Day to you & All Lovely Moms 😊
Thank you for sharing! And Happy Mother’s Day to you! ❤️
Absolutely love the Australian Gold Sunscreen. I also love Super Goop All Mineral Sunscreen.
Thank you for the roundup Tamara! I've used Aveeno and La Roche Posay for years. I've recently started using Supergoop in Unseen which I'm loving as it's a gel formula. Have a great week my friend! 💕
I absolutely love your sunscreen reviews. I have specific sunscreen needs. I have to have all mineral, water resistant, 50SPF, and affordable (readily available). Currently I am layering my banana boat sensitive mineral with my Australian Gold tinted sunscreen. The banana boat sounds exactly like the Aveeno but it’s only $8.59 for 3 oz. I usually use a full 1/4 teaspoon then top it off with a small amount of the Australian Gold to take down the white cast and tackiness if I’m not wearing foundation. I also use a stippling brush to apply makes it way easier to massage in.
I’m so glad I found the skincare community when Covid started and learned about wearing spf and have been using it everyday since!!!
Yay! Rock that SPF! ❤️
I really enjoy the EltaMD UV Restore as my fall/winter sunscreen and the EltaMD UV Phsical and the EltaMD UV Elements as my spring/summer sunscreens. All of these are tinted and work beautifully for a natural makeup look and the work nicely under my tints and foundations!
I love all these products! Great minds think alike! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty I thoroughly enjoyed your video and also enjoyed watching Claudia's choices. I hope it gets warmer there for you soon!🌞😎
I use the mineral Dermtlgy and it’s perfect for me. I am going to purchase the Aveeno on your recommendation as I usually use a light foundation over my sunscreen. Thank you!
I have very dry, sensitive skin and cannot use chemical sunscreens. My very favorite sunscreen is Drmtlgy Physical SPF 44. Some days I just use that and no foundation. It gives me much needed hydration.
So glad someone else enjoys the Aveeno! Like many Aveeno products, to me it's soothing. I'm quite fair and after the drydown, sometimes I skip makeup. Thanks for a thorough well rounded video!
Really great roundup! For any fellow Costco members out there, on their website they sell a 2-pack of the 1.7 oz MDSolarSciences spf! I recently picked it up and am really liking it so far. 💕
I wasn’t familiar with most of these products so thank you for giving us more options. My favorite is from Dermtolgy.
I’ve tried a few this year that I thought were decent. Josie Maran Sun Milk - though it’s very, very moisturizing, and the Tula mineral one, which needs a light moisturizer underneath. If I had to choose, it would be Tula. I apply it over a moisturizing serum. A chemical sunscreen that I think is great, alone or under makeup, is the Tula Ptotect+Glow - but sadly, it has citrus oils in it, so I won’t be buying it again, and I can’t put any chemical sunscreen around my eyes - so I usually use a mineral sunscreen around my eyes and a chemical one for my face and neck.
You are the only person I've seen that lives the Tatcha. Weird
Wow, i didn't realize the suggested amount we need to use is so much product! I've always used an even layer on my face, but I don't think I've ever applied such a thick coat.
Yay🥳! Claudia & Tamara’s beautiful annual sunscreen collab! 😉
I just watched your Sephora Sun Safety Review...they sure sell out quickly! Glad I ordered early becuae of your recommendation! We are all SPF obsessed LOL!
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty glad you snagged one!! 🙌🏻💜
Beautiful and helpful. I have been loving the Paula’s Choice Glow Sunscreen SPF 30 (mineral) and DRMTLGY Physical Tinted Moisturizer SPF 44.
Hi Janet how're you doing today?
My dermatologist says that the SPF in foundation is adequate for when you are indoors or out and about running errands. He said that you don't need to load on additional sunscreen unless you are going to be in the direct sun for an extended period of time.
Interesting! That seems very much contradictory to what my aesthetic dermatologist recommends. I suppose on a cloudy day where you are not outside you are unlikely to burn, SPF or no SPF. The foundation I have with the highest SPF is IT CC Cream with SPF 50. However, it would take 5+ pumps to get the SPF 50 which would look pretty crazy...I usually use between 1/2 pump and 1 pump...which would give me a 10 SPF at the most. Most foundations have SPF 20ish or so....the amount used would probably offer way less than a 10 SPF. For me...I do struggle with sunspots appearing on my cheeks and even a little bit of sun seems to darken them. Also, my house has huge south and east windows so I get tons of sunlight in my house. I walk my dog a couple of times a day and always seem to need to do a few errands...even when I was working full time in an office I had a 40 minute commute which gave me lots of sun exposure while driving. In the summer months...my skin does get a little bit of color even with daily SPF.
So...my preference and recommendation is to include a good SPF into my morning skin care...I'm working too hard on treating my age spots to risk sun exposure undoing all my expensive serums, creams and treatments. Having said all that...if you don't have any specific concerns...far be it from me to disagree with what your dermatologists recommendations for you. Thank you fo sharing ❤️
I believe he was referring to skin cancer, which is why I was seeing him. I told him my foundation has SPF 40. He's a dude, so it is likely that he doesn't realize that we only put on a thin layer. I am curious if any other viewers have asked their medical dermatologist about sunscreen, and what their response has been. I am 66 and I was one of those sun bathers at the beach in California in my teens and would lay in the sun for hours while slathering on Baby Oil and Coco Butter. Now as an adult, I have had a couple little skin cancer spots on my nose. Because my derm said that the foundation was adequate, I haven't been using sunscreen (unless outside for a long time), but I probably should, especially because I live in Arizona! I just don't like it, and don't like how my foundation looks over it. My mindset is....I only have a few good years left, so what the heck! I will die before there is any noticeable damage! LOL
Oh my gosh....if I lived in AZ with a history of skin cancer I would for sure wear SPF everyday. I found a super lovely Sunscreen last year....Can Make Mermaid Sun Gel. It is a Japanese hybrid (meaning it has chemical and physical screens in it). It is super light weight, applies and feels just like a moisturizer. Totally clear and makeup wears beautifully over it. Also super affordable. It comes in white and clear so if you order it make sure you get the clear. It's the sunscreen I use when I am testing foundations because it doesn't change the tint or the finish of the foundation. Here is a link if you want to check it out:

Thank you so much Tamara! I am going to stop being lazy about it and try your recommendation! I really enjoy your channel, and hope that you will do more foundation reviews too.
Thank you so much. I have never heard of some of these. I am loving the DRMTLGY universal tinted sunscreen 46. It is one of my favourites. Looking forward to trying some of these onesie you mentioned. 😊
Hi Tamara as someone with severely dry, rosacea and eczema prone skin spf is a bit of a struggle tbh. I do wear it, but really struggle with chemical spfs and many mineral spfs are so drying on my skin - it's a real battle to find something that works for me. My top 4 are:
Skinceuticals mineral spf50 lotion (full price £42 for 50mls) - this works the best for me tbh, but it's expensive and isn't the best in humid weather. For the colder months however it is a firm favourite. I wear the untinted as I'm super pale, but it is available in a medium tinted version.
Paula's choice calm mineral spf30 normal/dry (£32 for 60mls full price) - my staple during the cooler months or in a full rosacea flare. It never stings/burns and isn't drying on the skin. Strangely the dry skin version is more drying than the calm version on me.
Avene mineral spf50 (full price £18 for 40mls) - similar in texture to the skinceuticals although a bit less moisturising. It holds up better than the skinceuticals in warmer weather, but isn't the best for very humid weather. I wear the untinted, but this is also available in a tinted version for a tan complexion.
Ultrasun mineral spf50 (£26 for 50mls) - my pick for humid weather and really sticks around. It's water resistant and although not overly drying isn't anywhere near as moisturising as the others mentioned.
Many of these are often on offer (especially the Avene) and I buy them when they are. The Avene is usually around £13 when I buy it for instance. Here in the UK mineral spf is much more difficult to find, but we have far more choice in chemical filters. If my skin is relatively calm in the Summer I can wear the Ultrasun chemical spf50+, but not when the rosacea is very active. I do use the ultrasun lip spf50 though all year round. I'm a fitzpatrick one so white cast isn't a major issue for me, unless the spf is very thick/chalky. Most of these will have a slight cast on deeper skintones I would surmise. The cetaphil, aveeno and MD solar science spf's shown are not available in the UK for info, but the Avene looks like the cetaphil on the skin and in application. Best wishes.
Elta md sunscreen / revision intellishade
I tried the cedaphil sunscreen but it leaves a white cast on my skin. So I just wear it in the morning on my walks .
I really love the kiss me mommy sunscreen and the biore aqua rich watery essence since they work so well for me under makeup, but I really wish I could try the Australian brand ultraviolet but sadly they don’t ship to us 😑 really great video, always love the spf videos
I absolutely love these kinds of videos bc I’m always looking for the perfect sunscreen. My favorite has been the Drmtlgy tinted that you recommended but I’m on the hunt for a waterproof spf one for swimming in the summer. I also love the feta Phil but it does leave a white cast one me. I’m trying the MD Solarsciences tinted one but it’s only spf 30. But FYI, it’s available at Costco for a discount right now. The MS solar science spf 50 is also at Costco bu I’m not sure if it’s also on sale.
Thank you Tamara a great video for a great video. I have been using Eucerin 50 spf sunscreen lately & jury is still out. I would like to try the Aveeno & Cethaphil sunscreens.
I love my alastin. Sometimes it’s all I wear.
I haven't found a dark enough skin tint for me, but the Alastin looks like a winner for me!!! Thank you for reviewing it Tamara!
Hi Tamara , Thankyou for sharing all the products. So glad you did this vlog .xx
Great recommendations,can’t wait to purchase a few 😘
I love all of Dermtlgy, universal tint and physical tint.
So good!
Hi Tamara ! I love your choices , I’ve been loving the Vivier sheer tinted and I’m still working on my Elta Md , I also bought the Cotz that you recommended last year but I use that on my neck , chest and arms for a little color boost as it is sunny & hot here in Florida already . I need to use up my collection and then I’ll try a couple you chose , the first two seem delicious !! As always loved your video 😘🌸
SPF is sooo very important! Thank you for doing this collaboration! Also, love your earrings and your sweater! So beautiful with your silver strands! Can you let us know where you purchased the earrings and top?
I'm glad you made it a point to discuss the correct amount of sunscreen for full protection. Many people don't know that you have to use 1/4 on the face and 1/4 on the neck. Also the fact that you stressed to wear it every day. Great video and thorough reviews!! Thank you!
I'm a little obsessed LOL 😍
I have two. DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturizer
SPF 46
Zinc Oxide 12%
Octinoxate 7.5%
And
Colorscience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield
SPF 50.
Zinc Oxide 12%
I can wear DRMTLGY by itself, and love the way my skin feels. I have to avoid my eyes, or it irritates them.
The Colorscience is kinder to my eyes and can be worn alone. It doesn't look as good as the other, but it is fine alone.
Both go under my makeup well.
Those are good ones! Thanks for sharing! I do find that the 100% mineral SPFs can be applied around my eyes without irritation...and our tender eye area needs protection too!
Cannot view yr video as it gets hung up on a frozen purpose advertiser’s screen and wont allow me to view yr video on MAY 2, 2022 AT 5:54PM. TRIED FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES.
How weird! I just checked and it’s playing ok for me?
As always, a great video! I was wondering if, when you do your 2024 recommendations for sunscreen, you would test and give us your opinion on the Abib Heartleaf Sun Essence SPF 50+++. I think this might be a Korean beauty product. I hear it is very thin and I wondered how it would do under makeup and where online it could be purchased. Thanks for all you do to keep us informed!
I’ll Check it out!
Very cute top! Any referral for it .? (Haven't finished watching the video yet, and the topic at hand...)
Thank you Mary! Unfortunately this is a Universal Thread Sweater form Target that is no longer available....I wish I would have purchased in more colors!
Hi Tamara, I really liked how the Tatcha and Alastin sunscreens looked on you.
Dr. G Green Mild Up Sun +SPF 50 + PA++++is my new holy grail. I left Elta MD for it. It's better under makeup and half the price.
Thank you so much for sharing! Adding to my must try list!
Where do you purchase this sunscreen? Sounds like a good recommendation.
The Tatcha one sounds so nice!... but have a hard time accepting the price! I got the Sephora kit that Cindy at Beyond 50 skin recommended,having fun trying those out. I also have Australian Gold, Paula's Choice & Origins Ginzing- that one is new to me but I think I like it, its dewy.
I got the Sephora skin kit because of Cindy too! I can’t wait to play with it!
Thank you for the list
I wonder about everybody’s vitamin d levels. I don’t wear spf when I stay inside or if there’s a heavy overcast, I want my body to generate vitamin d. With all the anti (sun) light hype going on, I’m so confused about fake tan and bronzer as well, why would you want to look like you have a risky lifestyle? It’s weird and nobody seems to notice .
The conundrum about SPF vs Vitamin D is an interesting one. Living in a cold, northern climate where I am bundled up up from head to toe 7 months of the year, I absolutely must supplement with Vitamin D3 SPF or no SPF. The thing is as we age, our body's ability to produce Vitamin D decreases (like everything else). My Aunt who lives in California and doesn't wear SPF is STILL low in Vitamin D and has been prescribed supplementation. In the warmer months, I do enjoy exposing my body to sunrays in the morning before lotioning up with SPF. (they say 20 minutes should be enough for Vitamin D production)..but as far as my face, which is ALWAYS exposed...I want to protect as much as possible from cumulative damage. Even so...in the summer months, my face still does get a little color even with very diligent SPF application. As far as bronzer, fake tan...each to his own. I personally like natural skin...even so in the summer I use a little jergens glow body lotion for a little gentle color on my legs or they look fish belly white LOL.
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty Yes, I supplement vitamin D too, I only started taking it at my mid 40ties when I started to wear heavier spf's. I'm totally aware of the necessity of wearing an spf, I only wonder if the focus should lay on wearing it all the time everywhere or if we could use some common sense. Our body's do get benefits from daylight, daylight is not the enemy (just like fat isn't in our diets ;-) ;-)
Since wearing more spf's I don't even get the slightest color even when on holiday in southern countries. I'm a tattoo collector, and the tattoo artist's are happy too my skin stays out of the sun, it's a way better canvas like this.
Thank YOU and Claudia for the wonderful recommendations. Claudia got me hooked on the Neova silk sheer spf (which is darn expensive, so thank you for that lol!). It's the first I actually love to use and the first that doesn't give me an ick feeling.
I'll be heading over to Sephora France now, I need some of your makeup recommendations and we don't have a Sephora here in the Netherlands. Love love love your channel dear, you've got the greatest tips, and I adore your kindness. The world needs more people like you.
Do you apply a moisturizer under the sunscreen?
Yes, with my dry skin I almost always use a moisturizer first…let it absorb then apply SPF. I apply a stand alone moisturizer even when using a “tinted moisturizers”. But it depends on your skin type and how moisturizing your SPF is.
I don't know why you don't talk about elta md sunscreen? That is quality mineral sunscreen and affordable.
Thank you for sharing! EltaMD makes amazing SPFs..the UV Elements was my number one SPF for years and I have included it in many videos...however the tint is just a hair too deep for my skintone so I often need to mix it. I just picked up a sample of the untinted one so excited to try that. Today's video is trying new to me SPFs that I have not talked about before. Time will tell how these fit into my SPF wardrobe. Happy May Day!
Tamara what are the steps when doing a full face of makeup including SPF? At what point do I put it on without having my face look super cakey?
Hi Tamara,
I somehow missed this video. Which sunscreen is your favorite of the ones you mentioned? Loved the video. You always do such a great job. ❤
Thank you! I have several that I rotate through...my most used right now are ALL the DRMTLGY SPFs...I love all of them. Color Science Sunforgettable original...it's super liquidy and light weight with a very slight peach tint. (this is the one I brought to India due to the travel freindly squeezy tube). And I also love the Can Make Mermaid Sun Gel which is a combo untinted SPF. My daughter loves the EltaMD UV Elements Tinted Mineral SPF...I used that one for years, but the tint is slightly too deep for my skin tone. I am currently testing out SPFs for the Sprin SPF roundup....
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty hope you are having a ball in India! CanMake is my current favorite also. Thank you for your reply! ❤️
Wonderful video!
I listen to your advice because you’re so sincere. But, I have to tell you that I bought the Aveeno and the Cetaphil sunscreens you recommended. They leave a horrible white cast! It does not fade away. I don’t like it even on my arms! I do like the higher end one. I think you do a great job. These two are a big miss.
Thank you Isabel and I'm so sorry they didn't work for you! I tried to be clear that they do leave a white cast, the severity of which will depend a little on your skin tone. I wanted to include some super affordable products and they do work very nicely under makeup or tinted complexion products. I also find them useful for mixing in with tinted SPFs that are too deep for my skin tone (although mixing SPFs is not always recommended...sometimes it's the only way I can make a tint work for me). I have such a hard time finding a tint that isn't too warm or orange for my skin tone that lately I am finding a white case a little easier to deal with sometimes. I'm glad you found at least one that worked for you! I still use and love my top 5 from last summer, none of which leave any white cast at all so you might enjoy those as well. Here is the video from last summer: ua-cam.com/video/YVcy6Ty08w4/v-deo.html
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty you are right. At least with the white cast we can add color. I definitely like your top two sunscreens and the two drugstore ones are best for arms and legs when gardening. I guess being 69 with wrinkles makes it very difficult and it’s best to pay more for a better product. Thank yo for taking the time to write to me. Keep up the good work, I really respect and appreciate the research you do. 😏
Light/Medium to medium skin tone with warm olive undertones. Normal to dry skin that’s over 65 years old.
My go to sunscreen is Elta MD. There are several different types available. I use the non tinted moisturizing one that listed for Dry and post procedure Skin. Combination of mineral and chemical sunscreens.
No pilling under makeup. Use it on my face and take it down to my neck. Depending on what shirt I’m wearing, I will use this sunscreen on my chest that would be exposed to sun.
It comes in a 3 oz tube and costs around $24. Just depends on where you buy it.
If my skin is extremely dry I will use Josie Maran Argan SPF 47 non tinted sunscreen. 2 oz for about $34. It is totally mineral based and will leave a white cast.
~CeCe 🤗
Thank you so much for sharing such detailed recommendations! I just got a sample of the non tinted EltaMD...can't wait to try it. And the Josie Maran is wonderful on my extra dry winter skin. Happy May Day Sunday CeCe!
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty 🤗 🌺
Great video.Perfect info for me.
You have great great selection on sunscreens, with the efficacy, under foundation,and price points.
Great video ❤️💯
Hello beautiful, I appreciate so much that you bring up the importance of protection first. I’m excited watch this 💕🌹💕🌹
Hello my beautiful friend, Happy sunday Tamara 🌷🌺🐾🥰😘😘😘
Thanks for the reviews! Loved Claudia’s also. 😊
I’m in love with the Josie Maran Perfect and Protect Mineral SPF 47. I’ve been using it for two years. I occasionally use Paula’s Choice, but prefer the Josie Maran.
I just tried a beautiful formulation that sadly did not work for me, Neova Silc Sheer 2.0 so beautiful but it made my skin itchy red and flaky :( Love your pooch in the background :)
Happy May to you. I have been wondering something about sunscreen since watching both you and Kiki-you with the 1/4 tsp but also the two finger measurement and Kiki with the former only. I know in theory 1/4 teaspoon should be just that, however, not all formulas perform the same as one another. I did a bit of an experiment measuring 1/4 tsp of the Tatcha Silk and the same with Colorescience Glow formula. The 1/4 t of Tatcha being very thin and runny, did not fully cover even half my face. By that I mean with an amount that would be significant. It spreads so thinly that I don’t really see how a 1/4 tsp would be a significant protection for a full face. On the other hand, the Colorescience Glow was much thicker and you can see for yourself as it covers your skin all over. I can imagine that an even thicker formula like the Allastin or even the Cetaphil would prove that a 1/4 tsp would be enough for face and neck. Of course, I’m not a scientist but I just can’t wrap my head around all formulas needing to be measured the same way.
I just found you today Tamara and am enjoying your channel. Thank you for the information on mineral sunscreens. Those are the only kind I use on my 63 year old skin. I tried and loved CeraVe hydrating Mineral Sunscreen Face Sheer Tint. It worked great on my Minnesota skin when we vacationed at Destin/Fort Walton last month. I did order (thank you for the discount code) DRMTLGY tinted moisturizer just from other reviews and your top 3 that you still use. Enjoy the beautiful day today finally. Gwen
I want to wear a sunscreen but they all break me out :(
I hope you keep trying…it’s SO important to protect your skin. Have you been able to pinpoint an ingredient? There are so many options for all skin types.
Hey Tamara x I have never heard of Tatcha before I will definitely look them up. Great review x
Happy May Day! I have some questions I hope you might be able to answer. (1) I wear waterproof mascara, and I travel a bit. For years, I removed this with baby oil (bad stuff!), which was convenient for travel. What is the #1 remover you recommend for travel? I took jojoba oil with me on a recent trip, and what an oily mess! Ugh! (2) I've tried both expensive and drugstore sunscreens, and all of them have made me break out. I am 66 with very dry, sensitive skin. My dermatologist (we go to the same clinic!) said she has "a number of patients who cannot wear sunscreen." I actually trust your advice more! What do you recommend? (3) Any product with petrolatum destroys my skin. What is the best body moisturizer you recommend? My skin is super super dry! (4) When I was younger, I used toner to remove all traces of the day and to restore my correct pH. I miss it, but the diluted witch hazel I use now is too drying. So is Elf's. What's your advice about toner? Thank you. You make my Sundays sunny and happy -- and so do your bloopers and your dog. Thanks again for your advice. This is a LOT!
Very important video. Living in Australia, you just have to be super aware of skin Cancers, I
know from experience. Lots of good choices you mentioned. Keep up the good work.
One of my favorite sunscreens because it is so light and works well under makeup is La Roche Posay. I don't use a tinted sunscreen...they seem to bleed into my white hairline or do funny things under my foundation. I just got the PTR Clear Gel Priming Sunscreen . I hope I like it.
Wonderful video. My dermatologist recommended Alastin and I love it but the price is a bit high. Recently I switched to Cetaphil and really like it and the price. Might just try the Aveeno too. Thanks againTamara for a very thorough video
What about the eyelids. I had pretty bad skin cancer on my eyelid skin that required plastic surgery. Every sunscreen I use on my eyelids seeps into my eyes and burns, including the ones you recommended.
I love the Tatcha! I wish I didn’t. As you said, it’s such a lovely thin texture, it has good skincare ingredients like niacinamide. More importantly, it doesn’t have irritating ingredients like as alcohol and fragrance. I’m disappointed as to how many facial sunscreens do (that are very pricey!) like you, I don’t use it everyday because of the cost.
My everyday is EltaMD UV Physical SPF 41.
Thanks for making me aware of the others in your video.
I tried the Cetaphil one you mentioned. After a couple of times I put it in my bag to use on my hands.
This may seem like a stupid question but here I go. Do you use a different sunscreen for your face and a different one for your body? What can you use for a self-tanner you can but at the drug store price for your body?
Tamara I just love watching you!! I look forward towards Sundays videos. Your so interesting and informative!! Thanks for doing the samples for us. Have a great Sunday!!
Tamara, You look more amazing each time I see you! This was very helpful and impactful. Do you typically reapply a quarter tsp every 2 hrs? I have trouble doing that. I like the Alastin, and the component doesn't get messy. I look forward to trying your drugstore recommendations. Have a beautiful day and thank you!
I love the Supergoop mineral sunscreen, great alone or under makeup. I also like the tinted Cerave mineral sunscreen during the summer when I have some tan. Great video, thank you!
Thank you!
Great video with very useful information ❤️ I need your advice for sunscreen that I can use on my very very sensitive neck. Thank you Tamara for everything you are doing for us
Maybe mix all Allastin with md solar? That’s what I do with Elta md restore.
I had bought the Avenida sunscreen and did not like it because it is just too heavy and leaves a white cast, however, like you stated if one wears a foundation over it the white cast is not noticeable.
❤
Thanks, looking for a good sun protection for everyday.
Do you also have moisturizer on prior to using the sunscreen?
Good question! …I should have been more clear in the video. Yes, sunscreen is the last step of my AM skincare routine, including moisturizer. I let the moisturizer soak in then apply SPF.
Thank you!
I use that aveno stuff and I love it and reasonably priced🥰
Perfect timing before summer hits! 😊💪❣🌞
Happy May Day. I just thought of you and here you are! LOL
Great job!!
And thank YOU for recommending the Alastin and Cetaphil!
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty I LOVE that Alastin - wish they did a lighter color, but it didn't stop me from wearing it a lot last summer. I also felt the protection I got was very solid!
I have the glow recipe watermelon niacinamide sunscreen- so far it pills with my skincare... AND any makeup that I have used ... smells lovely though!
I am currently using and loving :
Kinship self reflect probiotic moisturizing sunscreen zinc oxide spf 32
And
Kinship self reflect broad spectrum sport spf60-
Both play well with my skincare, are reef safe, bunny stamped, and work well under any makeup that I use.
My friend Kiki (the hooded lid) did a video on glow recipe…I’ve never seen such horrible pilling! I have a tube of kinship…can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing!
You look amazing without your make up!!!
Thank you for this important video!
After that other video, I got the Cetaphil product. My dermatologist likes Cetaphil and Cerave product. Do I use my sunscreen under or over my Laroche Posay 30 SPF moisturizer?
Glad it was helpful! I always use a stand alone moisturizer before applying my SPF. Some people may find a moisturizing SPF enough moisture but I need all the hydration I can get. (let your mositurizer absorb before going in with SPF) So...SPF always goes over moisturizer....play around with different combos and see what works best for you. I haven't tried LRP moisturizer but have heard good things about it! Here is a video on my favorite moisturizers. Enjoy: ua-cam.com/video/exrMY7DtXUQ/v-deo.html
Hi Tamara, coming from Kerry Lou’s channel 😊 thank you for sharing your top favorite sunscreen lotions. I haven’t found one that will not burn my eyes 😏 I will try Aveeno 🌸
I adore Kerry Lou! And welcome! I’m super happy you stopped by! ❤️
I wonder why all/most of the sunscreens are mineral? I find that my skin gets even drier when I use a mineral sunscreen (probably the zinc oxid). My new favourite is the Beauty of Joseon SPF 50 - the first organic/chemical sunscreen that does not sting my eyes. It is very lightweight, no white cast and not drying.
I don’t personally have anything against chemical SPFs, but in general prefer mineral or combo because chemical tends to irritate my eyes. However, my good friend Kiki who has the channel The Hooded Lid has some sort of sensitivity to zinc so she finds some lovely chemical SPFs and does lots of sunscreen reviews so check her out. The best sunscreen is the one you love the way it looks and feels and look forward to wearing every day. Thank you for sharing your recommendation! Will check it out! ❤️
So, I may not be your exact target demographic as I am 27 years old, but now that I'm in my late twenties I am thinking about anti-aging skincare for the first time in my life, so I've been really happy to find your channel. I only just started wearing spf every day last year, which is really bad, but better late than never.
I absolutely love having young people here! And it makes me so happy that you are wearing SPF…i WISH I had started at your age. I didn’t start until my 40s (it wasn’t a thing back in my day) so you are way ahead! You will never regret taking care of your skin! ☀️😎❤️
yay, some new sunscreens to try!! Of course, I have my favorites (drmtgly, austrailian gold, eucerin). BTW, your weather!! So jealous as its in the high 80's in Texas.
Oh my gosh...what I wouldn't give for a little warmth and SUNSHINE!
Happy Sunday beautifulTamara! ❤️
I just tried the Biore Aqua Rich spf 50 and it feels like a primer. I recommend it. It also leaves no white cast.
Sounds great! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Thank you for this Tamara!
My favorites are Elta MD UV Clear, Super Goop Glow Screen and their Unseen Sunscreen
Thank you for sharing! ❤️
