Going to account for this as some chemistry reaction of zinc and heat = disappearing act. Pressing palms into your face sealed the deal. This is what removed most of the white cast. Warm up your palms and press into your skin. Better apply in DOTS and tap into your skin slowly much like a beauty blender / foundation motion. I just layer hydrating serum underneath this and that works for me.ĭONOT apply this in streaks n rub it over all your face. Since zinc is pretty drying, this MAY work better us on oily / combo skinned girls better than you dry skinned ladies. So layer on a hydrating serum and your favorite moisturizer beforehand. It 1000% works best on very very well hydrated / moisturized skin. So how does it work for me? A few points to remember if you do have this sunscreen uselessly sitting around: Was there a white cast? Yes but it as manageable, it was bit white / Grey but ever so slightly, nowhere near the Casper lookalike I expected.īeing the kind of curious and obsessed person I am, I brought the same and experimented under different variables, weather, makeup and my final verdict is : IT CHECKS OUT! This so called terrible sunscreen looked decent on me. That was my beloved Purito, but et tu brute.Īnother such sunscreen that looked amazing on paper was Neutrogena Sheer Zinc.īut two of my closest friends and fellow skincare addicts personally vouched to the terrible white mime like cast this leaves behind, so I never personally considered it.Įnter a bored me standing at nykaa store while mom tries on concealer samples, there was a TRY ME for this sheer zinc, just to get a good laugh from my friends, I proceeded to use 3 fingers of dis on my face ( after well sanitizing don't worry guys), much to sales ladies chagrin who felt sunscreen just needs to be gracefully applied in few small dots, whereas I was going full war paint smear mode. Once in a while we tend to get excited about a good sunscreen which ticks all the boxes. Since we live in a country where most popular sunscreens are barely available and our choices are limited to overpriced sunscreens or products claiming to be sunscreens ( with absolutely ZERO UVA UVB filters), yes yes tender coconut water protects you from the sun, let me just spray it on my face instead of drinking it. Finding a physical sunscreen with no alcohol, no fragrance, no essential oils and with minimal white cast on my tan skin ( read NC 42-44) has been my mission impossible.
