Krave Beauty Beet the sun sunscreen

 I wish I knew about this sooner to use in the summertime. This lightweight moisturizer sunscreen makes me forget that I applied sunscreen. The only downfall is that I noticed my skin is a bit oily after a couple hours.

Kose Sekkisei Clear Wellness UV sunscreen Tone Up

This is a mineral gel-like sunscreen so I think it's safer to use for me when I was pregnant and with sensitive skin.  I love this sunscreen which doesn't leave me with a white cast or uncomfortable on the skin. Wished I purchased more while I was in Taiwan. Love the light lavender color which evens out my slight hyperpigmentation and the lavender color disappears right afterwards. 

 

Live Tinted Hueguard 3-in-1 Mineral Sunscreen, Moisturizer, Primer SPF 30

I'm so surprised that not many people know about this mineral sunscreen. I purchased this product because I needed a mineral sunscreen because I'm pregnant and can't use chemical sunscreens which I always preferred. Secondly I needed something that will last the humid hot Taiwan weather while on vacation. I loved this lightweight sunscreen; not only was it effective, but it's a slight orange yellow tint that blends into any color skin. My mom loved it so much when I shared it to her that she never returned it back to me.

 

belif The True Cream - Aqua Bomb Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50

 It's a nice cream based sunscreen and it is soft. This is one of the korean brands that I always fall back on when I'm short on products. However, I wouldn't repurchase it because I always look oily during the summer when applied to my face. I have been using this as a body sun screen or if my face is dry later throughout I'll applied this onto my face. No white cast but very moisturizing; better to use during the winter.

Huxley Sun Cream Stay Sun Safe SPF50+ PA+++

 Surprisedly I really liked this sunscreen. I've been using it during the last couple weeks of July and currently my skin loves it. It has a slight scent but disappears after it is applied. It very soft and absorbs quick. No white cast and very lightweight but I do see a bit of a brightening component upon application.

Kanebo Allie Extra UV gel SPF

 This is a very lightweight physical sunscreen that my sensitive skin agrees with. It's moisturizing and contains hyaluronic acid which helps with soothing my skin. This sunscreen is reef-safe which is why I'm excited to bring to Hawaii to use.

A bit thick for oily summer skin but great for winter sunscreen. Keep the skin hydrated and moisturized.

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics Set

 Love this sunscreen! This product has made it to my holy grails. I loved it so much that I purchased 3 more. It goes on lightweight, love the packaging and no white cast. 

 

Sunday Riley Light Hearted Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Daily Face Sunscreen

 

I love this sunscreen; usually I'm not a fan of western sunscreen but I love how this feels on my skin. No white cast or stickiness. Only SPF 30 so I've been usually this during the winters. Plus, the blue light defense makes me think that I'm protecting my skin from all the screen time from my technologies haha. I have a very sensitive nose for smell and whatever little scent was in the bottle didn't bother me.

Dennis Gross Dark Spot Sun Defense Sunscreen

 

I brought this sunscreen when it was in the Sephora Favorites: Sun Safety Kit 2020 bag. I wasn't about to use it under I finished my opened sunscreen during that time. I opened this product this summer 2021 and was glad that I used it up now that summer was over. The product has a slight white cast which goes away after 5 minutes or as you rub it in. It then leaves a slight glowing look on your skin. It doesn't feel heavy or sticky.

Bliss sunscreen

I received this product through Target and Influenster in exchange for my honest review and opinion. At first, tinted moisturizer came to mind and SPF added to it was great. I use it when I'm on the go, especially when we all wear masks. It transfers so I would recommend re-applying this every couple hours. I wish there was a pump instead of a squeeze tube. It does have silicone so use at your own risk. No scent to me.

 

COOLA Full Spectrum 360° Mineral Sun Silk Crème SPF 30

 This is a physical sunscreen; there has been a problem currently with chemical sunscreen on the market so I'm glad that I currently have a physical sunscreen. It is enough for me for daily wear during the winter months. This is a bit thicker to wear so you might spend some time layering it out along the face. Overall it is a good sunscreen with no scent.

Tatcha SILKEN PORE PERFECTING SUNSCREEN Broad Spectrum SPF 35 PA+++

This is the perfect sunscreen for the winter time or transition from autumn to winter. This is a sunscreen in a moisturizer. It's creamy and soothing for the skin but quite thick to rub into the skin for my taste.

Biore UV Athlizm skin protect milk

Biore UV Athlizm skin protect milk

   

This is my go-to sunscreen during the summer of 2020 when we have to wear masks during this hot summer. Typical asian sunscreen when you have to shake the bottle. Perfect for oily skin all year round. No white cast, great for athletes.

Biore UV Athlizm skin protect essence sunscreen

  

I was so excited when Biore launched "Athlizm" for athletics or people that "sweat a lot" in the hot weathers. I used this watery based sunscreen during the humid summer and windy autumn seasons this year. I did like that there wasn't any white cast nor stickiness. I love the light glow after this lightweight application. There is a slight smell of alcohol for those that have smell sensitivities. 

SHISEIDO Urban Environment UV Protection Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 40

SHISEIDO
Urban Environment UV Protection Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 40

This product is more for the body than the face for me. There is a slight white cast if you apply and you have to rub it a bit. But it feels thick for the summertime on my face. I waited a few months and used it during the wintertime for my face and still will not recommend it for the face. My face feels so dry after being the office with heat.

Benefit Hello Happy Foundation

This is a good natural light coverage summer foundation. I do like the squeezable light weight for traveling. Setting this foundation makes the foundation last a bit longer. There's a lot a bit of sunscreen in this product.

Senka UV Essence Sunscreen

 
I love this product that I discovered on my trip to Taiwan. It was packaged next to everyone's favorite Biore UV Watery Gel so I didn't think twice and brought this. There isn't a white case, and it applies on smooth without the scent of alcohol. Love this all year round especially during the summer,

 

Biore Aqua Rich Watery Gel

I brought this on my trip to Taiwan because everyone on IG and the internet was raving about it. There isn't anything special about this except it doesn't leave a white cast. But it smells like alcohol!!! I like this for the summer because of the humidity but I suggest to use a gel cream moisturizer under it so your skin doesn't dry out.

Shiseido Extra Smooth Sun Protection Cream

 

It has a white cast but it disappears after you rub it in.
I don't like that the SPF is 38, to me it just seems a bit low. 
I have dry sensitive skin so it was the right moisture for my skin. I usually apply this and wait 5 minutes and then apply foundation and it seems fine. I have been using this on my face in the drier colder weather conditions during the autumn and winters in the northeastern area of the US. However, I will not repurchase because there are many sunscreens to try out.
