There is, however, one category of products that I will always, always try: mineral sunscreen.
In my 15-year career, Ive taken every single one thats come across my desk for a test drive.
Thats largely because I firmly believe sunscreen is the absolute most important skincare product you might use.

Its also the one product I use without fail every single day.
Eczema, allergic contact dermatitis, perioral dermatitis, fungal acneyou name it, Ive probably dealt with it.
And its not just me.

The only thing I love more than a mineral sunscreen?
Byrdie / Melanie Rud
A tinted mineral sunscreen.
My morning skincare routine is super minimal most days I go without makeup.
It is mineral-based, relying on 3.2% titanium dioxide and 21.6% zinc oxide.
Its also fragrance-free, other criteria I personally always look for in a face sunscreen (#sensitiveskinclub).
And the tint did totally mitigate any potential white cast for me, personally.
The fact that this formula is tinted isnt just a cosmetic win.
Iron oxides are what give mineral sunscreens their hue, explains Gohara.
The formulas I gravitate towards are usually a bit creamier and allow me to get away without moisturizer.
When I applied this on completely bare skin, I found I definitely needed a layer of moisturizer underneath.
The sunscreen went on a bit smoother and blended in more easily when my skin was more hydrated.
But, if your skin is oily or combination, you may very well feel differently.
I also liked that it was very easy to wash off at the end of the day.
Happily, not at all.
The price is extremely fair, and personally, Id probably even pay a little more for it.
While it isnt super hydrating, it is very lightweight and layers beautifully under makeup.
