If you’re like me and never leave the house without sunscreen, you know how hard it is to find the perfect one that won’t clog your pores, leave no white cast, feel light on the skin, and blend seamlessly under makeup. And also have no harmful ingredients!
As the weather gets warmer and I spend more time socializing outdoors, I’ve been looking for a good tinted sunscreen. I don’t like wearing foundation in the summer as it feels too heavy, but I still want my skin to look smooth.
Clean tinted sunscreen selection process:
- I analyzed full ingredient lists and used apps like Yuka to flag potentially harmful ingredients.
- I also read hundreds of user reviews and used fake-review detection tools to ensure the feedback was authentic.
- Lastly, I cross-checked recommendations with trusted beauty publications to ensure these picks are truly clean and well-loved.
