Best & Worst! Testing Mineral Sunscreen 2018

It’s time for my annual post on the Best & Worst All-Mineral Sunscreens that I tested this year!

The good news is that everybody’s coming out with mineral sunscreens now! The bad news is most of them leave a white cast, are too shiny, feel heavy and greasy, or make foundation slide around & settle into wrinkles (ugh)…

This year I tried 16 mineral sunscreens looking for ones that look good on my face, feel light and dry, and work well under makeup. It’s a tall order so there were lots of fails in this group, but I did find some good ones and hopefully you’ll be able to find one here too!
