Our Fave Non-Sticky Sunscreens That Won’t Leave A White Cast On Skin

These multi-tasking products are also great under and over makeup.

by FAZ GAFFA-MARSH  /   August 24, 2018

When it comes to the world of sunscreens, less is definitely not more. Apparently, most of us are applying only 25 percent the amount of sun protection we should be. Amanda Baldwin, President of Supergoop! advises, “Just when you think you’ve put on enough, put on some more.”

Of course, navigating the sunscreen product spectrum can be more than just a little overwhelming. Between jargons and SPF numbers, what exactly should one look out for?

Look for broad spectrum sun protection that gives you protection against UVB to avoid burning, and UVA, which is one of the greatest factors in premature aging of skin and it plays a role in skin cancer. Next, find one that does not have an ingredient called oxybenzone, a hormone disruptor that is also harmful to coral reefs. When it comes to SPF numbers, many dermatologists don’t necessarily think that the higher is better. The standard recommendation is 30 for everyday and 50 for those spending extended periods of time outdoors — but, it is important to reapply every two hours.

Some of our favourite sunscreens above.

If you never thought a sunscreen product could be fun, you thought wrong. Supergoop managed to inject some whimsy and personality into product reapplication with the Glow Stick Sunscreen. Instead of having to remove your makeup or mess it up to reapply lotion-based sunscreen, swipe handy Glow Stick all over your face and you’re done. Dab a little more and it doubles up as a highlighter too.

Invisible on any skin tone, this bestseller comes in a liquid texture that’s quickly absorbed by the skin within seconds, sans any stickiness. It makes the perfect foundation for makeup, and a little goes a long way.

Not only is this a super handy pocket-sized deodorant-like stick, the Korean brand’s nifty sunscreen can be applied over and under makeup. A mild white cast shows up on deeper skin tones but you can’t see it under or over makeup. It is SPF 50+ / PA+++ and non-sticky, making it perfect for reapplication throughout the day.

Skin Inc Hydrating Shield SPF30 PA++, $72

While it costs a pretty penny, the homegrown brand’s sunscreen offering also works as a moisturiser and anti-aging day lotion designed to protect your skin from day-to-day environmental stressors. Its non greasy formula is really a winner, especially for those with oily skin. It helps makeup stay put through the day too.

Supergoop! 100% Mineral Matte Screen SPF 40, $56

A one-shade-fits-all tinted primer that’s perfect on its own, or as a makeup-gripping primer under your war paint, this latest addition in the Supergoop! family contains Argan Oil that hydrates without feeling greasy, and White Mulberry Root, which helps brighten and even out your skin tone.
