REN Clean Skincare Clean Screen Mineral Mattifying Face Sunscreen

Product Information

If you have had severe sunburn or intense exposure to the sun in the past, particularly in childhood, then you are also at a higher risk. Broadly, chemical sunscreen filters absorb UV light and convert it into heat and include ingredients such as octinoxate and avobenzone,” says Dr Jason Thomson, head of medical at Skin + Me.

Review: REN Clean Screen Mineral SPF 30 | BTY ALY

I have been considering this but the SPF30 was the one major thing that held me back, the rest being mineral and mattifying. Plus it has that gorgeous Nivea Sun smell, which makes cuddles with the tiny ones afterwards glorious. For most people, I think finding a great facial suncream is the biggest challenge: who wants a shiny, greasy, and/or ghostly face? In fact, Acting Senior Beauty Editor, Shannon Lawlor, says it's just as enjoyable to apply as a luxury face cream.It was easy to apply, but that's not much use when it didn’t provide enough sun protection in our tests. But if you intend to wear this sunscreen out, bare-faced, you risk your skin looking ashy and/or dull. The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. I’ve commented before telling you that on your recommendation I started using Derma E and then they sadly changed their formula.

For someone who struggles with hyperpigmentation like me, I do not run risks like this, hence my preference for SPF50 sunscreen at minimum. It is also ocean and reef-friendly, in that the ingredients will not damage the coral reefs if you wear this in the ocean. Now that you've chosen one for your face, it's important to give your body the same level of protection. If you add on top other criteria because you prefer to use a “clean” product (with no silicones, no alcohol, no filters that pollute the oceans, no chemical filters…), it’s even more complicated!

For those who are really, really sensitive to the sun and have allergies triggered by free radicals, this is ideal for everyday use in the summer. I find this suncream a little heavy and greasy for my combination skin, but think it would be great for dryer skin types. I will say that I am more sensitive than most when it comes to sunscreen, because I am particular about it, to the point of being anal. I have used so many since I found out how important SPF is and have had breakouts and oily skin because of them.
