Hands Down, This Is The Best Sheer Mineral Sunscreen (It NEVER Leaves A White Residue!)

Let us introduce you to the best ever mineral sunscreen that NEVER leaves a white residue: La Suite's Sheer Physical UV Protection ($34).

Founder of la suite skincare located in Greenwich CT and at Union Square Laser Dermatology in NYC Rhea Souhleris Grous turned me onto the product after I returned from a tropical vacation with my skin a mess.

She explained that, “The way a chemical sunscreen works is that it absorbs into the skin (you need to wait 15 mins to take effect). The chemical presence absorbs the sun ray and then transfers it into heat (which is parked on the surface of the skin) to prevent a burn. Although it protects from sun damage, that heat, for people who have rosacea, melasma, sensitive, and hyperpigmented skin, can increase irritation.” Yikes!

As Rhea put it, melasma flares with the presence of heat, so a chemical SPF is not an ideal choice for people like myself. I've seen so many benefits to switching to mineral sunscreen since--few breakouts, fewer dark spots. And the La Suite product also means that I can wear it without ever having to worry about white streaks on my face. Shop now:
