The only thing lacking in my skincare is no Spf. What sunscreen works well under makeup? Also are chemical or physical (zinc oxide) sunscreens better than the other?

The thing that has been stopping me from using sunscreen is because all the ones I have tried so far make me feel oily or it feels heavy on my face.

I use Biotherm Sun Vivo spf 30. It's great for sensitive skin and under makeup. It doesn't smell or look shiny. I think that physical sunscreen is more effective because it whitens your skin a bit, therefore it reflects sunlight. But under makeup or for an invisible protection I'd go for a chemical one.

Chemical or physical sunscreens depends on what you personally prefer. I prefer a chemical because it doesn't leave me white (I'm black haha) after applying. Also I think it looks a lot better under makeup because it soaks into your skin rather than sit on top of it. I would suggest you check out a chemical spf :)

I would highly recommend the Loreal silky sheer SPF!! It's my favorite chemical sunscreen! It's more of a liquid and I can spread it evenly onto my face, soaks into my skin well, and doesn't leave me white. Works flawlessly under makeup:) it's like 10 dollars at walgreens or any other drugstore:)
