I will preface this by saying that I have been a MASSIVE fan of the Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid (review) having used a whole bottle last year (this is a big deal for someone like me who dances around from sunscreen to sunscreen depending on my mood) so I was truly excited when I was sent a Mineral and Vitamin C sunscreen to try!
Barrier Protect Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30*
With mineral formulations, I am always scared about the texture i.e. how thick is this mofo going to be and how long will I have to massage this into my skin until it vanishes? Well, let me tell you I was absolutely SHOCKED at how lightweight this texture was! It starts off gel and then becomes satin! What sorcery is this?? OMG, this is THE NICEST mineral sunscreen I have ever used that leaves no white cast whatsoever and vanishes into the skin like a whisper.
This immediately brightens and helps to prevent further pigmentation, has no white cast and has an incredibly sheer and fluid-like texture that massages effortlessly into the skin. I also found it perfectly hydrating these summer months though I am not sure whether it will be enough hydration for the upcoming winter months. I guess we will find out! All in all, this all in one product was everything I had hoped for and more!
I just realized that the tint of the products matches the colour of the tubes! You can see the gel to more fluid-like textures of the products in the swatches with the YEDHF almost running off my arm!
Final verdict: Beautiful. All three sunscreens are so lovely, layer well with makeup and have been so incredibly pleasant to use everyday. The Barrier Protect was a welcome mineral surprise, but the Vitamin C one I think I'm going to permanently incorporate into my morning routine because this is the dream product I didn't know I needed!
