It’s 2021 and more people understand the importance of sunscreens in a skincare routine for ANY skin type. As a POC, sunscreens with no white cast are definitely more favored and I’m always on the lookout for them. In this post, I’ll be sharing different sunscreens you can add to your routine that leave ZERO white cast. This includes the price points, where you can shop them in Nigeria and abroad, and also links to detailed reviews on some of them.

Sunscreens Update:

This is my first Japanese sunscreen, it’s a chemical sunscreen and I read a lot of great reviews about it.

One thing I’ve noticed about Japanese sunscreens is that they always have several variations to suit different preferences and I love it! They mostly vary in terms of texture, white cast, waterproof quality, etc. This one has a gel version, the brand features many other variations and you can just check them out.

Don’t forget to use my discount code KHAIRAH21 if you order any of the other variations!

There are so many more sunscreens and I’ll probably share them in a sequel! One thing to notice with these sunscreens is that they mostly come in small sizes so it’s a great idea to purchase as often as you can.


Thank you for reading and I hope the list was quite helpful! You can use the links above to purchase the products and my Yesstyle discount code as well.

Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried this sun cream before and what you think of it🖤
