Finally a sunscreen that does not make my black skin look like Casper
I’ve been meaning to write a review for this sunscreen but I have not made the time to do so until now. I’ve been looking for sunscreen that does not leave that white film on my black skin ; I read an article in O magazine where experts ( payed for by the sunscreen manufactures) list their top list of sunscreen that is great for black skin that does not leave us looking like freaks, I’m sad to report the ones I tried on that list were very expensive and did absolutely nothing; that’s not true, they did somethings: they cause me to screamed and mourned my hard earn money. I even tried La prairie which is suppose to be the best of the best. This one did nothing but invited all the pores on my face to a party. This line of Neutrogena sunscreen is a god send for my face. I live In Northern California and I go on long hikes with dog at least three times a week. My melanin soldiers along with this sunscreen keeps my skin protected without the creepy white film.
The best way I explained to my white friends how the sun feels on black skin vs white skin is to imagine laying in the sun under a black sheet then try the same thing with a white sheet. Yes, we too get burn
