Being from Minnesota, this isn't the most ideal time of the year to review a sunscreen since about 90-95% of my body is covered in multiple layers when I am outside, but what this sunscreen offers that many do not is that it is tinted and the only part of my body I really desire to have a tinted sunscreen, like Sun Si'belle Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen, for is the small percentage that is exposed outside year round, my face.
This sunscreen is for me and only me. My children and husband do not have the desire that I have to use a tinted sunscreen on my my face. Every year that I get older I am realizing more and more that my complexion changes and doesn't look as smooth as it did in my youth. I don't like like applying both a foundation or moisturizer as well as sunscreen because it starts to make my skin feel like there is stuff on it. I like the feeling that my skin is bare, even if it isn't. I have tried foundations and tinted moisturizers that have SPF protection, but that have been anywhere from from 5-20 SPF and being a fair skinned Minnesotan that is just not high enough of an SPF for my face. I am pleased with this having a 30 SPF and being tinted.
The picture below show what it looks like when I first swiped it on my skin without rubbing it in. It blended in well with my skin just leaving a shimmer. I had read the reviews about a white tinge, but I didn't notice that right now but I am pretty pale right now. I can't say that it won't have that look when I start to tan, but I do expect that a bit when it is a mineral sunscreen. Other mineral sunscreens I have used do leave a white shimmer when I have used them. I am happy with this product so far.

I don't know that I have ever heard of tinted sunscreen! Thanks for the honest recommendation. I hope it works for you. My family calls me "The Mighty Whitey." Ha ha! kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you.
