"I think the Physical UV Defense by Skinceuticals, the tinted one, although it's not a universal tint, is better than a white one because it tends to melt into your skin better. It is a titanium and zinc combo, not a hybrid with anything chemical, so I think those are great sunscreens that you can use."

"I use Skinceuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense, which is a tinted one, SPF 50. I think that this one actually is extremely lightweight and that is why I like it because I just basted my face and this goes on very easily. It does have a cast in darker skin tones because it is a physical one, but physical ones are just going to have a cast until we figure out how to make them even better without the cast. It's a slightly grainy sunscreen but it eventually meshes in and you don't really feel it. There's hardly any scent to it and it's light, it's so light."
