'HOW YOU GET ORGANIC AVOBENZENE' I'm deceased yooo
LMAO 😂
Absolutely Crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the video. We dark skinned people tend to understimate the importance of sunscreen 😂 Also we tend to look ashy with sunscreen haha
Cancer doesn't discriminate sis.
dandilyonz cassandra I thought the same way, but this current red itchy burn on my arm has made my opinion otherwise lol. I don't know if the sun is getting hotter or what, but it's not like it used to be.
dandilyonz cassandra Dark skin loves can get Cancer just like we can get sunburn. It's rare, but it happens. I've been burned too many times.
dandilyonz cassandra for people living in tropical islands or anywhere near the earth equator, I know that the sun rays are extremely strong and can be very damaging to the skin because they are exposed to it everyday. You are definitely right that melanin protects from the sun, but unfortunately it's not a full-proof guarantee 😟 Even if it's not cancer (we have enough of that already...😒), I know that it can cause hyperpigmentation. Unfortunately I have not been blessed with a gorgeous dark skin so I stick to my ashy, greasy sunscreen when I go back to Martinique.
dandilyonz cassandra lol wtf melanin isn't enough to protect you from aging. It doesn't hurt anyone to wear sunscreen.
*we too broke to have these tastes* lmao I'm deadddddd😂😂😂
I didn't realise I needed this video till you posted it
exactly how i feel
yes
That's what we love to hear mwahahahah
all a part of NC's dastardly plan.
same 😂
That "I'm feeling discouraged" moment was SO REAL! Lol! That's exactly how I felt at my friends Mary Kay party trying out the samples. Nothing worked!
You should definitely try the Asian/Japanese sunscreens. They go on pretty much clear and must are SPF 50 +, which is recommended. Which is better than the SPF 30. Also UVA rays are the ones that causes most skin cancers since it penetrates deeper into the skin, as opposed to UVB which involves more superficial damage (Sunburns). As such, Looking at both the SPF rating for UVB rays (30 vs 50) and the PA +++ rating for UVA rays (plus signs) is also important. Most Japanese brands include the PA ratings, while some US brands are late to the party.
LeAlyk do you have any suggestions? I have a Korean one but it's super ashy
The one I have is Biore UV perfect milk
LeAlyk Yes! I love Japanese sunscreens. I especially love sunkiller. It has no white cast and alcohol. It's for sensitive skin.
***** try Amazon. Or an Asian market like H Mart
I love Korean/Japanese sunscreens. You can also get them at ohlolly.com and sokoglam.com.
omg for $65 dollars I better be able to fly into the sun!! Were too broke to have these tastes!!!! girl u need to do standup or something my sides hurt from laughing
Haha 65 is the cheapest one in Brazil
LM AO no u
The Murad one even made your skin look nicer! 😮
photoshop in a bottle
IG-worthy sunscreen LOL
I better be able to fly into the sun.....😂😂😂😂😂
That part had me too tickled! 😂😂😂
Kaywaynephotos i know thats right!🙄
LMAO I'm here for Evelyn and the laughs she gives me.
"i feel like glossier makes makeup for people who don't need makeup" truuueee
Evelyn's reaction to the Murad was my reaction to the sample I received from Sephora. And then I went to purchase from Sephora and saw that price tag and fell out like Karlie Redd did when she saw that engagement ring from Lyfe. I use a Korean sunscreen called Misha Sun Essence. It's spf 45 and PA+++, it does leave me a little shiny but I just set it with a translucent powder on my non-makeup days and it solves the shiny skin problem.
Hutch cosign on the misha! for 12 bucks it does the job without the ash.
I didn't even know there were sunscreens that weren't thick and white. As pale as I am, sunscreen always proves that I CAN look even paler. And gosh do my acne scars GLISTEN in the sun with it on. But I also need like SPF 50 reapplied every half hour, so I'll stick to low end.
Tracie Irene okay Becky :)
123 456 no need to undermine people's comments
123 456 Don't be rude...what was all of that for stupid ?!
Tracie Irene Really? We have plenty of gel and thin sunscreens in India. We have our fair share of thick gloopy ones too, but a search on Amazon shows good non thick sunscreens easily.
+123 456 what are you so mad about exactly
First thing I did was look in the description box for a link to Evelyn's shirt!! lol ; Thanks Evelyn!
**sings** this is ALLLLLLL BLACK!
😂😂
Afro Khadisiac me too !!!!!
"WE TOO BROKE TO HAVE THESE TASTES!!!"
tell am bo!
Yes, I'm too broke for the Murad. It is my favorite sunscreen and primer. I absolutely love it and it doesn't break me out. Get the large one for $80.....all the coins gone 💸💸
Try a Japanese sunscreen. they are exactly the same texture and so much cheaper. Around 9 dollars with free shipping on ebay. Biore makes good one. Really idk when will people realize that japan already figured it out and they never use greasy and heavy sunscreens like the ones in the west.
reem h what brand do you suggest?
Get the Biore UV watery essence, Skin Aqua UV Milk, Nivea Sun gel, etc. Those are all great Asian sunscreens imo. Esp the skin aqua
Once when I was like 9 one of my white friends let me use her sunscreen and in my head I'm like "does this girl not realise I'm going to change hue" but I needed some so I thought aaahhhhhhhh fuggit
It went on like lotion! It didn't make me purple (or low-key silver, I go silver). I was shook.
Do you remember what sunscreen it was 😳😳
YALL SHOULD START A PODCAST FRFR OMG ID BE SO HAPPY
Bria Younger please
I second that!
"My favorite sunscreen is melanin ^_^" Nah black people, imma need us to stop with that 😂😂😂
Annmarie Grant exactly. Forever acting like we don't get skin cancer or get burned. I swear they have me thinking I'm the only black girl that burns under the sun for 5 minutes
Jayarie
You are.
petty wap 😂😂😂
Sequoiah Dreams I’m mixed and I never know whether I should protect my skin with SPF or not because of my vitamin D deficiency and my grey skin since I’m living in grey areas. But also I would like to protect my skin for hats UV rays.
But it’s true that darker skin are naturally more protected to sun than fair skins.
I can stay in direct sun for several hours without getting a sunburn, the last sunburn I had was when I was 6 or 7, since I was much more fair than now.
But I really easily tan. Don’t know if that’s bad or not
Annmarie Grant LOOOL, deadass
The Murad really is that good. You eat ramen fourteen days a month to afford it, but damn it is SO worth the $80 (the big one, I think the smaller one is $65).
amystubby are you fucking kidding me...FOR THE SMALL ONE 😡
I have the small one and a little goes a long way, it's lasted months and is gonna last even more months. Definitely worth the money
Narnicorn the small one is the one that's like 0.17 ounces or something around that right
Sam S 0.17 ounces for $65 ?! damnnnnn lol
G U lol don't worry it's not that insane! it's 1 oz for $65 and 1.7 for $80. The little .17 oz one is usually in kits but I've seen them sell on eBay for around $8
1. I love y'all and the work you're out here doing.
2. that coola mineral sunscreen was straight committing a crime against melanin.
3. mitigate the price of the Murad sunscreen by getting as many samples of it as these stores will let you walk out the door with (usually at least 3 per store).
Also, if they make the sample, use it within a week; if it's pillow packed/pre-packaged, use a pin to make a hole and use it that way. these things can lose efficacy when exposed to air long-term. ❤✌
nyasha patrice thanks for the advice
I missed these two! 😍😍😍
Missed y'all too!
When Evelyn looks up & says "I'm discouraged" it was so adorable but I think a tiny little bit of my heart broke seeing her look so crestfallen!
Why do I have to watch this twice....so funny. "A woman set aside"☺
I actually watched this video yesterday. I cast it as a part of a long que to my TV as I washed dishes and watched CZcams videos. Needless to say I enjoyed this video so much that I remembered to come back and say so and to thank you for the video. But yall have also caused me to budget for ONE MORE EXPENSIVE THING for my impending trip to Costa Rica! Now to sign up on the Murad website in hopes I can catch a sale before my trip. Great video ladies.
I laughed hard at 2:52. ❤❤
The "Oh no... oh nooo" made me lol! Dang, hilarious.
Okay, real talk. Dark skinned people... please be careful you don't become deficient in vitamin D. Black people in Great Britain tend to have difficulties getting enough vitamin D because it's so cloudy and dreary out there. Ya'll need more sun than most to be healthy. 🌞
Y'all the true heroes for doing this 😭
My favorite is sunscreen is Murad as well it took me years to find something that worked with my skin type and color. Hate the $65 price tag but if you have a Health Saving Account with your employer you can get reimbursed or use the HSA debit card to purchase it from any store that sales it, (most companies use the cards only). I brought it at Ulta(with my coupon) and Sephora with no problem.
when you two make a video it makes my day...yall are soo funny!!!
this was the most hysterical helpful video EVER!!! Jackie Aina recommended this video and I am not mad at it at all!! Thanks ladies. Im subscribing now! ... and buying that Murad.
I love how the two of you work together!
This is my first video and I absolutely love it ! Subscribed. Done and done 👏🏼🤣
This was HILARIOUS! lol @ 6:28 The Murad results was soooo nice, good coverage without the greasy or ashy look.. but the price though *cries*
Try a Japanese sunscreen. they are exactly the same texture and so much cheaper. Around 9 dollars on ebay. Biore makes good ones.
I got a sample of their City Suncreen and it was so nice I damn near cried when I looked at the price 😭
Google User nah , they leave ur skin shiny
Bobby Shmurda
It’s better to just put mineral powder on a shiny face than spend a whole 65$ lmao…
I use organic products so I just had to embrace my lavender tint 😂😂😂
alison hilaire lmao...me too. I can't stand those damn mineral sunscreens, but it's the only ones I'll use.
I don't know if it's the same in the US, but in France where I live, organic sunscreens are always mineral. The ones that don't make you ashy have nano particles which are almost as controversial as chemical sunscreens...😟 So I just decided to go for the ashy/greasy look when I go back to my very sunny West Indian birthplace: La Martinique 😅
alison hilaire I am not sure about all organic sunscreens being mineral sunscreens here. The ones I use are non nano zinc based. I've been using foundation powder over mine to hide the grey tint, but I am not a huge fan of wearing makeup that often. Hopefully they will make something non toxic that doesn't leave a residue eventually.
Sherifah Arenstein Yes, crossing my fingers for that too 😉In some organic sunscreens, there is karanja oil which is supposed to have the ability to absorb UV rays. I thought about using it in France because I'm never really exposed to the sun here and the rays are not really strong. However in tropical islands, sunscreen is a must-have, especially since I have a complexion similar to Nikki's.
raspberry seed oil supposedly has 25 spf but i wouldn't dare to use it on its own.
The sunscreen video I've been searching for, all my life! Thank you girls 😘
Oh my god. You guys crack me uup! Like I could watch the two of you review honestly anything and you would have me rolling
Hilarious AF! I was just trying to find out some info on sunscreens and hit gold with you two. More please.
I LOVE sunscreen...in order for sunscreen to be effective 1/2 tsp needs to be applied to the face and neck. I'm paper white so I don't have a problem with applying 1/2 tsp, so not sure if this would effect the ashy-ness for dark skin tones. Also, I looked at the ingredients for the Glossier sunscreen because it looked promising but it contains orange peel oil...usually anything citrus degrades in the sunlight causing it to be phototoxic.
Okay I commented previously before finishing the video but I just finished the video and this is exactly what we need on CZcams! Y'all are so funny and lighthearted I really enjoyed this video
Nikki and Evelyn are my favorite combo..their humor and personalities are perfect together
Try Japanese or Korean sunscreens. They are cheap and amazing. I personally like sunkiller moisture plus.
The sunkiller perfect strong moisture is my fave, and it's so good under makeup and so hydrating. But for oily skin loads of dry matte products (and there are so many that if you have any allergies/things that break you out there will be something for you) exist. /r/asianbeauty on Reddit has huge numbers of suggestions
XXLYS Yes! I used to love and be active in that sub, and it was how I started getting into skincare. It is definitely helpful for people looking for information, I definitely recommend to start there if anyone needs help.
honestly, it's very hard to find truly matte asian sunscreens. The only ones i've come across are biore perfect milk, innisfree no sebum and to an extent etude house sunprise.
For dark skin?
Yes! I have dark skin and used to use the Murad until I discovered Asian sunscreens. The CosRx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream feel like a light moisturizer. The (2015) Biore Sarasara Aqua Rich Watery Essence or Watery Gel are pretty legendary and leave no white-cast/ashiness.
Evelyn!! Your method of application for the unsun sunscreen looked like manual labour! Lol now i know to steer clear- can't be dealing with muscly fingertips ..!
Vroxzz Roxz not muscly fingertips 😂😂😂
This was such a helpful video, I actually searched for content on sunscreen weeks prior and couldnt find much that would help the darker skinned gal. Thanks for posting!
OMG THANK YOU!!!! I legit have been searching for a non ashy sunscreen for months 🙌🏿
I was screaming laughing this entire video! You girls are hilarious 😂😂
"I'm feeling discouraged" 😂😂 !
You guys are too cute! Love the exaggerated hand motions when you tried spreading the thick sunscreens haha!
I can't describe how much I love you guys! Thanks for this!!
Aunt Jackie sent me and I’m glad she did you guys are so funny 😂
I’m feeling discouraged #notspon
physical sunscreens use zinc or titanium oxide which causes the ashy colour, while chemical sunscreens tend not to be ashy since they don't use those ingredients. Chemical sunscreens absorb the rays and break down quickly under the sun while physical sunscreen reflects the rays but are more prone to coming off in wet conditions or when you sweat a lot. I have a preference for physical sunscreens since chemical sunscreens can still cause pigmentation since it tends to warm up the skin.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE thar Murad! I'm so glad you guys had it in your line-up!
Just discovered you guys looking for sunscreen recommendations, and I absolutely love you two!
Came from Jackie Aina's channel. Loving it!
I love you two so much ❤️
I swear you two make the best videos! Informative and hilarious at the same time.
I watched a multitude of these videos but immediately subscribed after watching this one. I don't know why I was sleeping on this channel.
"Don't tell me I like this!"
My favorite is Paula's Choice Extra Care Non-Greasy Sunscreen SPF 50. It's ~$16/150mL (on Amazon, not sure about drug store), does not leave a white/ashy mask, and is dry touch.
I am so glad yall made this video!!
evelyn's skin is so radiant and clear
Which is the most mindful and gentle (least toxic, paraben-free etc) on the skin?
I came here from Jackie aina but was laughing the whole time. Girl for $65 I'm flying in that sun whichu but if we die Ima leave a note that says murad made me do it lmfao
THIS WAS 100% NECESSARY!!! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!
this is so encouraging! i didn't know that there were so many sunscreens that actual worked for darker skin. i'm going to have to pick up that neutrogena or glossier quick!
I have to use sunscreen because even though I'm dark skin I have a very sensible skin and I have an allergic reaction to direct sunlight, so I have to mix my 100 SPF Neutrogena with whatever foundation or CC cream I'm using for me to be protected and not ashy...
Noooooo! I've been avoiding the Murad for months, because broke. Now y'all like it and I've seen a demo so I really have no excuse 😭. I usually use Biore sunscreen, the Japanese version, but I ran out and didn't have time to wait for shipping so now I'm using one by cerave.
Chinaija buy the Sephora sun kit you get the murad one and the coverfx one in the set for like $25
This is the first video I've ever seen by y'all and I've already subscribed! Love the energy y'all have!!! 😄😘
I love every video you guys do together!!
"too broke to have those tastes" My life girl, my life!!
Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide combined together is what's going to give you that ashy look. It's also what causes flashback.
DarkAndDandy and unfortunately those are the best ingredients to have lol sometimes I just forfit and tolerate the ash for the better ingredients . I've heard great things about Mira's but I don't see those two ingredients
I'm not black but I love learning about how different skincare/cosmetics affect ladies of all colours, and I love how informed and funny you guys are! :)
I'm so happy you posted this
I hope the clear ones actually work out in the sun though. I'll definitely be ashy at the beach if it means I'm more protected lol
"I feel like glossier makes makeup for people who don't need makeup " Lol couldn't have said it better myself
I've been using the Neutrogena Clear Face SPF 55 for years and just lived with the ash since it didn't make me break out. But I'm gonna have to try that Ultra Sheer one. Thanks guys!
thank yu for making this! I work at a cosmetics store and am always stressing how important it is to wear spf daily, especially with the warmer weather approaching and even as a light skin latina, with my yellow and olive undertones certain spf's will ash on me. I can only imagine how much harder it is for other women of color. I'm taking away from this that possibly physical/mineral ones cause more of that ash, where as chemical ones do not? deff something I will definitely look into. again, thanks for the info and shout out to yall for the Dave Chappelle reference.
you really need to try Palmer's Shea butter sunscreen #melaninpoppin
you just put me on!!! lol I'm going to try it too cause I love palmers. thanks:')
l portis hmmm..... they have one? 🤔I want to try it.
michael50694 Yep and I love it 😍
Alexia Nicole The have it at Walmart 🙌😘
here's the link for those asking www.walmart.com/ip/Palmer-s-Cocoa-Butter-Formula-Eventone-Suncare-Cocoa-Butter-Moisturizing-Sunscreen-Lotion-SPF-30-8.5-fl-oz/43108619
😂😂😂 this was hilarious
"I better be able to fly into the sun..." You are hilarious, LOVE your video and rapport. 😁
Omg thanks for this and i love these two ladies! 💕 you just gained a new viewer! Subbed!
I used bananaboat spray on sunscreen spf70 last summer and it doesn't work at all...I walked out looking like I light pastey black girl who'd never seen the sun before came back inside looking like a honey bronze skin tone I had to get a all new foundations 😂
Sunscreen only protects from sun damage like getting sunburned !!
that's not true. it depends on the sunscreen filters in the formulation and if enough is applied and reapplied as needed.
I have a masters in chemistry and work in a lab that also formulates sunscreen. I am telling you for a fact, the myth of sunscreen to avoid tanning is fake
Anna Lopez still got sunburn and I reapplied following the instruction
Anna Lopez Really? You do? Well, in your first comment you claimed that suncreen only protects from things like sunburn and not tanning, though that tells me you have no idea what a tan is. A tan is your body's natural reaction to try and protect you from the sun (hence why darker skinned people burn less on average since their body actively has that small layer of protection) but it is only needed should UVB rays actually penetrate the skin. Physical sunscreens reflect the UVB rays away from your body, thus meaning tanning is far less likely (tanning is just the first stage of a sunburn, it can't protect against the extreme if it can't protect against the basics). Chemical suncreens take in the UVB rays and usually convert them into different energy, usually heat hence why you might feel a bit warmer with a chemical suncreen on. Not only that but with the fact that you only said you had a Master's degree in Chemistry and not in say healthcare sciences, pharmaceuticals, cosmetology, or biochemistry, I'm having a hard time believing that you're qualified to actually formulate any type of skincare product.
Jackie Aina sent me, you guys are hilarious lmao
This video was exactly what I needed exactly when I needed. Thanks ladies
I watched this when it dropped and had to look for it because I just had my own purple ash experience after learning I need a sunscreen because of all the sun exposure I’ve been getting. Super helpful and still funny!!
Try asian sunscreens. Theyre more cosmetically elegant and cheaper than murad. Maybe around glossier price or less
Review Asian sunscreens!!
I love their relationship ! So glad I found this channel !
I hollered!!!!! Love y'all!!!
I will sacrifice the extra 10 minutes it takes to rub in the zinc oxide just to avoid the irritation that comes with the chemical sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens make my skin burn!
I needed this video! You don't know how much everyone appreciates this!!!
I'm allergic to chemical sunscreens so my only options are sunblocks that make me look like Casper.
btw Neutrogena sheer zinc spf 30 is not for you if you're darker than nc20. It made me white n greasy AF.
Greydrops I have the same problem :(
it didn't make me greasy but the ASH. better than other mineral sunscreens I've tried, but not by much.
Greydrops you should try Bare Republic sunscreen. It's a good mineral sunscreen that leaves no white cast. you can find it at Target for $15
Greydrops Lots of Asian physical sunscreen products exist. If you check /r/asianbeauty there's bound to be lots of recommendations.
XXLYS I have a hard time finding the ingredients list in english, but when I do they're usually a cross between chemical n physical. Also, the asian market enjoys whitening products even if it means a ghastly white cast lol.
Lorena M is it thick or does it feel light like something u could use everyday?
I had such an amazing time watching this video and I don't even have a tan... You are amazing!! And I am even thinking of buying the very expensive Murad one because of you guys!
Yo, I'm watching these videos with a cold. Laughing so hard it helps me cough up the shot in my lungs! Thanks for the laughs & the great advice, even for a girl with 2A waves
Jackie sent me here.... Glad she did #newsub
I love you guys 😄
Literally in tears when they put on the UNSUN
I could see the daylong line for sensitive skin doing really well here. It has a gel-like consistency and absorbs suuuuuper fast.
Jackie Aina sent me!
Sent here by jackie
yes!!!! This is the video i've been looking for. Do more physical sunscreens please
Y'all are a riot, I subscribed straight away. Keep it up!
