How Do You Avoid Looking Like a Ghost After Applying SPF? Get The Right One.
If there’s one thing we know about sunscreen, it’s that it shouldn’t leave a white cast on your skin. White cast is universally hated, and the search for a truly protective SPF that won’t leave you ashy has the internet in a chokehold. From videos testing efficacy with UV light to mass sunscreen hauls, our FYP is flooded with sunscreen. In the spirit of community, we have to tell you…we’ve found the holy grail. 🙌 It’s called Hueguard 3-in-1 Mineral SPF from Live Tinted, and it’s the best damn sunscreen we’ve ever put on our faces. The whole staff tried it, and we’ve got to say…this stuff is legit.
Here’s five reasons why you should buy this sunscreen (and why you’ll never look for another).
1. It Leaves Zero White Cast
Sunscreens are designed to protect your skin from radical photodamage. Since most sunscreens contain titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which remain on the skin’s surface rather than being absorbed, they tend to leave a white cast, leading to an unwanted ashy look. Mineral sunscreens are the way to go if you want to avoid the potentially harmful ingredients that can be found in chemical sunscreens, but they’ve been historically frustrating for people of color because of the visible white cast that zinc could leave on skin.
Live Tinted’s Hueguard 3-in-1 Mineral SPF is made with non-nano zinc for a weightless formula that blends seamlessly into the skin, without a white cast. We recommend stocking up on a few so you’re not left on the waitlist every time it sells out.
2. It Can Multitask—Moisturizes, Primes, & Protects Skin In One Step
This sunscreen isn’t just a sunscreen; it’s also a moisturizer and primer. We’ve dubbed it holy grail for a reason–this formula does it all and gives us more space in our medicine cabinet. This one product can simplify your entire routine, and is perfect for no-makeup days, as Hueguard can be worn alone or under makeup. Its Broad Spectrum SPF 30 protects from harmful UVA/UVB rays and blue light, hydrates dry skin, and blurs imperfections. It gets better…it’s so lightweight, it blends like magic and disappears into skin right away, making it a great option for oily skin types.
Its powerful formula works head-to-toe and will keep you sun protected all year round. All you need is a nickel-sized amount for your face and neck for everyday moisture and protection. Apply as needed on the rest of your body, and don’t forget to re-apply throughout the day, especially after being in direct sunlight for best results.
3. It’s For All Skin Tints
Everyone on our team has tried this sunscreen and experienced the same flawless results, no matter their skin tone. It goes to show how this product is truly formulated for everyone, with all skin shades in mind. Founded on the basis of inclusivity, Live Tinted was born because of the founder’s struggle to find products that would work for her darker skin. Led by Deepica Mutyala, a woman of color herself, it’s no wonder they know a thing or two about products that don’t look wrong on darker skin tones.
Don’t just take our word on it, their website is flooded with five-star reviews of customers sharing their transformational results after using the Hueguard 3-in-1 Mineral SPF…
4. It Is So Affordable For Luxury Quality
Sunscreen is meant to be applied liberally and often, so it should be affordable. Quality doesn’t have to come at a steep cost, and Live Tinted gets that. While the Hueguard 3-in-1 Mineral SPF may seem like a luxury product with its sleek packaging and internet-famous status, it’s actually reasonably priced at $32, which is still below competitors like Supergoop, La Roche-Posay, SkinCeuticals, Avène, and Kosas.
Available in three convenient sizes: original, jumbo and mini, there’s an option for every lifestyle. If you want to try it out before committing to the full size, the Glow Up Essentials Set comes with the mini size and is a great way to experience their best-selling products. Plus, it’s always a good idea to have a mini size with you to reapply on the go.
Its effectiveness, premium quality, and amazing value make the Hueguard well worth it. Investing in this sunscreen means investing in your skin’s health and appearance, without breaking the bank.
5. It’s Made By a Clean Brand
The brand stands by some pretty reputable, responsible, and clean practices across the board. All their products are clean, vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, dermatologist tested, non-comedogenic (won’t break you out) and reef-friendly. Their sustainability also extends to their packaging, with the Hueguard’s 100% PCR tube. All Live Tinted products are made in the USA and packed with skincare ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamins C and E, and Squalane that hydrate and brighten skin. Their pigments are carmine-free, making all products 100% safe for your skin.
They’ve redefined what “clean beauty” means by creating cutting edge, clean formulas optimized for deeper complexions that work on all skin tints, while minimizing environmental impact since their inception.
This Universal Sunscreen Is The First of Its Kind
This is by far the best sunscreen we’ve ever used. Our standards are so high after using it, it’s the only one we would ever use. The Hueguard 3-in-1 SPF’s innovative, clean, mineral sunscreen offers the best of both worlds: skincare and beauty all packaged into one seamless, easy to use product that simplifies your routine.
Live Tinted provides a diverse community with clean, innovative, and quality products formulated with deeper skin tones in mind, and the Hueguard is the perfect example. The fact that it does more than just protect your skin makes us love it even more, and we know you will too. Before Live Tinted, we thought there was no such thing as the perfect sunscreen, let alone one that could work for everyone, but we can confidently say we’ve found it.
What could be better than an everyday sunscreen that moisturizes and creates the perfect canvas for makeup by priming your skin? We truly can’t recommend it more, and know it’s the last sunscreen you’ll ever buy. It’s so good there’s no excuse not to use one.
