This has an SPF50 and is a mineral sunscreen but the minerals are very finely milled giving it a sheer finish, which is what I really like about this product. It has a flesh-coloured tint – a pale one – but by the time you’ve spread a good layer onto your face it feels like a make-up primer with a decent bit of colour-coverage, so I find it’s a good make-up alternative on my pale skin. If you are fair and have rosacea, it will help cover up flushing a bit, too, as well as giving you good, broad-spectrum protection from UV rays. Physical sunscreens are particularly good for sensitive or reactive skin.

The product has a flesh-coloured tint – a pale one as you can see if you take a look at the video, but by the time you’ve spread a good layer of this onto your face it feels like a make-up primer with a decent bit of colour-coverage, so I find it’s a good make-up alternative on my pale/caucasian skin. Physical/mineral sunscreens are particularly good for sensitive or reactive skin and because of the colour-cover you get with this, if you are fair and have rosacea, it will help cover up flushing a bit, too, as well as giving you good, broad-spectrum SPF50 protection from UV rays.

Hi Alice, can you please recommend a good eye cream & concealer for mature skin?
I'm a big fan of the Elequra Eye Architecture cream which is light, hydrating and supportive. Re a concealer, I'm loving Monika Blunder's Blundercover which is a foundation that you apply with a brush so you can dabble as much or as little under the eyes as you need. Or, I just use the Neostrata Sheer Physical Protection SPF50 all over my face and as it has a light tint, I find it makes a good concealer, too, if your colouring is at all like mine.
