You’re very welcome! Glad you’re loving this list! 🤗
I use the Black Girl Sunscreen for my face. I have sensitive skin and it has never caused problems. I’m prone to acne and it doesn’t make me break out.
Effectiveness is midrange. I burn easily and quickly. I’ve never burned with it but I have had more freckles show up meaning some sun damage did occur. This is not uncommon for me so I’d still say it is a good sunscreen.
Thanks for letting us know how well that sunscreen has been working on your skin, Elaine! Glad you’ve been pleased with it overall. ❤️
Love to see this! Thanks for posting these brands!
You’re most welcome! 💕
Love The Lip Bars lipgloss and matte lipstick it’s not drying and all her products are vegan. The Black Girl Sunscreen is my go to because everything else I’ve tried leaves a white cast on my skin tone. Thanks for an informative post! I didn’t know about some of the other stuff.
You’re welcome, Jes D! 🤗 Thanks a bunch for your review on that lipgloss, lipstick and sunscreen! Much appreciated! 💕🙌
Excited to try the LuvScrub. I went to their actual website to purchase mine. They offer free shipping in the USA. I’m not sure if it still works, but I used coupon code nomoreloofah and snagged an additional 15 % off.
SWEET! Thanks for the heads up on the deal you found for that one! 💕🙌
I love black girl sunscreens. I use it everyday. Thank you for the post. I learn some new brands to try.
You’re welcome, Tawana! 💕
Thanks for this spotlight post – love it – keep ’em coming! 🙂
I definitely use Black Girl Sunscreen and I’ve tried The Lip Bar and Mented products before too. But this brought some new players into the ring for me to try and I’ll have to give them a go.
You bet! Thanks for the feedback, ElleMcGhee! Happy you’re loving the post! 🙌❤️ Hoping you love the other items you’ll be trying! 💕🤞
