Youth The People- Youthscreen (Sunscreen)
My Experience
I’ll be honest—I haven’t always been a sunscreen person. Now that I’m in my mid-30s, I’ve made it a priority. I know daily SPF is one of the best things you can do for healthy, youthful-looking skin, even on days when you’re not wearing makeup.Originally, I went to Sephora planning to purchase the Tatcha sunscreen, but it was sold out. Rather than wait, I wanted to find a sunscreen that met a few non-negotiables:AffordableLightweightNo white castComfortable under makeupDidn’t leave my skin feeling oily Youthscreen checked every box.
Wear Test: I tested this under a full face of makeup, and I was genuinely impressed. It applies in a thin, lightweight layer, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t cause foundation to separate, pill, or slide throughout the day.After about 9 hours of wear, I noticed a bit of dryness. However, I believe that was more likely caused by the foundation I was wearing than the sunscreen itself. Overall, it held up really well and didn’t contribute to any unwanted shine or greasiness.
Final Thoughts: For the price, I think this sunscreen is an excellent value.It’s lightweight, comfortable enough for everyday wear, and works beautifully under both natural makeup and full glam. The fact that it offers SPF 60 without leaving a white cast or heavy feeling makes it even more impressive.If you’re looking for a sunscreen that feels more like skincare than sunscreen, this is definitely one I’d recommend adding to your routine.

Summer is officially here, and this year I’m sharing more of my personal skincare and makeup routine, along with honest tips, product reviews, and beauty finds.Each month, I’ll feature the products I love, the products I would repurchase, and the ones that simply did not work for me.I’ll be honest: I have been fortunate not to struggle with significant acne, scarring, or major skin concerns. My biggest challenge is finding products that feel lightweight, work with my active lifestyle, and keep my makeup looking fresh throughout the day. Heavy products often feel uncomfortable on my skin, while certain formulas cause my makeup to separate, move, or look cakey.I also understand how easy it is to spend money on trending beauty products simply because they are popular online or heavily promoted.
I have done it too—and more than once, I have purchased a viral product only to be disappointed.That is why my reviews will always be based on my genuine experience. I purchase the products myself, primarily from Sephora, Ulta Beauty when I am in the United States, and occasionally Winners.This space is for anyone looking for honest skincare reviews, lightweight makeup recommendations, summer beauty tips, and straightforward opinions about what is truly worth buying.Expect monthly favourites, beauty misses, hidden gems, and practical recommendations designed to help you shop more confidently—and hopefully avoid a few disappointing purchases along the way.
