At last – mineral sunscreens that don’t make you look like a ghost


The best new products are light, ungreasy – and leave no white cast

But all this goodness comes with a short but significant cons list: minerals are heavier, greasier and leave a trace, ranging from a fine, chalky veil to a ghostly white cast. It has a light, fluid texture that, while dewy and moisturising, is without the suffocating feel of traditional minerals (and thanks to the use of the somehow ungreasy oil squalane, it’s suitable for combination and moderately oily skins). Kate Somerville’s new HydraKate Illuminating SPF50+ Drops(£39) are also very impressive, giving visible glow without the telltale floury tinge and leaving skin well hydrated and ready to accept makeup.
