Tips for Natural Sunscreen to Avoid White Marks

Mineral sunscreens are an excellent way to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays. However, one of the most common problems with mineral sunscreens is that they can leave white marks on the skin.

Why Mineral Sunscreens Leave White Marks?

Mineral sunscreens use minerals such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to scatter the sun's rays. White marks are caused by these minerals clumping on the skin or not being completely absorbed for various reasons.

Fortunately, we have formulated Baboon Natural sunscreen to prevent these problems, but we have some tips for you if you use a different sunscreen!

Tips to Avoid White Marks

If you are struggling with this problem, here are some tips to ensure that your mineral sunscreen goes on smoothly and does not leave a noticeable white mark:

1. Moisturise First: Moisturising your skin before applying sunscreen is important, especially for people with dry skin. However, moisturising the skin before sunscreen is beneficial for everyone.

Some sunscreens can be more difficult to apply because they do not have moisturising properties. Therefore, moisturising your skin before applying sunscreen helps the cream to apply smoothly and allows you to avoid white marks.

Our recommendation: Try usinga moisturising sunscreen!

1. Touch the Sunscreen Instead of Applying: It may vary depending on the product, but if you cannot get rid of white marks when you apply your sunscreen, try applying the sunscreen by touching it to your skin instead of applying it. Applying sunscreen can cause irregular application and obvious white marks due to inability to apply it. Instead, apply sunscreen by gently dabbing it on your skin.

1. Try Dotting Instead of Two Fingers: Using a small amount of sunscreen can increase the risk of sunburn and other sun-related skin problems. However, using too much sunscreen can also cause white marks.

To achieve the perfect balance, apply sunscreen in dots and small spots. With this method, you can prevent the formation of white marks by applying the right amount of sunscreen evenly.

1. Prefer a Sunscreen Containing Zinc Oxide: If you cannot find a sunscreen specially produced to avoid white marks, choose a sunscreen containing zinc oxide instead of titanium dioxide. Zinc oxide sunscreens are less likely to leave white marks than those containing titanium dioxide.
2. Wait for it to absorb: It may take a few minutes for mineral sunscreens to be completely absorbed into the skin. To avoid white marks, make sure you wait long enough after applying sunscreen before applying make-up or going out in the sun. In this way, you allow the sunscreen to be completely absorbed and reduce the white mark.
3. Prefer a Sunscreen that does not leave white marks: Look for a sunscreen that is specially made to not leave white marks on the skin. Baboon Natural's sunscreen is made with natural and organic ingredients and is specially designed to leave no white marks while providing broad spectrum protection.

Not Recommended Methods

Blending Sunscreen: Some people suggest mixing the sunscreen formula with foundation or make-up to avoid white marks. However, we do not recommend this. Sunscreen is formulated to provide a specific level of protection and mixing it with other products can affect its effectiveness. Also, mixing sunscreen with other products can change its texture and consistency, which can make it difficult to apply evenly.

Apply sunscreen to clean skin only as directed and avoid mixing with other products.
