Try the leroache posay sunscreen. NOT the mineral kind tho because that will leave a white cast. I will say tho I’m a bit more light skinned so take it with a grain of salt. Just works for me

Innisfree is my favorite! I’m dark-dark skinned and the blue cast is nonexistent (although it will scare you if you put too much on in the beginning. Just keep rubbing it in!!)

idk of youre talking about body or face sunscreen, but for your face, try the byoma face spf moisturizer. it has never caused me to break out and although my skin is light, the lotion itself is clear so no white cast!

I’m white so idk if it’ll work for u but I use blue lizard and it’s never left any residue and it’s like hypoallergenic and shit so it shouldn’t break u out. A bit pricier tho

It’s all garbage besides stuff like zinc. Clay or mud work but there’s residue, fatty topicals will just look like lotion.

Darker skin is more protected than pale skin, but not so protected that it doesn't need sunscreen. Plus, the depletion of the ozone layer has caused significant changes.
