Should I skip mineral sunscreen if I have darker skin?

Yes, because mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide leave a noticeable white cast on darker skin tones. Instead, use a chemical sunscreen with avobenzone or octocrylene — they’re invisible. Asian and European brands like La Roche-Posay, Beauty of Joseon, or Supergoop are especially sheer. If you insist on mineral, try micronized or tinted versions, but chemical is the easier fix.
