BRUSH ON BLOCK MINERAL POWDER SUNSCREEN  TOUCH OF TAN - PRODUCT REVIEW

Brush on Block- touch of tan was introduced to the market recently after the success of normal Brush on block sunscreen. It is the same great concept just with a hint of tan!



I love this product as it makes it easy to reapply your sunscreen every couple of hours. Those of you that wear makeup know that it is not easy to reapply your sunscreen when you have makeup on without having to take off your makeup completely! Sunscreens can be quite greasy and sticky and no one wants that on top of the makeup.

This product is quite similar to the normal brush on block as the powder is still invisible (picture below) however there is a bit of glow to it. My skin is quite fair but I think it can be used on fair to dark skin as it’s virtually transparent. 

Brush on Block is a non-irritating, sweat and water-resistant sunscreen that comes in a self-dispensing brush. I have an extremely sensitive and acne-prone skin so normal sunscreens regardless of the type (cream, gel, gel-cream) can clog my pores and bring me out in spots but this mineral brush on sunscreen sits on top of the skin instead of absorbing into the skin which is a huge advantage as it won’t clog the pores.

What I absolutely love about this sunscreen is how small and convenient the container is so it can easily fit in my handbag or even my pocket. So it’s an effective way to protect the skin from the sun, every day and everywhere!

And a really handy tip from me, if you wear make up after a long day and your face gets all oily and shiny or if you sweat a lot this can be a good way to get rid of that shine as it gives a matt finish to the skin!


I find it really easy to use as well, just twist open to click and tap it onto the back of your hand to get the powder 'flowing' and then brush gently over face, neck and décolleté. Easy-peasy!

Overall, I think this product is perfect for everyone!
