How bad is the white cast when you apply the recommended 1/4 tsp?

I am pretty white already so it vanishes into my skin, others may notice it more.

Just used this last weekend. I did have to rub rub rub it in. BUT I didn't get burnt and it didn't sting my eyes like other face sunscreen.

I'm not sure. If it's nice/Waterford crystal I would try vinegar and baking soda first. You can always read the warnings on the back

IT DOES TURN YOUR FACE WHITE. The people who are saying it doesn't are clearly not applying enough sunscreen. You need at least 1/4 TSP to cover your entire face. It's not white if you don't apply enough, and if you don't apply enough then the SPF turns into the square root of what it originally is. So SPF 25 becomes SPF 5 if you don't apply enough.

Mix 1/4 tsp to 3.5 tsp in water. It dissolves and can be used in a sprayer. It works great!

Don't think this is good idea because even mixing a small amount (1/2oz) could produce heat reaction..You should always use the correct harder with the correct resin.. They are all different..

Agree with nettsie1015. Just apply as per instructions. I've not had one fail - they're terrific!

Howard Wexler: The White Balance options may help too. It might be slightly subtle and hard to control, but will be very powerful for your realistic presentation when you get it in hand.

Wow this way too much. For a single use I use 1/2-3/4 tsp crystals with no more 2 Tbls cleanser in a small dish. Mix well into a thick grainy consistency. It goes a long way so very little is needed. Just make sure the crystals are well blended as you don't want the crystal powder getting anywhere on your face. Good luck.

If you apply too much, yes, it will turn white and can flake as well. You must only use a very small amount and apply it thinly over the desired area.

Yes, my is 4G29 Exp07/16. After reading the conflicting answers here, I decided to shake it really hard and now I see some white cream! I used in my trip and was wondering why it is full of liquid and I got sunburned, and now know why. I am thinking it is bad batch, so will inquire, so you should do the same. My is from Mom LA Store, and reading recent reviews it appears other people had same problem and it appears they are out the business (at least on the Amazon.com)

Yes but use a small tip to minimize overspray. Hvlp would be a better choice though.

I disagree about the white cast. If you use the amount that you should for a physical sunblock then it does leave a bit of a white cast. I suspect that a lot of it has to do with the color of your skin though. I found that this did transfer onto my clothing when I used it on my body (did not dry/absorb even after a significant amount of time), and I actually don't think that it would work that well under make-up. It's also fairly thick. Elta MD has some good options to use under makeup. We have a Babo Botanicals stick, and it actually IS clear although we find it to be a bit too sticky.

Start with the fine so you can get a feel for the machine & not hurt yourself. My feet were pretty bad & it worked well b-cuz the machine is so powerful. You'll know within seconds if you need to use the coarse instead. I burned myself a few times during the process. I'd definitely recommend starting with the fine until you get a feel for the machine.

In all my experience one hour and I stay creamy blonde no brassy not white of course if you're worried I would do 1/2 hour so there is no chance. That's how it works for me, I hope it's the same for you! Hearts

Yes, on the white cast. Felt more dry than greasy. Almost too dry for my taste. Not my favorite.

The colloidal silver that I make with this kit comes out somewhat white colored- or clear with a hazy white cast to it. It is a fantastic kit and I make CS weekly with it!!

Depends on what you're using it for. Usually you would use 1 tsp if you put it in coffee or tea. There are lots of recipes you can use it in that call for more.
