    Default Tinted moisturizer or BB cream without SPF? Recommendations please!

    I tend to get better product reviews and recommendations on this site than anywhere else, so here I go again:

    I am looking for a tinted moisturizer, lightweight sheer foundation, or BB cream that doesn't contain sunscreen. Anyone know of a good one?

    And yes, I know I should use sunscreen, but I tend to get weird little rashes every time I try a product with sunscreen in it (not sure which particular ingredient I'm allergic to), and I look better with a tan anyway.

    I'm white, pushing 30, with dryish, somewhat sensitive skin. I have a fair complexion that tans easily and hardly ever burns, green eyes, and brown hair that I bleach.

    Let the magic of the Internet begin.

    there is a Canadian brand called Marcelle. they make a product they call a BB Cream (but it's actually a foundation/tinted moisturizer) that has no SPF. it's a very natural coverage on me and comes in three shades. it is also fragrance free, hypoallergenic and a bunch of other things that make it very gentle (i have sensitive skin).

    have you been using American or Asian brands of BB cream? there are very few BB creams in the USA that are any good. it is a major trend in Korea/all over Asia right now and USA companies are just trying to cash in on the hype but have no idea what actually makes a good BB cream. The Asian ones have true skincare benefits and are just better products in general (seriously, Korean skincare is 20 years ahead of anything in the USA).
    Dr. Jart+ is a fantastic Korean brand available at Sephora - their Water Fuse BB Cream is really amazing for dry skin! it's also fragrance-free (fragrance really bugs out my skin). It does contain sunscreen but might be worthwhile to try for you - if there is a Sephora near you just go and ask for a sample. it only comes in one (pale) shade but that should be fine for you.
    also, check the ingredients of products you react too! there are a few different mineral products being used currently for sunscreen. i know lots of people are sensitive to titanium dioxide - it's also used as a binder in lots of mineral makeup products (eyeshadow, powder, etc) so if you can determine which particular compound(s) you are allergic to you can avoid them in the future.
    sorry if this is a lot of unnecessary information - my skin is crazy sensitive & dry so i'm a total skincare buff!
