I only use mineral for my kids and mostly for myself. I'm already pretty pale so the white cast isn't too bad for me. 😉 I do find that the chemical ones are a bit faster to apply, so if I'm in a big rush or I'm going out and want to look really nice, I'll use a chemical one. But I heard a dermatologist say, and I totally agree, "the right sunscreen for you is the one you'll wear".
