If you’ve ever used sunscreen for kids, you’ll know that it goes on chalky and white because of the great deal of mineral suncreen ingredients in it. These are known as physical sunscreens, and they’re used instead of chemical sunscreens because they’re less likely to break down in the sun thus providing better sun protection. […]

A Great Sunscreen That’s Now SPF 50!
Last year, I wrote about Coppertone’s Clearly Sheer sunscreen, which goes on completely clear, and even has a matte feel to it, making sure that your skin isn’t greasy after you apply it. This year, Clearly Sheer sunscreen is available in SPF 50, in face, body, and spray formulations. Truly, the face and body formulas […]

Have you ever had that […]
My All-Time Favourite Daytime Moisturizer

My favourite one is Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost gel cream with SPF 15. This […]
Avene Sunscreen
I’m getting to the point where I hate using sunscreen in the winter. My skin is dry right now and all I want is a dose of good moisturizer, but layering serum, moisturizer, sunscreen, and possibly foundation is getting to be a bit much for my skin. It’s product overload for sure, and I don’t […]
