It’s time for some sunscreen recs! These are the sunscreens I’ve used long enough to give an opinion (I’m trying more that you’ll hear about later).

They are thinnest to thickest from left to right. Swipe to see some textures!

@paulaschoice Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50 ($33.00) - this is a chemical sunscreen with a thin texture. It’s easy to apply and reapply, even over makeup.

@eltamdskincare UV Clear SPF 46 ($37.00; PR) - a thin sunscreen that’s a chemical/mineral blend. EltaMD recommends this for people who have acne, hyperpigmentation, or rosacea. It wears well under makeup.

@everydayhumans Resting Beach Face SPF 30 ($24.00; PR)) - the name alone made me want this! It’s a lightweight chemical SPF that also includes hyaluronic acid and green tea!

@eltamdskincare UV Daily SPF 40 ($30.50) - this sunscreen is thicker, and it has a mineral/chemical blend. My dry skin loves it. There’s also a tinted version.

@lovekinship Self Reflect SPF 32 ($25.00) - this is a thick mineral sunscreen that has almost has a blurring effect on my skin. I’m on my 3rd tube of it.

Note: mineral sunscreens can leave a white cast on darker skin tones.

There are so many wonderful sunscreens on the market. The best one for you is the one that you will use and reapply!

☀️Lip products with Sun Protection☀️

Skin cancer can occur on the lips! I haven’t been consistent with wearing SPF on my lips, but I’m working to be better. Here are some of the products I’m using! Swipe to see the texture/consistency.

@neutrogena lip smoother w/ SPF 20 - a subtle gloss that comes in multiple shades.

@aquaphorus lip protectant w/ SPF 30 - this has the same consistency as the regular Aquaphor product with the added benefit of SPF!

@neutrogena revitalizing lip balm w/ SPF 20 - saw this on @janellyskin stories and wanted to try myself. It’s a nice balm that gives a hint of color to the lips.

@eltamdskincare UV lip balm w/ SPF 36 - this has a creamy white texture that dries down clear.

@freshbeauty tinted lip treatment with SPF 15 - this is a nourishing balm that comes in multiple shades.

Do you use an SPF on your lips?

March empties, including 3 moisturizers! They’re all perfect for daytime use. I usually have 2-3 moisturizers open at a time depending on what my skin feels like and needs.

Anyways, let’s get into what I finished in March:

@indie_lee Toner ($34) - I’ve repurchased this so many times that I lost count. Let me know if you want me to tag you in my full review!

@alliesofskin Masque (not for sale) - this was a GWP over the holidays with AoS. I really enjoyed the mask, and I would love for them to bring this product back.

@farmacybeauty Honeydrop Moisturizer ($45) - this is a lightweight moisturizer that has a faint honey scent. I love using it during the day, especially in the summer. My only complaint is the jar: I think the shape is cute, but not practical because it’s hard to access the product after you’ve used a certain amount. Would I repurchase? Maybe.

@lovekinship Self Reflect SPF ($25) - this is one of my favorite SPFs, and the 2nd bottle that I’ve finished. It’s got a creamy texture that makes my skin look more even-toned. It leaves no white cast on me (note: mineral SPFs can leave white cast on darker skin tones). I already have a backup!

@larocheposayusa Toleriane Moisturizer ($29.99) - I knew I was going to like this after using it just once. It’s moisturizing and gentle, but its not crazy thick. I already opened a new one, and I will continue to purchase!

@lovekinship Supermello Moisturizer ($24) - another great lightweight moisturizer! It has the signature vanilla scent that Kinship uses; it’s very subtle. I have a backup already.

@alliesofskin Firming Daily Treatment Moisturizer ($109) - this one is definitely a splurge. But it’s worth it, IMO. I’ve purchased 3 bottles! This moisturizer is packed with great ingredients, including peptides. I just opened my next bottle.

And there you have it! What products did you finish in March? Let me know ☺️

Have you seen the recent Vogue article/video with

Have you seen the recent Vogue article/video with Gwyneth Paltrow? It’s…frustrating. She discusses the importance of “clean” “and non-toxic” beauty. She also mentions harsh chemicals in sunscreens. GP even demos applying sunscreen…like a highlighter. WTF. It’s incredibly irresponsible to perpetuate falsehoods like these.

I’ve already posted about how clean/non-toxic/chemical-free skincare is just marketing BS. Now I’m going to focus on sunscreen. If you want to prevent skin cancer, you need to wear an adequate amount of sunscreen. Period.

There are many sunscreens out there. They fall into 2 categories: physical (mineral) and chemical. Doctors typically recommend using physical sunscreens if you’re pregnant/breastfeeding (talk to your doc about specifics). Otherwise, both types are effective at sun protection. Which one you use depends on your personal preference.

Now the fun part! Tell me your favorite sunscreen. I’ll post mine this week.

Let’s talk about retinoids! “Retinoid” is the umbrella term for anything related to Vitamin A/retinoic acid. Research shows that retinoids help reduce the appearance of fine lines/wrinkles, boost collagen production, and can improve acne. There are different types (called derivatives); some are stronger than others.

Here are the retinoids that I love!

Tretenoin (prescription) - this is the current retinoid that I’m using. I got my prescription from my dermatologist. Tret is STRONG. I used OTC retinoids before finally trying this. I use a pea-size mount 3-4 times a week. Fortunately, I haven’t had many side effects - just some like flaking when I started using it. Talk to your dermatologist to see if it would be a good fit for you!

@aveneusa RetrinAL ($70) - this is the first retinoid I ever used (also recommended by my Derm)! I highly recommend it when you’re starting your retinoid journey. It contains retinaldehyde, which is the strongest OTC derivative of Vitamin A. This particular formula comes in 2 strengths: .05 and .1. Start with the .05 product first.

@alliesofskin 1A Overnight Mask ($109) - this is another wonderful OTC option! It also contains retinaldehyde, as well as peptides and other antioxidants. IMO this is stronger than the Avène one.

@aveneusa Retrinal Eyes ($49) - My eye area is one of my biggest concerns, so this eye cream is perfect. It contains retinaldehyde (do you see a trend ☺️?) and feels very gentle. I use it almost every single night!

My skin has definitely improved since using retinoids (I’ve been using them for 2+ years). It has less texture, I get less pimples, and my fine lines have softened.

Have you tried a retinoid yet? If so, which one do you use?
