It is water resistant and suitable for all skin types, intended for both face and body. It also contains hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid,…

How to Protect Yourself from the Sun?
Summer is coming! Honestly, I wish, it weren’t. I am not a summer person. It’s hot, you need to avoid the sun, and you just don’t feel like doing anything. Well, at least that’s me during hot days. Summer also means that I put extra attention to the way I protect myself from the sun.…

Avène CLEANANCE SOLAIRE SPF 50+ – Review
I get irritated when I think of this product; it is so terrible. I have given it a fair chance, even twice. It is a mattifying sunscreen, and usually, I would buy SPF 30, but it isn’t available, so I’ve opted for SPF 50+. Now I regret it. This sunscreen was formulated for acne-prone skin.…

Lancôme UV Expert Youth Shield Milky Bright SPF 50 PA++++ – Review
This sunscreen is my favourite, new, discovery of this year so far. It is very pleasing to use, and I’m sure many of you will appreciate it. It’s from the higher price shelf, one of the priciest sunscreens I have used in a while, but it feels luxurious on the skin. This product is quite…

Fotoprotector ISDIN Fusion Gel SPF 50+ –Review
Let me start off with saying that this sunscreen has nothing to do with a consistency of a gel, it’s as runny as water. Also, if you can’t tolerate alcohol in your skincare, you may skip this one entirely. ISDIN Fusion Gel (also known as Fusion Gel Sport) is designed for active people doing sports…

Mentholatum Sunplay Clear Water SPF 50+ PA++++ – Review
Mentholatum Sunplay sunscreens are one of the most popular sunscreens in Japan. They are affordable and provide high sun protection. The sunscreen that I am reviewing today is one of the Sunplay sunscreens reformulated last year. Japanese and Koreans sunscreens often go through changes. I find it quite clever, as a brand can adjust products…

HA: Hyaluronic Acid aka Heatwave Aid – Review of 3 Hyaluronic Acid Products
This year’s heatwave is already here; the Scandinavia and Greece are on fire and many people have died. This week the temperatures went beyond 30 here. The entire continent needs some Siberian breeze urgently. When it’s hot, I get sweaty and grumpy. There is no way I will be doing a full routine. Maybe in…

SVR Sebiaclear Cream/Crème SPF 50 – Review
I remember the first SVR’s sunscreen for acne-prone skin. It was a thick, white, zinc oxide based pomade that you could spread on your face, but good luck going out with it. You ended up with a geisha-like face that would melt after a few minutes of being in the sun. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?…

Self-tanners Review: Clarins Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster & Dove Visible Glow Gradual Self-Tan Fair to Medium
Springtime has arrived, and so have the first warm days. Many people did not miss on the opportunity to take advantage of it and equipped themselves in lobster-red skin, which gives me shivers. Spring and summer time is when the brands start to roll out new sunscreens, I have already seen many new ones available…
