I really, really, really don’t like putting body lotion on. Almost all of my motivational vanity is reserved for my face, and so are almost all of my fun and exciting products.

Summer is technically over and winter is probably coming, but don’t put your sunscreen into storage just yet. If you want to prevent the photodamage that speeds up the visible aging process and you don’t live in extreme northern latitudes, sunscreen will be your biggest ally whether there’s sand between your toes or a foot of snow on the ground.…

*Or at least household name status Despite having never bought a single beauty box in my life (I’m picky and not the biggest fan of surprises), I’ve somehow developed a huge fondness for Memebox. I discovered some of my all-time favorite masks on Memebox (the Freeset Donkey Milk Aqua and Donkey Milk Healing and the practically legendary Banila…
