Skincare, beauty, and occasional mental health, productivity, and hamster butts
If you want to prevent wrinkles for as long as you can, you can’t go without sunscreen. UV radiation is the leading contributor to visible photoaging, and over time, your daily walks to the mailbox will age your skin faster than your once-a-year weeks on the beach.
The last time I reviewed a Missha sunscreen, it didn't go well for either me or the sunscreen. Luckily, I had managed to block those bad memories out for long enough that when I was panic-shopping Amazon for a last-minute sunscreen replenishment a few months ago, I was willing to give the readily available Missha [...]
Skincare products come and go, but these regularly repurchased holy grails are here to stay.
It's the middle of winter in the northern hemisphere, but that doesn't mean the quest for a good sunscreen can stop. If you're trying to minimize visible skin aging, fight hyperpigmentation, and/or prevent skin cancer, then the sunscreen quest never stops.

Summer is coming, not that it isn't already sunny enough where I live, and I'm currently testing over a dozen different sunscreens. (Not kidding.) You could say sun damage has been on my mind. But no matter how much I like any of the sunscreens I'm trying, none of them solve one of the most basic [...]
Today I unboxed and arm swatched eleven different sunscreens. Summer is coming to my part of the world, and my part of the world gets serious sun. That means it's time to get even more serious about sunscreen than before. I've been getting tired of my usual sunscreens, so I thought I lucked out when Sulwhasoo US included [...]
It's a new year, but I still got the same old face, and that face still needs to have things put on it and cleansed off of it on a regular basis, so I've got another batch of empties to show off! There are some classics in here, some new (to me) items, and one [...]
My skincare closet is overflowing with bottles and jars, and not all of them have stuff in them anymore. It's time for a purge!
