Due to the new information that the purito chemical sunscreen has been tested and found to be at SPF 19 (@incidecodercom on Instagram) 

I need a new sunscreen! I live almost at the equator I also happen to have a tan skin tone so an affordable chemical sunscreen would be the best

Other sunscreens from the same manufacturing/factories are under suspicion too just in case 👀 ...  I don’t want to undo all my hard work lol

If you have options that are not chemical put them down as well so somebody else can benefit!

Sunscreen!!

I used to be very good at maintaining my skincare routines both AM & PM as well as staying on track with my weekly treatment days (BHA etc).

The past few months were a struggle & I have stopped taking care of my skin. Eventually my eczema which I haven’t had since I was 9 (I’m 21 in 2 months) started again. I’ve also been struggling with basic hygiene like brushing my teeth twice a day because of depression. 

On the brighter side is that I have started brushing my teeth again 1-2 times a day & showering almost every other day. (Gross, i know)

However, doing my skincare daily always feels impossible. Has anyone been through a similar thing and broken out of this cycle? Any tips?

Self Care Struggles

I’ve had smile lines for some years now despite being 20 and I want them gone. I’ve bought the press restart retinol from versed & I’m waiting for it to arrive but I don’t know if that’s enough. Are there any other products that could help? Have I taken too long to address this issue?

Smile lines :(:

I recently developed eczema on my top lip & a spot on my thigh. I can treat my thigh with normal creams but my lip is a bit of struggle. I’ve been using glossier’s unscented balm dotcom & it was decent but it’s finishing now & I’d like a better recommendation of what to use/do

Eczema on lips

My brother has a very dry patch on his hands at almost the same location on both hands. I think it might be eczema as I had eczema on my top lip and my mother has eczema on her legs and hands. What are some product suggestions that would help him? Should he be using a specific hand wash? I know fragrance should be avoided but what else should be avoided? Can it be anything else other than eczema? Thank you!

Dry patch on hand

The formula seperates in the tube and because of that sometimes all you get is a very oily lip balm that isn’t very good at hydrating the lips but just sits on top.

This is not an issue if you keep it in a fridge or just live in a cold area but its just inconvenient 

The smell is too strong and smells like medicine it gives me headaches sometimes with how strong it is if youre sensitive to smells id reccomend against buying this

These are *my* bad experiences everyone is different :)

Beautiful red shade i use this on my cheeks and lips for a light lazy makeup day im a medium skin tone and it isnt overwhelmingly red on me its also quite moisturising to the lips

I didnt enjoy the texture it was quite sticky. It smells a little unpleasant in my experience.

I have been using this product mainly for my uneven skintone and it has worked! It reduced my hyperpigmentation overtime and other people have noticed the improvement so it definitely worked. It also brightened up my skin i feel like its significantly less dull.

It smells a little funky and because of how dry my skin is i need to apply a few layers.

Very calming i use this whenever i go too hard with the exfoliants on my skin it helps with my redness and irritation.

I would reccomend using this at a maximum of twice a week with a light layer &amp; your skin should most definitely NOT burn a tingle is ok but NO burning. I have overused this a few times as the instructions are not very clear on the package on how much product to use.

I use this on my nose for my blackheads and it has helped with that significantly i also use this on my face when i have bad skin it helps with removing all my pimples and maskne.

Very nourishing and has a very silky smooth texture that just glides over your skin it feels amazing and it really is the best for when i want an extra glow in addition to this it is great for both AM &amp; PM routines. I use this everytime i do my skincare!
