My skin gets very dry under make up, so I recently purchased a skin smoothing facial oil that’s meant to be used as a primer before applying make up. However, I don’t know how to incorporate this with my sunscreen. Normally I would apply primer after sunscreen dries down, then proceed with make up. Would applying this oil after sunscreen cause the sunscreen to melt off and be ineffective? Should I apply it before the sunscreen? Any tips are appreciated!

Using face oil with sunscreen - any tips?

I can’t seem to comment on a discussion without the app quitting. Just started since the update. Anybody else having this problem?

New App Keeps Quitting

Nothing! Wish it came in a bigger bottle 😂

I’m happy to report, I have found a new sunscreen superstar: the Logically, Skin Professional Sunblock! My experience so far (used daily for over a week, reapplied multiple times during the day): 

💛 SPF 50+, PA++++
💛 UVA&#47;UVB Protection (physical) from Zinc Oxide &amp; Titanium Dioxide, plus several sunscreen “boosters”
💛 Goes on smoothly, blends in with no white cast (it does have a slightly pearly pinkish hue that complements my skin tone well)
💛 Dries down to a semi-matte finish (definitely NOT dewy but not drying either)
💛 Stays on ALL DAY, &amp; best of all: it does not care about my sweat! In fact, I sweat right through it! It does not come off, roll into my eyes, sting, irritate, or otherwise make me curse the gods. I can reapply as often as I need to without any stickiness or oiliness. 
💛 Definite repurchase for me - &amp; at around $10 for 70ml, I won’t even think twice about it!

Cons: The smell is strongly herbal (almost medicinal; some smell lavender but i smell tamarind and herbs), but dissipates quickly. This also contains alcohol, but a TINY amount. I definitely do not feel or see any effects of alcohol on my skin.

It’s rare that I love a product right off the bat (I’m a born skeptic) but I was really surprised by this. I’ve been using it for over 2 weeks now and can definitely feel the immediate hydrating results, and I’m going to keep going to get the long-term antioxidant benefits!

Star Ingredients: Black Rice and Bamboo Shoot extracts, plus Hyaluronic Acid, Beta Glucan, Betaine, and Glycerin for hydration, Ginseng and Aspergillus Ferment for conditioning, and a host of other plant extracts!
Texture: Liquid, slightly viscous, absorbs quickly with slight cooling effect 
Claims: Hydrating (yep!) Conditioning (yep!) Antioxidants from fermentation (will keep using to see!)
- also: Vegan, cruelty-free, at least 95% natural ingredients (all products from this company are! 💜)
How I use it: AM and PM as my hydrating toner step (7-skin method). I take a few drops and pat into my face&#47;neck, repeating up to 7 times. My skin feels softer and softer after each layer, and my moisturizer afterward soaks in like a dream! 
- I also used it as a patch mask on my cheeks when they were feeling sensitive AND as a DIY sheet mask for the ultimate luxurious start to my day (wouldn’t do this every day as it uses too much toner but I had the softest and smoothest skin that day!)
Benefits: Smoothing, softening, plumping - seriously, could NOT STOP TOUCHING MY FACE! I also noticed my moisturizers sunk in better. Also, I love that this does NOT contain niacinamide - I’m sensitive to it and many of my serums and creams contain it, so I don’t like to overdo it by having it in my toner as well!

Cons: None for me, but this formula does contain a tiny amount of eucalyptus extract (not oil) which can be irritating to some. Also, the scent is strong, almost heady - my dog pesters me relentlessly each time I wear this, thinking I’m eating something sweet (technically I am, as I have *maybe* given this a taste a few times 😅 it’s that irresistible!). Oily skin types may find it too heavy.

This delicious-looking mask gets its superpowers from, you guessed it: honey! A whopping 38% of the formula is pure natural honey from Jiri Mt. in Korea, plus macadamia &amp; sunflower oils, Vitamin E, shea butter, beta-glucan, aloe, &amp; snail secretion filtrate. 
🍯Claims: soothing, acne-clearing, exfoliating, moisturizing
🍯My experience: soothing &amp; moisturizing, definitely! Any exfoliation probably comes from massaging&#47;washing it off, as I don’t spot any chemical exfoliants. Applies smoothly &amp; stays moist, even after an hour. To me, this mask smells absolutely mouthwatering - like a sweet honey dessert (think baklava!), but that might be off-putting for some. After washing it off, my skin feels extra-smooth, soft, moisturized, &amp; silky. There’s no stickiness, &amp; the sweet honey smell lingers for a bit.

Somewhat drying for my cheeks. I think it is better for oily skin.

💦 If you’ve tried the Klairs Gentle Black line, you know it’s all about balance - gentle but not TOO gentle, no unnecessary ingredients, fragrances, or frills. 
⭐️How I used it: started out AM &amp; PM, settled on PM only. Now that I’ve switched to summer creams&#47;masks, I need less cleanser power in the AM. This was great for deep cleansing at night, but was a bit too drying for my cheeks during the day. I’ll stick to my Cerave for AM during the summer, use this as PM second cleanse. One way I made it gentler was by using a foaming net, then applying only the foam to my face, not the straight cleanser. 
⭐️My results&#47;rating&#47;repurchase? 💙3.5&#47;5, would probably not repurchase (if it ever runs out - the tube is HUGE!) as there are others out there better suited to my skin.

Nothing that I can tell! But its hard to find this brand in the USA. I dont know how to repurchase other than on Amazon and this toner is $40. Still worth it because the bottle is 4-5 times the size of other toners.

💕 This was my first “milky” toner, &amp; while I was worried it would be greasy, I couldn’t have been more wrong. I have LOVED using this every day &amp; am glad the bottle is so big (500ml!) because I layer it &amp; want it to last forever!
💕 Hydrating, soothing, nourishing, &amp; barrier-protecting
💕 Packed with powerhouse ingredients like Rhodiola, Mugwort, Centella Asiatica, Propolis, &amp; Hyaluronic Acid
💕 Flip-top cap &amp; small spout dispenses the right amount every time! (Such a small thing, but so wonderful!)
💕 Skin feels soft, fresh, calm, &amp; plump after patting in each layer
💕 My serums&#47;ampoules absorb better after using this
💕 When I use&#47;layer it in the morning, I can usually skip moisturizer &amp; go straight to sunscreen!
