Top Sunscreens 2024, Part 1: Japanese Sunscreens

Michelle Wong — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 12:35:26 +0000

I’m finally updating my top sunscreen recommendations! My last list was in 2022, but honestly, I don’t feel like the sunscreens I’m adding this time are a huge step over those. But I do like giving people more options – in case you can’t get certain brands where you live, or you’re allergic to a particular ingredient, or they get ...

La Roche-Posay UVMune 400: Science and Review

Michelle Wong — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 14:31:37 +0000

The La Roche-Posay UVMune 400 range has been super hyped up because it contains a brand new sunscreen ingredient: Methoxypropylamino Cyclohexenylidene Ethoxyethylcyanoacetate (MCE), or Mexoryl 400. It’s currently exclusive to L’Oreal, and was developed in conjunction with BASF. I’ve mentioned in passing that I don’t think it’s as much of a game changing “must have” for everyone that some people have ...

How to find transfer-proof eyeliner pencils

Michelle Wong — Sun, 07 Jan 2024 11:45:58 +0000

Something that made a big difference to me in 2023: I worked out how to find eyeliner pencils that were transfer-proof even on my oily skin! My eyelids are super oily, so eyeliners always smudge or start transferring after a few hours. Transfer-proof pencils aren’t really that new an innovation, but for the longest time I didn’t really know what ...

I recently tried Blue Lizard and Australian Gold, two US sunscreens with mineral (inorganic) active ingredients. Both of these have been popular on skincare forums and Reddit for years, but aren’t actually available in Australia (despite being marketed as “Australian sunscreen”). I’ve been really curious to try them out, so I picked them up as souvenirs when I was in ...

Michelle Wong — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 10:24:13 +0000

Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen is a popular US sunscreen, but it’s a bit pricey at $38 USD for 50 mL. A few dupes have come out lately, including Trader Joe’s Daily Facial Sunscreen, which is only $9 for the same sized tube! I recently went to the US and picked them both up to try – here’s a comparison review. There’s ...
