DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturizer and Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 45 – A pleasant surprise | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER I had no idea DRMTLGY sunscreens were that popular until I received some in the mail – I hadn’t even heard of the brand at all, not even their infamous needle-less serum, which is apparently a bestseller. Their products are more on the pricey side, with the DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46 and their DRMTLGY Broad Spectrum SPF 45 being among the…

DECIEM NIOD Survival 30 – A mineral sunscreen I can recommend? | Doctors Review

THIS BLOGPOST USES AFFILIATE LINKS AND CONTAINS PR (GIFTED ITEMS). I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER.   I often get asked why I rarely review mineral sunscreens. The answer is simple: I usually absolutely hate them. But I do get that if you live in the US or have very reactive skin, they might be your only option, which is why today we will talk about the NIOD Survival 30, a tinted mineral sunscreen that I don’t hate.     I don’t love it…

Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel – better than Beauty of Joseon? | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER Yes, I did try the usurper before the original – to be honest, I had no idea that the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel SPF 50+ PA++++  was so popular until I reviewed Beauty of Joseons Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF 50+ and literally everyone wanted to know how the two compare.     To answer that, I filmed a quick…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   If you are the replacement after much drama, you can be sure you get a lot of attention. That is why I was excited to receive the Purito Daily Go-To Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ , replacing the Purito Centella Unscented one that caused such a scene at the end of 2020.

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF 50+ PA++++ – Can you trust the SPF rating? | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO:  PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER When I review a product, it is usually all about the texture, scent and feel it has. If I do review something like the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF 50+ though, the thing that you guys are most interested in is: Is the claimed SPF 50+ a real thing?     Well, I wanted to know that too, so…

Dr Sam Flawless Daily Sunscreen SPF 50 – Why I am not a fan | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO:  PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER    There are no rules in skincare. Guidelines and suggestions, yes, but almost no hard rules. Except this one: If you don’t apply enough product, you will not get the sun protection claimed on the bottle. (More info: How much sunscreen do you really need?)     And “enough product” is usually more than you would have thought. So it is handy that…

Do you really need a special sunscreen for the lips? | Ask Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS BLOG POST USES AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER. We talked at length about the best sunscreens for the face, we talked about sunscreen for your hair, is there still a topic we didn’t cover yet? Of course there is – sunscreen for the lips!     But why do your lips need extra sun protection? Are sunburned lips even a thing? And why do I think a dedicated lip product is recommended? All that and my favorite product is what…

Thank you Farmer Sun Project Light Sun Essence SPF 50+ | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS BLOG POST USES AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER. I often get asked about different sunscreens from different countries – why are many Korean ones, like the Thank You Farmer Sun Project Light Sun Essence SPF 50+ that I am going to review today, so different to European ones like the La Roche Posay line?     To understand that, we have to take a look at how sunscreen and sunscreen usage was (and in many cases still is) perceived. In…

Sunscreen for the hair – Why you need it and what you can use | Ask Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS BLOG POST USES AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER. Yes, I will talk about some products and the ingredients that protect your hair from the sun and its UV-rays in this blogpost, but it will not be my main focus – you will understand why and what else there is you can do in a bit.     But before we get into the details of sun protection for hair, let’s talk a little bit about why it is actually important…

Ultraviolette Supreme Screen Hydrating Facial Skinscreen – SPF from Australia | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS BLOG POST USES AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER. The Ultraviolette Supreme Screen Hydrating Facial Skinscreen I wanted to show you today comes all the way from Australia. Well, this particular one doesn’t, I had it shipped over from the UK, where Ultraviolette is available, but the brand is Australian. Why? For two reasons. One, Michelle from LabMuffinBeautyScience recommended it and she is my favorite source of sunscreen knowledge. And two: If there is one country that really has to put…
