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!

This is exactly what my winter-parched skin has been begging for. Holiday stress combined with crazy weather (wet, windy, & cold) had my poor cheeks & nostrils chapped & unhappy, but I’ve been loving the comforting ceramide goodness of this set! There have been many nights where I skip all other serums, ampoules, & treatments & just use this toner & cream after double-cleansing, & then off to bed!

🌷 Cream-Infused Double Essence Toner: Packed with Madecassoside, Ceramide, Milk Protein, Panthenol, Beta Glucan, Ginger Root, Cica, Moringa Seed Oil, this is one of the best “creamy” toners I’ve used. It’s not greasy, softens & smooths skin, & feels so pampering. LOVE it!

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!

It could be too much for oily skin types. Also, hard to find in the US.

💕 Wowwww, what a cream! It’s got this amazing texture - thick &amp; rich, but also…stretchy? It reminds me of something with snail mucin, but it doesn’t contain any snail! 
💕 Thick but not heavy; sinks in well but forms an occlusive barrier - perfect for nighttime
💕 Soothing &amp; beneficial ingredients like Rhodiola, Madecassoside, Asparagus Root, &amp; Hyaluronic Acid
💕 Skin feels deeply moisturized, enriched, soothed, &amp; bouncy after rubbing in
💕 This cream is a bit heavy for summer daytime use, but I plan to try it as a day cream when the weather gets cold (if it lasts that long, haha). I love smoothing it on as my last step each evening &amp; I haven’t had to slug or apply an extra night cream or sleeping mask since I’ve been using this, which is a big deal for me!
