I have this current urge to try out other sunscreens from other brands. But, Im quite skeptical on trying new sunscreens especially with those brands not listed with "proven" or certified spf claim.....

The spf crackdown somehow traumatized me on trying out other sunscreens, because I would really like to only get sunscreens worth spending and risking my skin under the sun on trustworthy sunscreens 😎

Anyone who knows how to check if the spf claim is legit?

I've been seeing this trend lately and I felt it is just a fad.
As much as I want to be more Earth conscious, I think that it unhygienic to use over a long period of time and will end up replacing it as often as replacing makeup sponges. But, I am open to changes, so I would like to know your comments or experience?

Thoughts on reusable cotton pads?

Any superstar ingredient that you can recommend that helped you and your skincare concern?

Im looking for new products to try without the usual ingredients like HA, niacinamide and AHA/BHA. Thank you so much!

Recommendations?

Hi, guys Picky recently posted a blog about slugging (where you smear vaseline to your face; more infohttps://blog.gopicky.com/the-new-skincare-trend-slugging/). 

It's not recommended for oily skin peeps tho, have you guys tried this ritual? What are your thoughts about it?

Slugging?

Hiii!!

I recently saw this IG video of a guy saying that the rule of applying sunscreen and measuring it using our 3 fingers might be too much for our skin.

The right way to know the exact amount involves computing basically the area of our face. Which for me makes more sense??? because we all have different shapes and sizes of face, so some might need to cover less or more. 

What's your take on these guys?

Is the 3-finger rule of applying spf too much?

It did not dried out my skin but it also did not provide enough moisture for my skin. I always prefer products who can provide sebum control and moisture for a glowierr look and at the same time my skin doesn&#39;t have to produce more oil.

IT DOESN&#39;T HAVE A SCENT. The product promises to control oil&#47;sebum, but this one never dried my face. I love how my skin feels after using this product.

I don't like the texture it's just so thick and is hard to blend into my skin.IT LEAVES AN AWFUL AMOUNT OF WHITE CAST. I usually use tolerable sunscreens with whitecast, but this one just makes me ghostly white no matter how hard I try to blend it or tap it in. This is a no for me. 

This was a mineral sunscreen which I usually love. But, this one just don't go well into my skin huhuhu. I can't see any good from this except it did not irritated my skin.

This sunscreen is surprisingly good. It's very soothing to use on hot days and it is easily absorbed. It's probably the Cica in it, but I noticed it helps calm down my inflamed red face. It also has this silky finish which I truly like because it works like a primer for my bb cream

No bad experience for this one. A Holy Grail!!

I've expected a lot from this one because of the reviews I read online and I can really confirm this one is really amazing. The formulation sets the bar high for my future sunscreen haul. It doesn't leave a white cast, it is very light and doesn't feel like a cream at all, and Ieaves my skin dewy and looking healthy. The best part is, I've read that the spf claim is valid and confirmed😍 

It was after a few weeks of using it when I noticed that I can't use this in the morning when I used Retinol the night before, because my skin tends to get itchy.

This is a true to its name "airy" sunscreen. It has this milky texture which leaves a matte finish to my face. This is a good sunscreen especially when I wear double mask because it doesn't feel sticky at all and is refreshing. I have no problem with the slight scent on this one, tho sensitive skin people might want to take note of this one.
