Do I need SPF in the winter? I’m wondering because since it’s cold out I’m only outside for very short periods of time (the walk to my car and the walk inside to wherever I’m going. Then back to my car and then back home) which is probably 30 second-2 minute intervals. And I’m also in my car for the drive, of course. Which is usually very short or after the sun has set, since it gets dark so early now. The only reason I’m even considering not wearing it is due to the short amount of time outside, and the most important part is with a toddler, any steps I can take out of getting ready to leave the house, makes a huge difference😂
Do you wear a sunscreen in the winter?
If so please let me know what kind you use

Sunscreen in the winter?

I can’t figure out what time to wear sunscreen until. I don’t want to apply it when unnecessary especially if it will be my first application of the day. The sunset is at 8:15. I included a photo of the sky at 8pm. I live in the middle of the the east coast in USA.

It’s the 6:30-7pm-7:30-8pm time that I have a question about. I can’t find any specific answers. Please help if you can. Thank you

What time to wear sunscreen until?

If you had to pick, what is your number one favorite skin care product of all time ?!
If you had to pick just ONE!!
(You can still put multiple if you want😂)

Favorite skin care product of all time?!

Please let me know your favorite eye creams !!! Ive found all my favorite products in every other category. But I’ve only tried a few eye creams. I hear a lot of product recommendations but I really never see anything for eye creams. 
I’m looking for something for brightening and under eye bags. 
My favorite ever eye cream that was the only one to give a noticeable different was Kiehls Vit C eye cream, but it gave much such hugeee breakouts on my under eyes, I had to stop using. 
What’s your favorite eye cream ?!

FAVORITE EYE CREAM ? PLS HELP

I just got a C E Ferulic acid serum, I’m not storing it in my bathroom because it gets way too hot in there from the steam from the showers. And I’m not putting in my fridge because sometimes my fridge gets too cold and things like milk will almost freeze get some ice in it, and I’m not going to have my serum freezing and unfreezing all the time because I’m sure that’s not good for it. I know it says to store in a cool, dry place, but I put it in a bin in my hallway, so it will be in a dark, dry, room temperature place- do you think that’s OK??
(Excuse any errors I used talk to text)

Is it OK to keep my vitamin C in a bin in my hallway?

I was expecting it to be a soothing, calming & *hydrating* toner but it was actually a soothing, calming & *exfoliating* toner. Most toners do have an exfoliating element, but since its a soothing product I was expecting only soothing elements. But I like it regardless

Experience:
I’ve been using this toner for a few weeks. It’s a very watery texture, as you would expect with a toner. But also has that very slight acidic texture that lets you know it’s also an exfoliating toner. I loved how my skin drank the product right it, it absorbed fast & soaked it in nicely. There is no sticky or oily feeling. I’ve been having redness on my skin and I didn’t know what it was or why it was there, this was the first of many products used that finally really helped the redness. It’s calming some blemishes as well. By the way, this toner is huge!! 7 ounces!! I love that you get so much product!! I’ve really been wanting to try a phyto & a cica related product so I was so happy to get this phyto cica toner!

Nothing! This is a must have! Softest, velvet-like skin 😍 just a little pricey for my routine budget. Hope I can find a good deal when I need it!!!

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule • I received this product for free from Picky and SKIN1004 in exchange for my honest review. • 
 
I’ve tried a LOT of skin care. And this video features my top 3 for velvet skin!!! (Plus some extras like masks for extra velvet softness)

Since I received this it has become one of my all time favorite serums!!! 

[  [  My Experience  ]  ]  — It feels like it forms a hydrating and moisturizing, protective layer over your skin. Most serums seem to soak in then be gone. But you can feel the softness and smoothness on your face from this serum. And for anything you apply after, it feels really nice with how soft your skin feels from this serum. I have sensitive skin with redness, so this serum has been great for me and my skin barrier. I definitely recommend it!! I love this line of products. 

[ Brand ] Skin 1004
[ Texture ] A white, milky ampoule, thicker than the average serum 
[ Scent ] None
[ Benefits ] Soothing, skin barrier protecting, hydrating, moisturizing, softening, helps irritation and redness, and more

[ Description ] This ampoule contains a powerful combination of probiotics, ceramides and cica (Centella asiatica extract). These are three powerful ingredients that work amazingly together to soothe, hydrate, soften, protect and repair damaged skin.

I always enjoy extensively looking up a product and it’s ingredients. One thing I look at is an ingredient decoder website, which breaks down and gives intensive information of each ingredient in a product. And the site described this ampoule as “forming a layer that makes the skin moist” and I couldn’t agree more! This is the perfect description of it! Before I had seen that I had described it as feeling like it forms a hydrating and moisturizing, protective layer over your skin

Star Ingredients 
Centella asiatica extract (cica), glycerin, 
niacinamide, centella extract fermentation filtrate 

All Ingredients 
Centella asiatica extract, butylene glycol, glycerin, purified water, propanediol, caprylic/capric triglyceride, niacinamide, lactobacillus/centella extract fermentation filtrate, 1.2-hexanediol, dipropylene glycol, polyglyceryl, etc 

Nothing !! My holy grail !!! I am definitely going to buy this once I run out. A lot of these products I would buy again if they were in my budget but this one I definitely actually will buy!

🍚The Skin House: Rice Active Essence Cleansing Water 🍚
I received this product for free from Picky and The Skin House in exchange for my honest review.

[ My Experience ]
At first I was upset with how much I loved this, because I saw it was $20 and that’s out of my budget for a cleansing water. But then I saw it’s $13 on stylevana!!!! Stylevana always has the best deals! But this isn’t about stylevana 😂 it’s about picky and the skin house !! I was upset thinking once this ran out I wouldn’t be able to purchase again, but I’m soooo happy to have found it for a more affordable price!!! I’ve been using Garnier Micellar water every night, when this ran out I wanted to try something else. I was going to try Bioderma, but I’m obsessed with this!!!! I’m so happy to have found a cleansing water that I love. I have sensitive, acne prone skin, which is why I was looking for something else, and this rice water is perfect. I’m really obsessed with rice in skincare, so this couldn’t be more perfect. Also, I cannot believe how much dirt and oil this gets off. I wash my face every day, and still by the next day, the cotton pad is dark from how much it’s gotten off my face! I can see it’s getting more more than the Garnier Micellar water was. This rice cleansing water is good for makeup and sunscreen too! You can feel it hydrating your skin instead of stripping it like some of these products can. And my skin has been looking amazing with no issues!!

It’s a little more watery than essences and toners I’m used to, I like to apply it with my hands but the consistency makes it a bit hard 

🍓MadeCera Cream Double Essence Toner 🍓 aka the strawberry milk toner • (I was sent from Picky + MadeCera for my honest review.)

🍰🥛🍓 This has become a staple in my daily skin care routine!! 🍓🥛🍰
A lot of toners that are advertised as hydrating toners, also include AHA’s and BHA’s (exfoliating ingredients) that can be harsh on your skin. Every time I receive a hydrating toner I’m so excited, only to read the ingredients and see it has hydrating ingredients, but also ingredients for chemical exfoliation. This can be too much for my sensitive skin. So I was so glad to receive this toner that is so hydrating and actually just hydrating!!! 

I’ve seen quite a few people have the same experience as me, which is that your skin is noticeably different after using it!
Layering skin care is the best way to have hydrated skin, so a hydrating toner like this is important!

When I first started my skin care journey a year ago, I just wanted to try everything. I received more products than I could ever use. But I wanted to try as many as I could! But my skin was looking worse and worse. Then, this summer I’ve stuck to only hydrating ingredients, with a retinol and vitamin c very rarely. This has made my skin look the best it ever has!!! I was getting red irritation spots that I thought were breakouts, so I was using more products! Which in turn made things worse! It’s all about finding what works for your skin. 
But hydration is for everyone!!

Star Ingredients-
•Niacinamide - Hydrates, calms redness, reduces appearance of pores, brightens dark spots, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, May even protect against skin cancer 
•Tumeric - Brightens, reduces blemishes 
•Ceramides -  strengthens the skin barrier and moisturizes 
•Madecassoside - ancient herbal remedy- conditions and soothes skin soothing skin, anti aging 
•Asiatic acid - calms rough, irritated skin, softens wrinkles, protects skin barrier, and boosts collagen production

I’ve not noticed any scent although it lists fragrance as one of the ingredients, but it’s at the very bottom meaning there is barely any. The essence has a strawberry, creamy, milky look. It’s a little more watery than essences and toners I’m used to, I like to apply it with my hands but the consistency makes it a bit hard. It soaks into skin very well. Super hydrating, soothing, and nourishing. It’s a great preparation for the next step of skin care. Makes skin look radiant, glowy and healthy, and feel soft. I’ve been using it daily! It’s become a staple in my skin care routine!! 

I personally love the scent, but I know not everyone loves scents.
& this cream may not be good for oily skin. 
Thats all! 🖤

I received this product for free from Picky and The Skin House in exchange for my honest review:
✨-Luxurious glass packaging jar with beautiful red & black coloring
✨-Filled to the top with product
✨-Light fragrance of that of a high end luxury brand 

✨•Lightweight, soft, creamy consistency 
✨•Non sticky, a bit oily on the skin, slow to absorb
✨•Very moisturizing, rich texture 
✨• Good for dry, dehydrated, or mature skin 
✨• It’s for AM or PM- it’s richness makes it a great night cream, but also great to give you a morning glow!
✨• A good moisturizing winter cream for harsh cold weather on your skin
✨• Applies to the skin very smoothly
✨• Has a nice volume to it, It doesn't soak into the skin and disappear. & leaves a glowing, lasting layer of hydration

I was worried about a break out because rich, heavy creams tend to do that, even viral top favorite brands that everyone loves lol, but my skin looked great the next morning. My skin looked superrrr glowy, moisturized & plump, & my skin felt very hydrated, nourished & super soft!!💖
