Basically as the title says. Turned 40 in March and for the last year my skin has changed drastically. I use SPF 50 in my regular moisturizer so it’s not necessary in my foundation. I recently tried Ilia Super Serum foundation, and while the formula doesn’t enhance my fine lines and the color matching was easy, it makes me very itchy, it shows off too many of my bumps/other imperfections, and the smell is horrible. Can anyone recommend a foundation for very dry skin (mainly around nose, mouth, chin, and cheeks)with occasional oily forehead if it’s humid out (otherwise my forehead is a “regular amount” of dry)? I would like it to be non-clogging as I am prone to milia and acne still. Light to medium coverage. Budget-Up to $70. I was considering NARS light reflecting but not sure of what else could work.

Been super duper insecure about my skin and face more than usual lately, Just thought i’d share some realness with y’all and show the acne/texture/discolouration I have + uneven face in full HDR, and how it looks with makeup on top…. haaaate the texture around my mouth and nose but trying hard to see past it, no amount of foundation or concealer will hide that. It’s just that time of the month where my skin does what it wants no matter what skincare or makeup I do lol. Also am currently using epiduo gel (differin + benzoyl peroxide) for my acne and that causes some dryness as you can see under my nose…. I’ve been struggling with bad oily/acne prone skin all my life and makeup has helped me feel more confident throughout the years! Here’s the list of products I used for this look: Skin Prep •Geek & Gorgeous stress less serum •Geek & Gorgeous Hydration station moisturiser •Cosrx Ultra-Light invisible sunscreen Base • Estée Lauder double wear - 4W1 • L’oreal true match radiant serum concealer - 4N • Kiko Milano sculpting touch creamy stick contour - 202 (used to shade nose + eyelid + cheekbones) • Sheglam Smart cookie palette (I know it’s eyeshadow but sometimes I use the warm shades as a bronzer don’t come for me) • Nyx butter melt blush - my butta half 01 • Maybelline fit me pressed powder - 120 classic ivory (I use a little to set my concealer with a small brush, then use a big kabuki brush of this wherever I get oily) • I am also using a touch of a matte white highlighter I found on amazon on my nose and under my eyebrows Eyebrows + eyes • Maybelline Super lock brow glue - 000 Clear • Kiko Milano eyebrow marker - 04 • Elf instant lift eyebrow pencil - Deep brown • Kissme Heroine Mascara Waterproof - black • Nyx Epic Ink liner - 01 Black • Kiko Milano Colour Kajal Kohl pencil - 03 (used to highlight inner corners) Lips • Maybelline lifter liner - 05 on it • YSL love shine candy glaze - 03 (just in the middle of bottom lip, then I spread it with my finger all around) • I forgot to add a little moisture to my dry azz lips before taking the pictures but I am also using a touch of Sosu Lip Glaze in Almond Butter! I do still need to buy a highlighter and a proper bronzer, I’ve been eyeing haus labs glassy balm highlighter stick in champagne quartz for the highlighter. Do let me know if you’ve tried this! and recs for bronzer that isn’t too red/orange as well if possible :( EDIT: Just want to note that this is not my daily makeup. It is not the cause of my acne OR making it worse. Makeup when applied properly with the right products will sit just fine on top of it. Besides, I go most days without wearing any at all because i’m a hermit that doesn’t like to leave to house :D and when I do, it depends what situation i’m about to be in and i’ll match my makeup to that. I would wear heavy makeup like this more for a night out, date, if i feel like it or if i’m even bothered. This shit takes at least 40 mins lmao. My go to if I wanna look alive is my eyebrow + eye combo and elf plums up lip tint on my lip and cheek submitted by

Hi! I’m looking for help troubleshooting my base routine + foundation recommendations for dry, maturing skin. I'm lucky that i actually have pretty great skin for my age. Everyone thinks I'm younger than i am, but i do have dry, aging skin with fine lines like anyone else my age. My makeup looks good initially, but I keep getting patchiness, texture, and settling into fine lines as the day goes on. Skin type / concerns: - Dry + dehydrated - Fine lines becoming more noticeable - Redness in cheeks (prefer medium or buildable coverage to help with this but NOT full coverage) - Fair, cool-to-neutral undertone Foundations I’ve tried: - Purito Cica Clearing BB Cream (used to love, but shade range + formula change issues) - Dior Forever Skin Glow (0CR) - Chanel Les Beiges (B00) - Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue (1N0 porcelain) - NARS Light Reflecting Foundation (Yulong) - Milk Makeup Skin Tint (1) I'm currently using milk makeup skin tint. It is the least patchy on me, but after a few hours begins to look "powdery". All of these look decent at first but don’t wear well on me. Primer: - Milk Makeup Hydro Grip (no noticeable difference vs no primer) Application: - Pat in with fingers first, then blend with a sponge Powder + setting: - Laura Mercier setting powder (a lovely powder but makes me lose too much glow) - TIRTIR Mask Fit 24hr Fixer - Have tried spraying setting spray between layers Skin prep: - Micellar water cleanse (sometimes skip AM cleanse if no-makeup day) - HA peptide serum - Purito Oat-In Gel Cream - Sunscreen (usually water-based) - Wait at least 5+ min before makeup Actives (PM): - Sunday Riley Good Genes - Tretinoin 0.025% (alternate nights) I tend to get the most dryness on the Appels of my cheeks and in between my eyebrows so in the evening for extra moisture I've started dabbing on cold pressed Rose hop oil in these spots as a final step. --- What I’m trying to figure out: - Best prep for dry/maturing skin before makeup - Foundations/skin tints that don’t cling to dryness or settle - Whether primer is even necessary here - If powder is worth using at all (and how to keep a glowy finish if I do) - Application techniques that help with texture I feel like I’ve tried a lot of “hydrating/glowy” products, but I’m still not getting that smooth, skin-like finish. Would love any product recs or technique advice! I tend to get issues with pilling when i mix water based with silicone based even with waiting in between but again open to ANY suggestions. Thank you! submitted by /u/Waywardgarden to r/MakeupAddiction [link] [comments]

I have a (seemingly) good skincare routine, and my foundation looks good some of the time, but it still looks dry a lot as well. I find it will look good on application but by the end of the day my skin has sucked up all the moisture and gets patchy/dry. my current skincare routine (I switch up serums and stuff occasionally) i’m from rice toner torriden dive in serum manyo bifida ampoule embryolisse sensitive moisturizer beauty of joseon spf I do occasionally use the ordinary’s glycolic acid toner to try and help the patchiness from dryness some of the better foundations i’ve tried nars light reflecting dior skin glow givenchy luminous silk (this one is one of the best i’ve tried, but I am pale and the lightest shade doesn’t work for me :/) tarte maracuja tinted moisturizer (I use this if I want less coverage, works good but I like more coverage) I also set with laura mercier ultra blur. so far been my favourite setting powder for my skin. I don’t like super dewy so I need to set with a powder i’ve tried others but these are the ones I cycle through the most at the moment. I can make them work, but I wish I could find something that worked better. I was thinking of trying the haus labs foundation? but i’ve heard mixed things. if anyone has any suggestions or advice, either in foundation or skincare! submitted by /u/venight to r/Makeup [link] [comments]

Hi! I have dry and cool fair skin. I want a medium coverage foundation. Do you have any experience with the ones I have listed? I am also open to more recs. Ones I do not want are Haus Labs (can't find a shade match) and Nars (bottle leaks). Thank you!! submitted by /u/OkYoghurt3226 to r/Sephora [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I’m currently in a bit of a foundation crisis My longtime staples Estée Lauder Double Wear and Armani Luminous Silk have both been reformulated, and unfortunately they’re no longer working for me. I recently repurchased Luminous Silk, but it’s sitting poorly on my skin and even causing small bumps, which never used to happen. For context, I have very dry skin, and it’s been worse lately due to a series of injections and nerve blocks, which seem to be increasing both dryness and redness. I used to pair a NARS primer with those foundations and had a flawless base, but that combo just isn’t performing the same anymore. I’ve also tried the NARS Light Reflecting Foundation. While I like its overall finish and find it more forgiving on dry skin, it can still cling to dry patches depending on the day so it’s not quite a perfect match either. At this point, I’m looking for recommendations: what foundation are you currently using, and what does your full base routine look like (prep, primer, foundation, setting products)? I’m especially interested in products that hydrate, smooth texture, and don’t emphasize flaking. For skincare, I do maintain a consistent routine with hydrating and barrier-supporting products, plus SPF during the day. I’ve also recently added a facial mist serum and a setting spray that I really enjoy. Would love to hear what’s working for you thank you in advance! submitted by /u/Kind-Designer9171 to r/BeautyGear [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I’m curious what foundations you’re all currently using and what your base makeup looks like these days. I feel like I’m in a bit of a foundation crisis right now 😭 Both of my longtime regulars Estée Lauder double wear and Armani luminous silk have been reformulated. I recently repurchased the Armani one and it’s not sitting well on my skin at all, plus I’m getting slight bumps from it which never used to happen. For reference, I have very, very dry skin and lately it’s been even worse because I’m going through a series of injections and nerve blocks, which seems to be making the dryness and redness more intense. I used to pair the Nars primer with either of those foundations and it worked beautifully before the reformulations. I’ve also tried the Nars light reflecting foundation and while I do like it overall (it’s definitely more forgiving on dry skin) I still find that it can cling to dry patches sometimes depending on the day. So I’d love to know what foundation are you currently using and what does your full base routine looks like? Edited to add- few people reached out to be to ask about my skin care and if it’s adding to the dryness. My current skin care routine is - Morning - Forrest essential delicate facial cleanser in Mashobra honey, lemon and rose water. Medicube PDRN pads, Anua 10+ Azelaic acid and hyaluron, Illiyoon ceramide ato lotion, Nivea super water 50 gel. Night- Centella light cleansing oil, Same face wash as morning, Loccitane immortelle precieuse emulsion/good genes by Sunday Riley on alternating days. Illiyoon ceramide lotion. Anua 0.1+ retinol and caffeine cream/good molecules Yerba eye gel on alternating days. Marula oil. I have also recently purchased the d’alba first spray serum and use CT’s airbrush flawless setting spray, which I absolutely love. submitted by /u/Icy-Turn-2759 to r/Makeup [link] [comments]

Hellooo! Needing some advice before that VIP sale I’m going into office again for work and wearing foundation 2-3 days a week isn’t really great for my skin so I’m looking for something lighter, but still provide some coverage! Context: my skin is on the warmer side (Asian), really dry (so I prefer the dewy glowy look), not acne prone skin. Currently using “Givenchy Prisme Libre Skin-Caring Glow Foundation” 3-W245 Wanted to see if anyone have tried these products and could give me insights? - Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint - ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint - bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer - Glossier Perfecting Skin Tint (packaging for this is so disappointing and messy to me :( but wondering if the product is good enough to overlook it) Any thoughts would very much appreciated! submitted by /u/PutridEngineering111 to r/Sephora [link] [comments]

Hey! I'm looking for a new foundation after realizing just how sensitive and reactive my skin is. I am very pale and have always run red, even orange compared to my neck. I want a foundation that is non-irritating, soothing, calming and doesn't have ingredients that will create more inflammation, like fragrance or even niacinamide. I used Nars in shade Light and do like the coverage but want other suggestions specifically formulated for my skin issues. My skin is dry but gets fairly oily once I have makeup on. I also wear a mask all day so I'd like something that soaks into my skin vs sits on top, and nothing too heavy, more like a serum or BB/CC cream would probably be better! Recs I've already seen are for It Cosmetics, Clinique Redness correcting, and Eborian CC cream :) submitted by /u/bones_n_brains to r/Rosacea [link] [comments]

Hi! I have dry skin and I’m looking for a lightweight foundation that actually lasts on the skin and doesn’t disappear after just a few hours. I’ve been considering these: •Covergirl Clean Fresh Skin Milk Foundation •Versed Skin Solution Multi-Serum Skin Tint •e.l.f. Halo Glow Skin Tint •Revlon Illuminance Skin-Caring Foundation I’ve also thought about the Maybelline Super Stay Skin Tint, but I’ve seen that it’s formulated more for oily skin and doesn’t perform as well on dry skin. I’ve heard amazing things about the L’Oréal True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum, but from the reviews I’ve seen, even the lightest shade looks too dark for my very fair (Casper-level) skin. Have you tried any of these? What are your thoughts? Which one would you recommend? submitted by /u/NobodyIsAnnG to r/MakeupAddiction [link] [comments]

Skin type: dry, sensitive Skin tone: fair Age: 28 Skin concerns: I have seasonal allergic dermatitis caused by tap water and heat Climate: humid subtropical (hot and humid summer, frosty winter) Various products Skin1004 - Hyalu-cica sleeping pack I started using it in the summer and finished the tube at the beginning of October (it’s still hot in my area at this time). It made a perfect finishing step of my PM skincare for the hot season. Once it became colder outside, this product didn’t perform as well as before, and my skin lacked hydration. Still, I will definitely re-purchase it for next summer. Dokdo - 1025 toner What an endless bottle it was! This toner is very simple, and it doesn’t do much, so I just poured it into a small sprayer bottle and carried it around to spray onto my face whenever it started feeling too dry. If you expect results from your toner, it’s not the right choice. Dokdo - 1025 cleansing oil When I choose a cleansing oil, I have 2 main criteria: it should deal with heavy makeup, and it shouldn’t have an irritating smell. This one matches both, so it’s a good choice. Parnell - Cicamanu 92 serum I expected more from this one. It ran out extremely quickly before I noticed any results. This serum has a thick texture and a lot of centella, honey and ceramides, so I hoped that my skin would love it, but it made no difference. Note! If you have acne-prone skin, I wouldn’t recommend using it because the lactobacteria may cause breakouts. Dr. Ceuracle - Vegan Kombucha tea essence I’m sure many dry skin girlies already know this product, so I’ll only say that I’m a huge fan of this product. It was a game-changer for my routine, and I will repurchase it as much as I can. Bonus for sensitive skin: it’s unscented. Torriden - Dive in serum It’s the first hyaluronic acid serum that made a difference for me. I got the Dive In kit as a gift (cream, sunscreen, sheet masks and serum), but I used the masks and the serum so far. Maybe it would yield even better results if I used every product from the kit, but I was happy enough with the serum. It gave my skin enough hydration to make it through the day (or night). Beauty of Joseon - Green plum toner This is the only exfoliating toner that doesn’t ruin my fragile skin barrier. Unfortunately, it got reformulated, so I’m reviewing the old version. If you manage to find a non-expired one, I’d recommend it as a gentle PM routine solution for exfoliation. Also, BoJ toners seem endless; it takes a lot of time to finish the bottle, even with regular use. Beauty of Joseon - Relief sun: Rice + probiotics SPF It’s not my first tube of this sunscreen. It’s good for dry skin but only during cold weather. It’s heavy and has a shiny finish. It also has a strong white cast, but my skin is fair, so it’s not a problem for me. If you wear makeup, note that many foundations and cushions look bad on top of this product. Given that it has more cons than pros, I wouldn’t recommend it. Purito - Dermide relief barrier moisturiser I’d put it into the “repurchase for the rest of my life” category if it hadn’t been reformulated. Sigh. The version I have in the photo is unscented, deeply moisturising, and calmed my irritated skin almost instantly. I had to rub it into my skin thoroughly to remove the white cast, but the effect was worth it. I liked it better than the well-known Aestura. Purito - Mighty bamboo panthenol cream An overhyped product which is absolutely horrible imo. It broke me out even though I’m not acne-prone. I used it on my body, but it just left a dry layer on my skin, like a film. Dr. G - Vita clear sun serum This one was very good for summer (or any hot season) routine. My summer routine is vitamin C-based to prevent skin darkening, so this sunscreen matched it well. It has a light texture and an almost unnoticeable scent. The package comes with a pump, though, which makes it difficult to do the two-finger thing. d’Alba - First spray serum It’s an arguable product, to be honest. It’s expensive, so I’d think twice before purchasing it. I got it for free, so I had no regrets, but I’d say it’s not for dry skin girlies. First, the product marketing is all over the place: it suggests using it as the first step of your skincare routine, which doesn’t make sense because of the oil in it. I tried using it as a facial mist and got little to no hydration and a greasy shine on my face. The only way to use it for me is a setting spray. When I finish my makeup, I spray some of this product on my face so the skin doesn’t peel off. My friend with comby-to-oily skin is a big fan of this product, so you can consider it for non-dry skin types. VT - CE A1 azelaic acid cica exosome With my rosacea-prone, sensitive skin, I can say that this product really works. Its texture scared me at first because it felt like oil, but there are no oils in it. The product page doesn’t reveal how much azelaic acid there is exactly, but non-official sources say that it’s 20%. Despite this, it didn’t harm my skin and worked well to reduce redness during the hot season. VT - Cica vital cream + vitamin C (Japanese version) I was sceptical about this one at first, especially since it’s actually a gel. It turned out to be a perfect product for a hot and humid summer. It kept moisture on my face properly without a sticky finish or clodding. I usually prefer my products unscented, but this one has a light yuzu fragrance, so I could tolerate it. I would love to repurchase it if I manage to find the Japanese version again. VT - Vita-light reedle shot It was a nice addition to my summer vitamin C-based routine. I doubt that it would yield results on its own without other vitamin C products, but I was satisfied with the effect in general. VT - Reti-a reedle shot I’m not new to retinol, but this one turned out too aggressive for my skin. It caused too much peeling off, and I didn’t notice any positive results. There are other, much better retinol products for dry and sensitive skin. Heimish - Marine care retinol for face serum …And this is one of them. The percentage of retinol is tiny, so it may be good for beginners. Despite it’s called a serum, the texture is more like a light cream, so I used it in summer for my PM routine and skipped the night cream. Bad skin - Artemisia paste form cleanser I purchased a full version even before I finished the mini package. Pros: gentle exfoliation like from an enzyme powder, pore control, no irritation for sensitive skin. Cons (subjective): looks like a turd, feels like a turd, smells of mugwort heavily.

No matter what I do, my makeup always cakes on my chin, upper lip and under my eyes, and most of the time around my nose but not as bad. For my morning skincare routine, ive tried waiting for 2 minutes, 20 minutes and an hour, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Ive tried exfoliating, shaving peach fuzz, tried different primers with different foundations (making sure they match water/silicone), ive tried a full AM skincare routine (toner, serum, eye cream, moisturiser, spf). Ive tried stripping it down to just eye cream and moisturiser. Ive tried using different moisturisers etc. Ive tried different setting sprays, and changing how I apply foundation, with a brush or damp beauty blender. Ive tried using more loose powder, and less. I think im combi skinned, leaning more dry. I know my under eyes are dry, but ive tried like 10 different eyes creams and am yet to notice a difference to any creasing. Is there anything im missing? Or do I just have to accept my fate of caking after an hour? submitted by /u/scrambledmegdesigns to r/MakeupAddiction [link] [comments]

Hope his reaches the right people, but I live in an arid desert and have normal/dry skin. I call it the crusty combo. At night I can load on moisture and slug. But during the day when I want to wear makeup, I have to find the most hydrating foundation as possible. But most hydrating foundations just don’t last as long as those matte ones and since they are designed to stay “dewy”, they come off more easily on clothes or if you touch your face. While at my cousin’s house (she lives in humid Texas) I became obsessed with Dior Forever Matte and bought some $$$ It was a waste though, because when I got home, that foundation was just too dry. No matter the serums, moistures, mists I used first, its was still SO. SO DRY. One day I said if this matte foundation is meant for oily skin then fuck it, I’m going to make my skin oily so after I washed my face, I loaded it with a skin-similar face oil (squalane + jojoba). My face was SHINY. Let it set in a minute. And then put Dior Forever Matte over my oily face. Just slapped it on with no primer. My gawwd it was perfection. My skin was so happy with its moisture locked in with oil. But at the same time, the matte foundation kept the oil from leaking through. Just a mild satin finish. Not drying. TLDR: if your skin is dry and you have never been able to wear long-wearing matte foundation meant for oily skin….just make your skin the way that foundation was designed. Make your skin oily first. submitted by /u/-You-know-it- to r/Makeup [link] [comments]

hello beautiful people! Thank you to the people who interacted with me on my last post here - it was helpful to know what all you wanted me to look out for! I will try to address the questions that were raised in the last post. Hope this helps you make an informed choice. TESTING CONDITIONS every fair test needs to expand upon its testing conditions. Here's what I was working with - medium-neutral olive skintone. closest foundation match: estee lauder double wear in cashew oily-combination skin. heavy acne scarring. weather: cloudy, cool, not very muggy or humid, plenty of sun. no primer. my regular primer is the danessa myricks yummy skin blurring balm, because its the only product that can control my oil production. Yes, I am that oily. But I thought it will be a good idea to test the product without a primer. why? for three reasons. average consumer doesn't wear primer in their day to day ideally, a skin tint shouldn't need a primer. i wanted to see how the product would perform against my oily skin without the help of danessa. I applied the product using my fingers as well as a makeup brush. SKIN TINT OR FOUNDATION? the formula doesn't quite know what it wants to do on the packaging that i received, the product is named "super serum skin tint" whereas on the website, it is called the face card serum foundation. this inconsistency is the cornerstone of this product. it doesn't know whether it wants to be a skin tint or a foundation. to be clear, the product is more foundation than skin tint. it's thick and goopy (and it gets everywhere!!) and when it goes on the skin, it lays down very much like an oily, heavy foundation. This isn't a negative thing, necessarily - but I fear for those of us who wanted rare beauty at fae beauty prices will have to keep looking. Full disclosure, I expected a skin tint and am on the hunt for a skin TINT. I have plenty of foundations and don't really need another one. THE SERUM PROBLEM - DO WE REALLY NEED MORE NIACINAMIDE? I'm copying this directly from the fae beauty website. this is what their marketing material claims Niacinamide (0.5%) - Brightens, refines pores, strengthens barrier Kakadu Plum (2%) - Contains the highest recorded natural concentration of Vitamin C - up to 100x more than an orange. To Brighten dull skin and boost radiance. Fade dark spots & acne pigmentation. Liquorice Extract (0.2%) - To calm inflammation and redness. Moringa Oil (0.5%) - Nourishes & protects against pollution Amino Acids (0.5%) - Help maintain hydration & skin resilience Hybrid SPF system - SPF 15 - Protects from sun damage I have a huge problem with niacinamide and other heavy hitter actives being in makeup products, because they don't suit everybody. The other major issue is, the actives present in this formulation are too little to actually have any benefit. you're never going to put enough skin tint on your face to have the full effect of niacinamide. and 2% vitamin C... give me a break? 2% is nothing. so what we have here is all these actives getting wasted in the formula, because they're too little to have tangible benefits. but at the same time, they are present and may cause allergic reactions to skin types that are more sensitive. This is a big problem with the sciencification of makeup. In order to make up for past wrongs, we have pivoted too hard in the other direction. We're putting niacinamide in everything, and it really needs to fucking stop. UPON IMMEDIATELY APPLYING... I noticed that it goes on incredibly oily. like, very oily. I wonder if the moringa oil is doing overtime here or if there's some other ingredients here that that is a heavy hitter. I am not a cosmetic chemist, so maybe someone else can weigh in. From what I can tell, in their effort to make the product look dewy, they have added some heavy hitter silicone products, in addition to the kakadu plum oil and the moringa oil. My first application, it was a little disconcerting to have a product this oily on my face. I thought I was applying it wrong, because the excess oil made it difficult to see if I'd blended the product properly. After going in with my hands, I also went in with a dense foundation brush to blend it. Didn't help. I decided to let the product dry on my face, before going in with the rest of my products. IT TOOK ONE HOUR FOR THE FOUNDATION TO DRY DOWN, the oiliness of the product began to settle. Just to give it an additional boost - I topped it with some huda beauty powder (shade kunafa) in the more oily areas of my face. After the powdering, it started looking more skin-like and dewy rather than just oily. If you do buy this product and plan to use it, i would recommend starting your makeup atleast two hours before you are to go somewhere, because even with my oiliness, it took the foundation quite a bit of time to truly settle into my skin. After my hour, I put some products on top. mac gingerly blush milk makeup contour nars soft matte concealer + estee lauder double wear concealer nyx i know that's bright palette. milani make it last dewy setting spray huda beauty easy bake powder MAC glossy liner - root for me MAC lustreglass alone time MAC kajal CLIO long curling mascara the products settled well and didn't pill or react immediately. I'm a little shy about putting my face on reddit but my makeup looked fly as heck (my girlfriends said so!). other than the milk contour, I would recommend all these products. anyway, back to the review. DID IT OXIDISE? yes. here i took the two photographs against the same window, and roughly the same angle. today, in my city, the weather has fluctuated and sunlight has been more or less steady. if you notice the two photos, it kind of looks like I've had a slightly bad tan in the second pic. does it look terrible? no. i went out and it was fine. not oompa loompa orange. but while purchasing, I would probably buy one shade below. of course, this is slightly difficult for me because the shade directly below my shade 31N, is 30N which has a "peach undertone". Most decidedly, peach is not my undertone. I'll just save money and go for rare beauty. DID IT PILL? no. here there was no pilling, caking or flaking. in fact, it blended most beautifully with my other products, to give a really nice glow. you'll notice under my eye, there's a slight fading and feathering. it looks like it is clinging to the dryness, but that's because i have run out of eyecream and my undereyes were crusty as hell. overall, as far as pilling goes, it has performed well given i didn't put any primer. IS IT TRANSFER PROOF? yes, somewhat. after it is on the face, there's slight transfer before it dries. but once its dry its pretty much not moving from your face. WHAT TYPE OF SKIN WILL IT SUIT? if you are someone who dislikes the oily feeling, it will not suit you. it may be best suited for dry skin, but to be very fair I didn't notice any substantial issues on my oily combi skin. I will say, if you have sensitive skin, its best to avoid because of the heavy hitter actives, the oils and the pore clogging silicones. DID IT COVER ACNE SCARRING? ohohoho, here's my time to shine. if there's any type of acne scarring out there in the world, I most likely have it. you can check out the pics I've put above, and judge for yourselves. Here are my thoughts - it wont cover the icepick, boxcar and rolling scars. it will cover some hyper-pigmentation and marks. think of it as your average medium-low coverage foundation. you can use it to even out the skin, not necessarily cover. use your colour correctors. HOW LONG DID IT LAST? It's about 75% gone from my skin after a good 4.5 hours. I actually don't like long wearing products, and to be fair - I did not use primer. I suppose with primer it would have lasted full 8 hours as they claim, though that's hard to say. I am super oily, haha. So, not a minus for me. OTHER SKIN TINTS? since this is a foundation, I think its unfair to compare it to the house of makeup skin tint - which is the only other skin tint that is being created by an indian brand. however, I will say - the house of makeup one is a true-blue skin tint. its a runny, beautiful formulation that sits very well on the skin. If you can find your shade in the house of makeup skin tint - go for that one. why i say "find your shade" ?- because you may find it difficult to. their medium m10 is NEON ORANGE on me. they have completely fucked up undertones. difficult to figure out which shade to buy using their website images. however, i have dear friends who have found their shades and are VERY HAPPY with the product. I'm just unlucky. such is life. SPEAKING OF UNDERTONES... I truly don't think the fae team understands undertones. They have marketed their shades as "olive" and "warm" and "cool" but I found it highly strange that no matter what I put, it all seemed orange on me. for reference, I tried shades in the medium skin range (40N, 30N, 31N, 41O, 42N, 32W) - i don't have images, but frankly don't think I need them either. just go on the website and observe their own images. the neutrals are very orange. the warms are even more orange. the cool will likely be peach. if you want to understand what olive foundations should look like, look no further than about face beauty - which i consider the gold standard for actually olive foundations. the difference will astound you. this isn't to shit on fae, atleast they're mentioning olive. but, be warned. you may need blue color corrector. LA Girl has a good one. FINAL THOUGHTS good marketing, terrible execution. I am more forgiving of FAE than I am of other brands, because I do think their brand ethos is very clever. they identified a gap in the market and are now having a lot of fun in it. I do wish the marketing would be backed up by solid products. unfortunately this hasn't been the case for the foundation. I am not a fae hater. I like the lip whip and the brown kajal. but the products have been inconsistent across the board. The lip liner fades after 20 minutes, lets not even talk about the gloss. Unfortunately for me, the foundation is another miss. Given the oiliness, the work it took to make it work for me (one hour wait is far too much) and the oxidation, I don't know if I am willing to spend 1000 rupees on the product. I can just mix moisturiser into my estee lauder and make a skin tint that doesn't give me so much trouble. hunt for a good skin tint continues... https://preview.redd.it/02r2pbg4zwtf1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=1754de868819451c6fac35e37eeb7ab5a17112a9 submitted by /u/SexyFoodandFilms to r/IndianBeautyTalks [link] [comments]

Warning: Very long post filled with glowup tips and tricks learned over the years, from women who have it all ;) We're at the last quarter of 2025. Let's end the year strong by sharing your favorite glowup tips, whether that's emotional, physical, or mental! Here are some of mine: Hair Invest in good haircare tools - Whether that's buying a worthwhile tool (Dyson/Phillips) or a wooden comb (Hua Mulan is my favorite), your haircare tools should be quality. Never scrimp on products that could potentially damage your hair (like an off-brand hair dryer!) Know your hair porosity - I have thick, wavy hair but I'm a low porosity girl whose hair feels instantly heavy or greasy with the wrong conditioners. Most people are low porosity if they haven't undergone too many hair treatments or if walang rebond/bleach. Then you'll know which conditioners are more likely to work for you Pre-wash hair oil treatment - Add any suitable oil to your hair (for me it's Jojoba or Sunflower) at least 30 minutes before showering, rinse it off with conditioner. Less frizz and your hair will feel much smoother. Skin Hydrating Toners - For girls with dehydrated skin (different from dry skin), layering your toners (at least 2-3 thin layers) will give your skin the bounce and dewiness it desperately needs. Mochi skin can be achieved by the right toner. (For me, Hada Labo in the white bottle is a good start) Sunscreen - Never leave the house without wearing it. Yes, even on rainy or cloudy days. A lot of Japanese and PH brands have perfected facial sunscreen without the thick, heavy feeling (Belo Dewy Essence is the closest we have to light, dewy japanese sunscreen!). Lightening Dark Spots/PIH - Cos de Baha's TXN is a true life saver and has significantly improved my PIH in a month. If you suffer from dark spots, also consider hydroquinone. Pick a routine and stick with it - The best skincare routine is the one you can consistently follow. You can start with 4 (cleanser, toner, moisturizer + spf in the day), and slowly integrate serums, vitamin C, and exfoliation as you go. It just takes time and getting used to Makeup A good eyelash curler - will change everything. Know if your eye shape is more round or wide, and adjust accordingly. Not all curlers are made the same, which is why they can cause your lashes to lie flat no matter how many times you curl. Shiseido creates different curlers for different eye shapes. Know your undertone - If your makeup looks out of place, too pinkish or too orange, it's because of your undertone. Know this and you will unlock the right colors for your face. Btw, lavender and lilac blushes look great on cool tone girls, while pinkish hues can look orangey. Foundation is thinner than concealer for your face - A lot of people use concealer all over their face, but the product is really meant to cover smaller areas, hence why we use it for dark spots/circles primarily. You'll achieve a more skin-like finish with actual foundation rather than concealer. BB cream also works. Sample often - Say no to blind buys, especially for expensive makeup. As much as you can, sample in stores like Look At Me (MOA) or at Rustan's. It will save you from buying makeup you don't use. A good color corrector - is one thing every gal needs, especially if you have dark circles. Skin Food, Pixi, and NARS all have suitable correctors. You'll know it's good if you no longer need to wear concealer/very minimal concealer. Falsies - Can up your game and make your eyes that much prettier. Choose based on your eye shape. Fox lashes suit longer eyes, while Dog/Puppy lashes suit rounder eyes. Perfume Signature Scent - So chic. If people compliment you often on it, or if you feel confident in it, it's a good candidate. But also consider the hot and humid weather in the Philippines, where caramel and vanilla scents can cause headaches. Decants and samples - Buy 1mL samples instead of bottles if you're not 100% you'll like the scent - it scratches the itch to buy, too. You can get 1-2 days of wear on a sample and know if it's for you Spritz your hair - Perfume that is lightly applied to hair wafts in the air very pleasantly; if you want your scent to last, spray here. Lifestyle Be serious, but don't take things seriously - Guy ghosts you after 3 great dates? Kick him to the curb. Didn't do your best at work? Laugh it off and try again. Be serious about your goals but playful about the means. Life is too short to agonize over people and situations that aren't meant to last. Less stress = better outlook, better looks, too! Incorporate movement - Walk a little everyday and do some exercise. Dance workouts, yoga tutorials, and at home pilates - all good. You need to find something you can tolerate. The skin glow that working out gives cannot be imitated by makeup or skincare alone Tea in the morning - Met a 40 year old woman who didn't look a day over 28. Her secret is jasmine and green tea or lemon with sea salt in the morning. It could be genetics, but I do it anyway and I feel refreshed. Full of antioxidants and the good stuff. Intentional Eating - Do you really want that triple cheeseburger, or are you avoiding confronting work stress? Do you want that bag of chips, or are you just trying to move on from a failed talking stage? Eating can be emotional - and if you can handle your emotions well, you'll learn when you're using food as a cope or as something to nourish your body Say No - Boundaries are everything. You get better at this as you get older. Say no to the extra work tasks. Don't be afraid to stand your ground if someone's making you uncomfortable. The better you get at protecting your boundaries, the more confidence you get and more alignment you'll be in. These are just a few of the many things I've acquired over the years. A mouthful, I know. But tiis-ganda is real, it is a work of a lifetime. Would love to hear your tips and tricks, too. xx submitted by /u/QueasyExamination7 to r/beautytalkph [link] [comments]

I just need a little extra oomph to blur age spots and spider veins at 42. I tried Nars Tinted Moisturizer in Alaska and WOW perfect...but it burns! I also tried Ilia Skin Tint—way too glowy. And their serum foundation—broke me straight out. Non-comodogenic? Not oxidizing? What do you less-is-more peeps love? My skin tone is light-medium warm skewing quite yellow / golden. I prefer a skin-like or lightly glowy finish, no matte and no super glow. My skin is balanced, but our climate is dry—more likely to skew dry than be oily. I'm fine with paying $50 or $60 for the right thing. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/greysunlightoverwash to r/Makeup [link] [comments]

Hi guys! *For title it should be Lasers/Skincare/Beauty Hacks *I have tan skin so lasers are a bit complicated due to risk of hyperpigmentation I.e. IPL not mentioned DISCLAIMER: PLEASE double check this with the science, before/afters, own skin and goals, and research articles. I'm not a dermatologist but a majority of my friend circle are physicians and we all do this anyhow before trying anything. I don't have time to cite articles etc and this is just MY experience SO I thought after spending so much money and buying all the overhyped products I should share what worked for me to reduce my skincare regimen and allow me to be makeup free for work. So I've been deep into skincare for a long time and I wanted to officially share it as a lot of my friends asked me to. We don't gatekeep here and I thought Reddit would be the best place. My background: I'm into digital portraits and it requires an understanding of good ratios of the face. I'm also into deep diving into skincare hacks like all of us. Here's what I think works off the top of my head. Procedures Ultraclear + Coring: forget ponytail facelifts, lip lifts, belphs, skinpinch, brow lifts, etc until you try this first. A good tech can get you the results you want. Ask to core where you want max lift. Make sure they pass with all the levels. It's painful so use your own numbing cream (I think some Russian brands are stronger available online), numb for a long time, and opt for the laughing gas or whatever. Make sure to have them use eye shields for your eyes. Have them core in the direction of the lift you want. Ask for a map of how they did it. You'll want 2-3 over a year to get the full lift you want. Nothing supersedes this procedure. For healing: 10% vinegar soaks + ointment + Benev exosomes + Alastin skin nectar. Hydroquinone to prevent spots from forming. Moxi Level 3: It works REALLY well but it's a baby compared to Ultraclear. Make sure to try level 3 for maximum lift. You can do a series of 3 if you're not ready for Ultraclear. Fontana 4D: It also works REALLY well and can contour your cheeks skin the buccal fat removal. Moxi Level3/Fontana 4D def made me hot again after 20lb weight loss causing signs of aging before my wedding. Again do a series of 3 for max results. Ultraclear did the most though, I would do all 3 until I die or go broke. BBL Laser: It works and makes you look like you have foundation on (and gets rid of under eye darkness) but because of techs fears of hyperpigmentation (a real fear) it's hard to find someone to do it. PRF/EZGEL: My under eyes looked better but also the swelling stretched out the skin so it also looks worse? Not worth it. PRF or PRP is useless, the gel is the only thing worth trying. Laser Hair Removal: Make sure they are using the newest machine that is practically painless, find a center that does a full body membership it's cheaper, you'll need 8-12 sessions. The painless one is worth it just get it done all over at Morpheus: painful and melts fat stay away. I did it 3 times, it got rid of my beautiful under eye fat pads, it slimmed my buccal fat, and it got rid of some acne though. It's not worth it due to pain and fat melting and lack of skin tightness effects it so claims. Katalyst EMS Suit >> Emsculpt: They cost the same and both work but you can keep Katalyst for life. Just use settings on abs/butt and get up to level 400, you can thank me later! I had Emsculpt 5X on butt and AB's, it works temporary, now we own. 2 Katalyst suits and they make sure fit whenever we want and honestly just as fast. Emsella: Amazing for sex drive and preventing or helping with prolapse issues! Also works for urinary issues post kids :). Do 6 sessions for prevention and amazing sex. Coolsculpt: Bullshit. Can burn skin btw. HIFU: Melts fat. But it works:) so use in the right areas. J Plasma: feels like lightening bolts attacking skin and limited outcome, stay away. PDO Threads: Forget it, painful, invasive, temporary. Omnilux Redlight Mask: Get the MENS version. It works. Jovs: it breaks apparently l but I'm gonna try it and update yall later. Also curious about Amiro devices given what they say they do/tech they use. ZIIP Halo + Silver Gel >Nuface: It works better than all the other main home microcurrent devices I've tried (nuface, medicube, 2 others on amazon) get the silver serum as daily easy skincare. Forget the other ones. Things on my list: Sofwave, Emface (per reviews sounds useless?), Syllifirm, Profound, comment and lmk I'll try it if it sounds safe and effective. Injections: Botox: Prevent wrinkles (but tbh this is BS until you have a baby line forming), get rid of wrinkles, shrinks muscle. What I've liked: TMJ/Jaw Slimming (30-50U per side), TRAP TOX (amazing and makes your neck longer), LIP FLIP, NOSE TIP, BROW LIFT (only do the tail of the brow not the whole brow) and PLATYSMA (prevents face sagging and actually works, prob the most underrated and important area for Botox!). Filler: Deep Lasers ("lift" = volume) >> Sculptra (natural body makes volume) >> Slow Down on Fillers >> Injector >> Price/Injectable. Fly to the right person LA, Miami, or New York. Make sure the area they inject, they do often. Treat multiple areas BUT WITH 1/3 THE ACTUAL DOSE you want and go again twice. This prevents the botched look. Dissolve overfilled lips, it hurts, but it's worth it. ALA/Glutathione/Vit C: Shrinks pores and evens out skin tone. Make sure to add ALA for max pore shrinking. It also helps regulate sugar. You can also opt for liposomal. Go to a reputable IV center and make sure to have labs to get ALA. Peels/SkinCare: 30%+ Glycolic Acid On Body - Fast way to clear scars and evens out skin tone. Start low and increase slowly to prevent a burn. TCA Peel - Amazing for anti-aging tbh. But go to a spa and have them do it (face or full body) because it's more serious. Musely Spot Cream - Amazing stuff if you're lazy like me and don't like to do 100 things. Combines all the stuff you want for face skincare. Apostrophe Triple Cream for Rosacea - Top 3 ingredients that work for rosacea in 1 bottle. Also look into low dose naltrexone. Also moxi or ultraclear helps. Benev Exosomes + Microneedling: Use for scars and face/body with a home microneedling pen (max the number of needles Dr Pen is good). Calecium Exosomes + Microneedling: A godsend for hair growth. Retinol Gel .1% + Stack With Hydration: get it prescribed. Level up to max %, look up how to layer with coconut oil/moisturizers/Benev to prevent the ugly phase (breakouts, dry skin). Don't need if have Musely spot cream or alternate days. Clindamycin/Benzyl Peroxide Compound Cream: Get it prescribed and store it fridge now. It's the only thing that reliably clears up my acne overnight (I've tried dozens of acne products over 16 years). Alastin Skin Nectar: My main moisturizer post laser. * Wanted to add for Daily I use Prakti Maha mask because it works like under eye filler almost when you stack it on and gets rid of my acne without extra stuff about 60-70% of the time. I combine with Clarins double serum or snail stuff just depends. Also considering plated exosomes. Ourself Lip Plumping: If you don't want lip filler or just want to maximize lip size try this brand it's from the makers of one of the actual fillers and it works. Minoxidil>Grandelash>Latisse: Latisse darks eyelids /under eyes and lose eye fat so stay away!! It's so hard to get that fat back!! Use castor oil for eyelash durability and oral minoxidil for eyelash growth. Pills: Oral Minoxidil: Max your eyelashes and hair volume Low Dose Accutane: Freeze eggs before doing this. Derm will prescribe for chronic acne especially if on back etc. It will also help reduce size of tip of nose if issues with rosacea or thick skin. Gets rid of acne but horrible side effects even at a low dose. Spirinolactone: NOT FOR ME - will give me headache, dehydration, makes me dumb because I'm so dehydrated, worse breakout for months, also just not worth taking this pill. It may work for others? Eyes: Lumify (duh) Hair: Nanoplastia > Keratin Straightening > KBond20 > Olaplex > Dyson Teeth: SMILE Whitening (in office dental procedure) INSANE will get you white instantly Request for double frequency teeth cleanings Purple Toothpaste = Safe Alternative to Home Teeth Whitening that works better Boka Nanohhydroxy Toothpaste (so you don't loose enamel) Toothbrush with Water Flosser Combined (another lazy girl hack) Therabreath (contains xylitol known to prevent cavities) Mind Hacks: TDCS headband :) works for insomnia, works for mood I'll copy past all my comments into above later I use Elemind headband + Calm Sleep Powder for sleep after having sleep issues - (don't want to take meds, Benadryl is very bad for long term health and linked to increased dementia risk) Multivitamin: Make sure it has 5 methylfolate not "folic" acid. Try pure encapsulations or if you want to eat food-source multi try TEND prenatal bar chocolate flavor. Vit D: Try to get level to 60-90 it's suppose to help with a lot of things including depression!! Alzheimer prevention! Even used by oncologists to decrese cancer risk!! I take 50k unit every week and recheck my level after a month to make sure it's atleast 80. I used to have depression. Astaxanthin: 2000x more potent antioxidant than Vit C. It can give you an orangish glow if you overuse or if you're aiming for that! I used to use Vit c and other antioxidants. Omega 3/DHA (fish derived not algae!): Take it or eat fish it's good for you. DHA 1000mg I've been using for 10 years and it makes me smarter and remember more for exams etc. Silica Drops + Collagen 10G Daily w Hylaronic Acid + 100G Protein Daily > Nutrafol > Biotin/Hair Nail Vitamins: yes the standard female nutrafol works, I prefer Minodixil it's faster and better for me and less big pills lol. 1G Water A Day - Eat good food, drink water. Take collagen, eat protein 100G daily, fat 50G daily. Otherwise this is useless. ADD POTASSIUM (prime powder packets) to SLIM FACE SWELLING. Add gua sha or lymph suction drainage also to help. Sauna/Ice Water on Face also works. Low Fat is a FAD - Hit 50G fat a day - obv is you need to optimize weight lower calories and cut inflammatory food like most non vegetable carbs. You can take a food allergy test also and optimize. For example no tomato skins, no onions for us. Exercise (weights good for bones: BUT for brain benefits it's only with aerobic workouts!): increased bdnf and prevents depression also improved blood flow from skin - look into the research and thank me later - you need to burn 1200cal a week to hit this Dairy Does Cause Breakouts - cut it out and see if there's a change for acne Colustrum: ARMRA works better than others but they all work. It's good for gut health aka good for skin. Seed Probiotic: the best strains here. Rosacea/Autoimmune Skin Stuff: Look into low dose naltrexone and astaxanthin. Autoimmune issues cause the face to look puffy! PCOS/Hunger Cravings: Inositol 6G powder or gummy inositol/myoinositol Vitamin: Tend Prenatal Bar (hate daily pills) Gummy CoQ10 200mg Tru Niagen NAD+ (gives me energy) OM matcha mushroom powder (this flavor specifically has a blend that makes me happy/laughing next day, I use when stressed) Silica Drops (makes my hair shiny, nails stronger within weeks) Zinc Picolinate 30mg (if sick or acne) Fisetin (or Qualia monthly) gets rid of dead cells I just feel good when I take it Vital Protein Collagen/Hylaronic Acid Dessicated Beef Liver or Shilajit (micronutrients) Multivitamin: Pure Encapsulations ONE I don't take pills daily except multivitamin or depending on my aim. But these are what work for me and what I've read that makes sense and I've tried without side effects and some benefit x Inpsitol is a miracle that everyone should know about it'll legit make you less anxious too Deodorant: Chlorella Liquid (removes body odor) > Native > Certaindri. want to try the weekly devices out there that actually stop sweating but weighing risks. Native covers me all day smelling good and I used to sweat through EVERYTHING. Nails: basic - sally hansen hard as nails clear (drop 3-4 magenta drops of any brand in for a natural pink nail look) - silica drops make nails tough af - only do RUSSIAN manicures they are magic thank me later SUN: the sun is your enemy for skincare, it's time to be aware of this all the time! Legally UV tint the max of your front car window (there's a way to uv protect without darkening so it's legal). Always wear long sleeves or a hat. Cover face with hand when walking and unprotected. I use supergoop clear sun stick because I'm lazy and it's a stick and doesn't have white caste. I'm sure there's better ones but this is the best clear stick I found. The powder makeup ones are BS and don't actually protect you. A HAT + Long Sleeves >> Weight Loss: I have a chubby face if my BMI is above 19 genetically. Find the BMI you need for optimizing your face. I drink all my water before eating. I drink black decaf with monk fruit (stevia is not as safe, Splenda is bad news) instead of lattes. I put all my food on a salad instead of rice. I don't eat grain carbs because it makes me bloated. I eat spinach daily because it has highest potassium (reduces face bloating). I try to have have less than 1.5G salt daily. I also make sure there is IODINE in my salt for my thyroid (pink salt is causing iodine deficiencies and thus thyroid issues!). No dairy because it gives me acne (try cashew milk 25 cal). I hit 100G protein via NATURAL NO POWDER sources. Then I sleep by getting my fat intake (50g) and veggies cooked with seasoning I like or whatever I want to eat (kind of a baby Intermittant fast but more lax). If I'm craving sweets I eat frozen fruit and add fake honey (monk fruit sweetened avail sprouts). If you made it this far, the most important thing is to be at a healthy weight, eat right, drink water, no alcohol (I've heard from friends: Passion flower extract "anxiety" > IV NAD (addiction)), no smoking(I've heard from friends: Chantix > Wellbutrin> Nicotine Patch > Tapering Nicotine Vape ), no all nighters (if insomnia look above TDCS headband elemind > Calm Sleep Powder > Sublingual Melatonin). This is all I could think of but I've tried a lot feel free to DM me. I've also deep dived into fertility and dementia stuff for friends/family! If you want reccs DM! You can fact check me but I research this stuff just like we all do so you'll find out or realize this is likely the consensus. submitted by /u/Mindmaster04129 to r/30PlusSkinCare [link] [comments]

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a review of the Skin Aqua Serum UV SPF50 because wow, this sunscreen really surprised me in the best way. This is my second time trying a Skin Aqua sunscreen, and I wasn’t expecting to love this one as much as I do. My first was the Skin Aqua Super Moisture Barrier Gel, and that one didn’t work for me at all. I have oily skin and live in the very humid climate of the Philippines, so the greasy finish of that gel just felt uncomfortable, especially for outdoor use. 🌟 Product Claims (from Ratzilla) - SPF50+ PA++++ - Water-resistant (up to 80 minutes) - Lightweight, watery serum texture - Designed for dry, sensitive skin - Alcohol-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, mineral oil-free 🌟 My Experience (Oily Skin + Humid Climate) - This may be marketed toward dry skin, but as someone with oily skin, I LOVED the light, hydrating feel. - Texture is super watery, spreads like a dream, very similar to Skin Aqua Super Moisture Barrier Gel and Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence. - No alcohol scent, no fragrance whatsoever. - No stinging on the eyes or face. - Dries down surprisingly fast for something alcohol-free. - Leaves a dewy but not greasy finish. It’s a healthy glow and not the sticky, heavy kind of dewiness. If you’re someone who dislikes any kind of glow, this might not be for you. - What shocked me most: no greasy film after it dries down! Looks dewy but definitely doesn't feel like I have grease sitting on top of my skin. - Wore beautifully under my non-AB Make Up For Ever (natural-matte) foundation. It gave it a subtle glow that looked radiant but still held up throughout the day. I personally liked the glow, but if you prefer a fully matte or natural base, keep that in mind. - I even wore it to the gym with heavy sweating and it still felt like it held on decently. Just a note: this isn’t marketed as a hardcore outdoor sunscreen, so use with care if you’ll be under intense sun for hours. - Another big plus: no need for an oil cleanser to remove it. I just used my regular gentle foaming cleanser and it came off easily. 💭 Final Thoughts I’m honestly so impressed by this sunscreen. I didn’t expect to love it especially since it’s meant for dry skin but it totally worked for my oily skin in hot, humid weather. Compared to my other gel-type sunscreens, I actually like this more than both Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence 2025 reformulation and Kose Suncut UV Perfect Gel for everyday use. Kose Suncut is still my go-to for all-day outdoor activities, but this Skin Aqua Sunscreen is an amazing everyday option especially if you want something comfy, elegant, and non-irritating. submitted by /u/AtTheUngodlyHour to r/AsianBeauty [link] [comments]
