Sunscreen Tip: The 2-finger guideline to using enough sunscreen

February 25, 2021 Paris B 5 Comments

I recently came across a cute little video on Instagram (can’t remember the account, so sorry! It was something that popped up on the Explore page). It was a girl showing just how much skincare product we should be using on our faces.

I found it relevant, because when she showed how much sunscreen you’re supposed to use, I smiled. It’s about as much product as I use. In fact, it’s a little less than I usually use, but for most people, it would be a better guide than most.

This was such an easy guide, I had to share it with you! 🙂

Wearing makeup again and absolutely loving the Shiseido Minimalist Whipped Powder Blush

Goodness, when was the last time I reviewed a makeup product?! (I checked. It was February 2020 – a year ago!) It’s hard to review something when you don’t use it, and makeup has been something I’ve forsaken for the better part of a year.

But recently, I decided to put on a little when I go out, just to keep my hand in, and my eye fell on a tub of Shiseido Minimalist Whipped Powder Blush I bought 2 years back and never used. Thanks, lockdown LOL!

Well, I’m here to tell you that if you too are starting to get back on the makeup bicycle, and are looking around for an easy to use, pretty blush, I’d highly recommend this one from Shiseido – totally blew me away! 😀

For a moisturizing, radiant glow, I gave the Sunday Riley CEO Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil a shot!

I love me a good facial oil, and anything with Vitamin C. And I also thoroughly enjoyed using the Sunday Riley CEO Vitamin C Serum. One of the complementary items in the CEO range was the Sunday Riley CEO Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil, and when I bought my trial kit a while ago, a deluxe sample size came with it.

I believe Sunday Riley had the CEO Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil first, before they came out with the Vitamin C serum. It was one of those things I’d been meaning to try for the longest time.

Now that I have, was it worth the wait? 😀

I have lazy skincare days.

So do you – admit it!

The fact also, is that I am lazy about using a mask. In fact, while I had loads of time on my hands during our lockdowns, I barely used any masks at all! Contrast this to a couple of years ago, when I was using a mask practically everyday (and seeing results!)

So, being lazy with my skincare routine and being lazy to use a mask, I decided to go all out and be the ultimate lazy-bum – use an overnight mask! I picked the Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Hydrating Mask with Avocado & Swiss Glacier Water, which I’d had for a while, and want to use up.
