I’ll be trying the Keep it Simple moisturizer.
I have been checking sunscreens now prior to purchase and there has been a lot of products filing to meet standards. I google reviews but not on the product website for information,
I have been checking sunscreens now prior to purchase and there has been a lot of products failing to meet standards. I google reviews but not on the product website for information,
I remember reading a report about SPF in some products not being as high as was specified and I was shocked, some friends were not and were saying that those companies do not need to be obligated to deliver what they advertise but I do not agree. Skin care and SPF are serious items.
Wholeheartedly agree seeing we have such high rates of skin cancer in Australia. It’s not a trifling matter!
On my wishlist Swisse bakuchiol serum…Ella Bache retinol serum sounds so fab too
I want to try Burt’s Bees Hemp Lip Balm so badly! Bring it on!!
I still love my Lady Jayne TanglePro.
