Sunscreen is totally important. I’ve never bothered much with sunscreen, unless I knew I was going to be out in the sun. Growing up we had a swimming pool and I always put on (and reapplied) sunscreen while I was outside. I almost never burn but tan easily. I thought everything was just fine but the hyper pigmentation on my forehead says something different entirely! My dermatologist prescribed a retinol A cream for my pigmentation but told me off for my laissez-faire attitude to sun care. That meant I had to find sunscreens that I liked and would wear, so I will be sharing all of those shortly but I also want you to understand the importance of sunscreen, what to look for in one, how they work and how to use them properly. Don’t think that in this harsh Australian sun you can get away with just a little SPF in your moisturiser or foundation either! Please check out this vid from Cora over at Vintage or Tacky explaining all that good stuff…..

[…] one. I am currently loving tinted zinc in light but there is more about that and other options in this post. 2. Red Lipstick Why red? Well you can sheer it down as lipstain, ramp it right up to red or use […]
I’m a bit late to the party… For the second La Roche-Posay sunscreen, can you still use moisturiser with it? And if so, which goes on first?!
Never too late! Chemical sunscreen (like the one you mentioned) should go on clean skin first and be given time to absorb before adding serums, moisturizers or makeup.
Hope that helps, S xx
