Face-Off! Mineral Foundation

Whenever I wake up with a few red marks on my cheek or a fresh pimple, I usually feel much better after putting on a dab of mineral concealer. From a psychological point of view, it helps a lot to “mitigate“ acne and other skin rushes. However, as much as I like covering up my flaws, I also had to learn (and it took me quite a while), that it’s even more important to let my skin breathe as much and as often as I can, especially while I’m at home and don‘t have to see anybody. Exaggeration is never a great idea.

Pick Your Poison! A Sunscreen Week

Hi friends!

Yes, I‘m still alive! And I‘m back! A long time has passed since I posted my last article. I’ve been very, very busy in the last weeks, and I feel a bit guilty about letting down my readers for such a long time. But now I‘m here – with good news!

It’s that time of year: Everyone of us seems to be looking for that perfect sunscreen that doesn’t give us that typical white goth chick look, is safe to use on our skin and won‘t poison our whole organism or aquatic life. Also, the ideal product has to be easy to spread and shouldn’t make us break out. Nobody of us wants to have a face full of pimples! In addition, the cream, lotion or emulsion has to absorb well without leaving our skin shiny as a bacon rind and, if possible, wear nicely under makeup. That‘s what comes to my mind right now, but I‘m sure you have some more thoughts to add to this wish list!
