Every now and then, when I have built up a box full of empty product bottles, I like to go through them all and post my final thoughts. I planned to do this sooner, but it turns out I only ever get around to doing this every six months or so. Multiple moves and a home purchase have taken up…

Sunscreen is super important and a vital part of a good skincare routine. But finding a good one is hard. It’s even harder when you have sensitive skin that tends to break out and get oily. This sunscreen moisturizer by Josie Maran is good. Very good. It’s also a pretty good value, at $32USD for 2oz, or 60mL. I look…
