Sharing my thoughts on new Japanese sunscreen formulas! Here are some of my favourites and some, not so much. I've included new formulas as well as ones that were reformulated and re-released this year and last. I didn't review the sunscreens that only went through repackaging but formulas remained the same. Stay cool!

Styling & ProtectionGothamista2023-07-31 | I've tried my share of scalp/hair SPF over the years from powders, drops to multi-purpose body/hair mists. Some worked some not so much, creating a greasy, heavy mess. These are the ones that I want to use everyday because they work like a sgood tyling product with SPF. Love the multifunctionality which makes it easy for everyday use during the Summer. It refreshes my hair and scalp, works like a dry shampoo and texturizing spray as well as protect my scalp and hair from UV! Wins all around.

This gives me extra protection exactly in the areas I need it. I use this ontop of a base layer of sunscreen and has a Color UV Veil technology that prevents it from mixing with your makeup or other layers underneath so that your protection is not affected in anyway or diluted causing patchy coverage. This provides even coverage as I can tell through my UV mirror (in the video demo for the UV mirror, I used the blush on it’s own without an existing base layer of sunscreen so the coverage would be clear). Also it’s resistant in all the ways I need it to be, blush colour lasts at least 8 hours although it’s not budged for over 10 hrs on me, sweat/sebum-resistant and friction resistant. The texture is lightweight and hydrating and it’s buildable. Btw there is one other Cheek UV not mentioned which is more of a highlighter - not my fav. I will be reviewing some of Allies latest sunscreen formulas soon. This is such a great line.
UV filters : Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Mexoryl XL, Uvinul T150, Uvinul A Plus, Tinosorb S
Resistant to sweat/sebum, water & friction Must double cleanse to remove

Mary & May Vegan Peptide Bakuchiol Sun Stick SPF50 PA++++ howl.me/cjMQS6y5IXz This sunstick has a satin finish that’s just right. It will remove shine on areas that need it but won’t hide your skin’s natural light. Weightless texture that blurs and can reapply with impunity without heavyness.
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotic SPF50 PA++++ howl.me/cjMQJO5Ko0H Matte finish as expected, almost powdery on me. Will remove shine and very lightweight texture. Those with dry skin may find it pulls a little during application.
Supergoop! Glow Stick SPF50 PA++++ howl.me/cjMQVsFByZ9 The glowiest of the glowy. Nothing else I’ve tried comes close. Oily skin beware, this is intense and great for dry skin! Smoothest glide on skin for reapplication

Every year, I like to give an update on different treatmemts I am using to care for my scalp. It's been a hard focus of mine since hormonal imbalances from simply aging has caused obvious hair thinning and increased hair loss over the years. Diet and proper scalp care has definitely helped as i continue to explore different treatments that fit. Here are a few tips, devices and tools I'm currently using for my scalp health and hair regrowth.

These are some personal preferences as well as restrictions due to food intolerances that may be blessings (I tell myself) in disguise.
Topical skincare is only a small part of my more holistic approach to well ageing skin which starts with a healthful body and good habits. When my body is out of sorts, it affects my reactive skin. It all boils down to preventing and reducing inflammation in the body or excessive “heat” in TCM terms.
By no means do I have perfect eating habits, I like to eat all the things. But I strive for balance over elimination, except for the things I have to avoid because of allergies and intolerance.
Like for skincare, I like even my food to be multi-tasking. I strive to fill 2 needs with 1 deed as much as possible!

The first time I used this was in the late 1990's, when it was the first and only facial essence of it's kind. Until now, decades later with a sea of formulas inspired by this essence, still nothing comes close. Doing a deep dive into the formula, the benefits and how it's affected my journey to healthy skin!

So I'm sharing with you as simply as I can how I combine, alternate and layer my actives. Please take note that these are suggestions only that may or may not work for your skin. For beginners, always start conservatively. I tend to follow my "skintuition" so sometimes there will be variations to this sequence, and that's ok! Skincare shouldn't be legalistic! And remember, you don't need to use everything! Enjoy, my skin squad!

Here are the formulas that I actually want to use and not only feel great, but also flatter the skin. These are safe for sensitive skin. They contain no fragrance, EO's or alcohol and leave no cast on my skin. As always though, for those with deeper skin tones, swatch first!

I'm sharing with you some do & don't tips for what works for me - body oil cleansers that are strong enough to remove resistant sunscreen but also gentle enough as to not further stress the skin after a day in the sun, and the perfect skin-soothing, Summer gel-cream!

This is a great routine to do before bed - it helps me sleep. Afterwards, I feel relieved, relaxed and somewhat euphoric from released tension and flow.
Learning from TCM experts is so valuable. It's the difference between something that feels nice and something that's transformative. I did charity Gua Sha workshops with YINA and learned so much so just wanted to share valuable insights that will hopefully help!
Contraindications : Avoid abdominal region during pregnancy and also being too aggressive particularly in the Jiang Jing point. Avoid using Gua Sha over sensitive areas, bruised skin, raised bumps, breakouts, scrapes and open wounds. And, always consult with an expert. #guasha

This video is about my favourite Drugstore/Budget-Friendly Vitamin C serums - specifically Ascorbic Acid formulas which are the gold-standard for Vitamin C, and sensitive skin permitting, my first choice.

If you've been confused by what the different coloured bottles specifically target, or what the pink/orange labels mean, this should help you! Also, I'll compare what's different between the former gokujyun formulas and the new 2020 versions. As always, highlighting which ones I prefer, the ones I don't and why. Enjoy!
• Formulas Mentioned • Just fyi, I linked where I personally bought all my new versions and had no problems with my orders last year. However, they told me they’re having alot shipping delays due to Lunar New Year Holidays so be mindful of that if you're considering purchasing through my links. There could be a longer than usual wait time. I’ve also purchased a few times through amazon however, almost every time, I received the older versions of the lotions even if the 2020 versions are pictured. So be very clear with the amazon supplier - most of them will say it’s the same thing, different packaging but we know better!
