Skincare Must Haves

Happy Tuesday!
I hope you have some wonderful plans for today. We are in for a super hot day with temps 104'F / 40C #YIKES! I used to like warm days...they were perfect for laying by the pool or on the beach -  a thrilling science fiction novel in one hand and  ice cold beer in the other. #GoodTimes 

But sun worshipping isn't "my thing" anymore. The older I get, the more I care about my skin and more importantly the damage the sun has already done. As someone who laid out in an attempt to tan my pale nordic body I woke up one day and thought, "Maybe it's too late?!" Meaning too much damage had been done. But you know I'm not one to just roll over and accept 'fate' - So now I'm on a mission to both protect my skin from any further damage and also turn back the clock.

​I'm currently doing some personal research on all things skincare. There have been so many scientific advances in the field of cosmetics and skincare lately that it can be very overwhelming...Where do you even start?

(A small sample of my current collection.) I'm also searching Amazon for other highly rated/recommended products.

100 Skincare Must Haves

These are some of the best sellers on Amazon and over the course of the next few months I will be trying vegan  products out and reviewing for you.  

My current (body) sunscreen is   Banana Boat Dry Balance Broad Spectrum Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 50. Gone are the days of greasy, oily sunscreen! This lotion drys to a nice matte finish and leaves your skin feeling silky smooth. I apply this before gardening, hiking or driving. You will need to reapply every two hours, but it is really working so far. (I've been using since about the 3rd of May.)

Looks and feels more like "normal" lotion, not heavy or greasy.

This post does continue affiliate links, and I may receive a small commission of any sales. I only promote the products I use/feel are good values for you.  By clicking the link it doesn't change the price of the product, but it does helps to support the cost of the blog. (So thank you!)

Also thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read my posts. I have a few new book reviews that should be out this week and some new vegan recipes, so do stop in again.
