From my experience it’s hard enough to get guys to wear sunscreen every day in summer, let alone now that we are in winter. The guys I know commonly complain that sunscreen feels too thick and greasy on their skin. Often it’s because they haven’t chosen a sunscreen that’s tailored to their skin type. Guys [...]
.. Don’t put away your sunscreen altogether. As the intensity of the UV rays decreases during the next few months, you may want to lower your SPF rating. But remember that UV rays can still reach us on the cloudiest of days, so it’s important to continue with your sun care routine even as the [...]
So if you’ve read Part 1, maybe you’re (a little) more interested in trying a foundation stick?!
As I mentioned before, foundations sticks are not for every skin type. In particular, they are mostly compatible with skin that’s not extreme – not overly dry or too oily. This eliminates some of us, but not everyone.

Most of us apply sunscreen in the morning. But if we don’t reapply through the day, we are only doing half the job.
The challenge with reapplying sunscreen is when you have make-up on. You don’t need to wash your face come lunchtime and start again. Let’s face it; none of us are really prepared to [...]

For a lot of people, foundations sticks remind them of old-school full coverage theatrical make-up. In contrast, liquid foundations are [...]
Do you wear mineral make-up?
Recently I’ve met a lot of people with a preference for mineral make-up. What interests me is why they’re wearing it. It’s not necessarily because mineral make-up is a star performer in make-up terms. It’s because they feel they’re choosing the healthier make-up option, that mineral make-up is better for their [...]
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the need for eye creams (click HERE).
If you prefer to use an eye cream during the day, ensure it has an SPF. It’s extraordinary how many eye creams don’t include SPF ingredients. Without this, any moisturising benefits you’re getting from the cream are most likely being [...]
Do you apply sunscreen to your lips? Probably not! So do your lip products include an SPF?
With UV levels now ‘high‘ (and we’re only in September), lip products with an SPF are essential in your make-up bag. If your current lip products don’t have an SPF, there’s no need to rush out and buy a whole [...]
