We've recently experienced a short heatwave in the UK. If you're from here, you probably noticed it. If not, you might not be aware. I'm mentioning this mini pre-summer spell (four sunny days in Somerset with temperatures hitting around 24 degrees) partly because as a Brit, I have a habit of discussing the weather. More…

I'm testing out a new name for my old monthly favorites segment. The idea is to highlight the top beauty products each month. After trying, researching, and applying various products, I've picked the ones that really stood out.
In the past, I used titles like Most Used or What Worked. Now I'm trying 5 Best Beauty…
This is the third issue in my sunscreen guide, and it’s the one that seems to frustrate people the most: How do you reapply sunscreen over makeup without ruining it?
I've got two great solutions for you. But first, let’s be real—if you're in a situation requiring full makeup, you probably won’t be in direct sunlight…
Press play to see which beauty products I've been using the most this month. For those who can't watch the video, maybe because you're sneaking a read while at work, feeding your baby in the middle of the night, or catching up on the train without headphones, I've got you covered with a spoiler list…
If you're looking for an effective yet affordable face moisturizer, CeraVe's Moisturising Lotion might just be what you need. It's light, hydrating, and thoughtfully created, making it a good match for sensitive, itchy, or very dry skin, though it works well for anyone.
