Sunscreen - Tumblr Posts
Hello everybody with summer fast approaching here is your regular reminder that:
Everyone needs to wear sunscreen
SPF 50 is pretty much the best protection you can get, an SPF higher than that will have the same effect
Melanin does not protect you from skin cancer
Tanning is caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation
Spending the majority of your life receiving regular large doses of UV radiation without any skin protection is a good way to get skin cancer
Don't use tanning beds, and don't go sun tanning
Wear your fucking sunscreen
Some of my favourite Korean skincare products.
Brands featured: Beauty of Joseon and Purito.
(Not an ad: I have personally purchased and I currently use these products).
As a Black person...wear your sunscreen. i don't know if you know this, but there is a giant ball of literal fire in the sky and you are meat.
me hanging out with black people in the summer: “aye, yall don’t forget to put on sunscreen”

Skin Care
Here are some rules and tips you should follow when you are applying a face mask and other skin care things:
#1 when applying a face mask, you should wash your face first. face masks should be applied to clean skin or it will not work properly.
#2 I cannot stress this enough.... FACE MASKS DO NOT REMOVE MAKEUP. It honestly drives me insane when people say that the product does not remove makeup because honey its not suppose to and you’re suppose to wash your face first.
#3 after you wash your face gently apply the face mask product on your face. if you have never used the product before I recommend doing a patch test on your forearm.
#4 after you are done applying your face mask product and its been removed properly following the directions written on the box or container, you should pat your face dry.
#5 M O I S T U R I Z E YOUR FACE!!!!!!! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Even if its a hydrating mask. I don’t care. Every mask exfoliates the skin so you need to hydrate your skin.
#6 DO NOT PICK AT YOUR SKIN. It leaves scars on your face and will show up as you age.
#7 if you are going outside after you wash your face (you should be washing your face twice a day, once in the morning and once at night) put on some sunscreen. If your makeup says SPF 30 chances of it actually being SPF 30 is very low. This will prevent you from skin cancer, sun spots, faster aging, and wrinkles.
#8 take your makeup off at night. you will get pimples if you don’t.
#9 WASH YOUR PILLOW CASE EVERY WEEK. not washing your pillow case even if you wash your face everyday twice a day and never sleep with makeup on, this could be the reason why you are breaking out. hate to burst everyone’s bubble, but you drool in your sleep and you sweat at night which is why you should be washing your face in the morning.
#10 love your skin. if you don’t like the way your skin looks, talk to a dermatologist or go to an estheticians spa and they will help you. believe it or not there are people out there that really want to help you feel beautiful in your skin so don’t be shy. They will be glad you came to them and asked for help because most of the time when people try to fix their acne or any other derma problem, it actually gets worse.
My Skincare Routine (Dry skin)
Morning
-Cleanser (depends on the vibes)
-Toner (always)
-Hylaronic Acid Serum (everyday)
-Caffeine solution for my under eyes (everyday)
-Moisturizer (everyday)
-Eye cream (if I’m feeling bougie)
-Sunscreen (everyday) 70spf
Night
-Double cleansing (first oil then gel, depending on the vibes)
-Toner (depends on if I double cleansed or not
-Hydralouronic Acid (everyday)
-Moisturizer (everyday)
-Eye cream (again if I’m feeling bougie)
-Sunscreen (yes even at night, I like being cautious)
Depending on the day I could replace my moisturizer and eye cream with a different moisturizer that has retinal in it but I don’t use it too often since I don’t really need it that much. I use it every two months or so.
Thanks for reading but this isn’t my usual kind of post to do. I post more astrology related things. For reference my sun is in Aries, Moon in Virgo, and my rising is in Leo
SILVER let go of my trunks!
The reference is old coppertone advert
anyways take heat waves seriously. heat strokes and heat exhaustion are real. drink water. wear sunscreen. stay covered or in shaded areas if you can. pay attention to your skin - if it’s super flushed and your face is redder than usual, get under some shade and cool down IMMEDIATELY. pay attention to kids and elders too.
I just got a really annoying sunburn, so here’s a list of places that I always forget to put sunscreen. I hope this can help someone else lol
Hair part
Ears
Hands
Lips
Back (get help with this. If you don’t have anyone to help you, don’t wear an open back. It’s not worth it)
They should invent skin that won’t break out if I apply common sunscreens
