    One UU from this morning:

    Ultrasun Family SPF30 100ml WNBA. This was alright but I've got a few issues with Ultrasun's ideals. They say this will still let you tan whilst protecting you from the sun. If you tan, the damage to your skin has been done, so this makes me feel uncomfortable about using their products.

    UU Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels WMBA - I do think they are effective I am just unlikely to purchase these
    UU Crabtree and Evelyn La Source Seaweed Volumising Shampoo WNBA

    Painted my nails in & other stories Seafoam Coast - great colour! I feel like these don't go on as smooth as I would like and am unlikely to get more in future, though the colours are quite unique I have to admit.

    Charles Worthington Diamond Shine Hair Treatment - this is nice but WNBA as I am trying to cut down on the amount of products I use.


    Philip Kingsley Elasticizer 40ml - love this and have done for quite a few years now, I have two 75ml tubes left to use then I will see how I feel about buying again.


    DD needed a new lipbam so I gave her a Malin & Goetz Mojito one and Rodial Stem Cell one, she has one in her blazer for school and one on her bedside table.

    I use Ultrasun and I burn easily but I don't even go pink with them so the UVB protection must be pretty good!

    Looking it up, UVA is the tanning ray apparently (I always thought it was UVB!), maybe what it does is limit the amount of UVA that penetrates your skin so you can still tan but more safely?

    kadison UVB can cause skin reddening, and UVA is the more damaging one. It can cause tanning, which is a result of too much exposure which can lead to premature ageing of the skin, and too much damage can cause skin cancer. I'm sure I've read somewhere that there's no safe way to tan naturally, so I don't feel comfortable about using a product that can allow tanning. I noticed one day when I used this on my face, that there was more pigmentation on my forehead than normal. I don't feel comfortable using a product that allows that to happen. Especially when they say it's a once a day application product. I don't want to take any chances as I've got a number of moles all over my body, I don't want to risk it. But I guess we all have different experiences with products. Sorry to ramble on

    One TA today:

    Bioderma Photoderm Bronz Duo Fluide + Stick SPF50+ 20ml + 2g WNBA. This has no slip to it so it's hard to apply as it causes me to tug at my skin. And the smell is nauseating.

    And a few INs today:

    Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque sample
    Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser sample
    Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser sample
    Ecooking 24 Hour Cream sample
    Origins Mega Mushroom Relief & Resilience Soothing Treatment Lotion sample


    I really want to try the Origins lotion, so I got the pick n mix from FeelUnique to get it to try :)

    No you're not rambling! I also have a lot of moles so I'm careful to use sunscreen, I use the sports one so not sure if that's different, I'll have a look into it.

    I've looked and I can't see any mention of tanning except with the tan activator products...
