Here’s what I recommended getting:
One of the FEW Mineral sunscreen I stand by is the Suntique I’m Safe for Sensitive Skin. It’s titanium dioxide based. No zinc.
The cast is very minimal. It also has calming ingredients like centella asiatica and aloe leaf extracts.

It has licorice, glutathione and niacinamide to even out pigmentation in the skin to help acne scars and dark spots fade over time.
It also has Pycnogenol to draw in hydration and minimize fine lines

This is why you’re not getting the brand deals you want 😬 A THREAD 🧵 👇🏽
If you’re waiting for deals to come to you, you’re doing it wrong.
Especially if you’re a creator of color because it’s a lot harder for us to be placed in influencer databases and included in campaigns (for a million of different reasons).
things I wish I learned earlier as a gen-Z entrepreneur:
1. finding a good accountant is essential.
ask for referrals. run interviews. the more you consult with before making your final decision, the better understanding you will have of what’s normal vs. what’s not
having your legal paperwork and taxes in order is so important because pretty much everything you do ties to it. even the miles you drive COUNT.
the money you earn, the money you spend—you need to file all of it. everything is important
✨Start using self tanner this summer and thank me later✨
It’s what celebrities (ex: Kelly Rowland & Kerry Washington) use on the red carpet to get that glowy skin on the body
Hides little *imperfections* like scars and KP
Miss @jackieaina talked about this YEARS ago if I recall
Instead of fighting for your life to try to get rid of & lift hyperpigmentation and KP on your body, self tanner makes everything blur in together WITHOUT the sun damage 🥰
I use the Alpharet pretty much everyday (it’s meant to be like that, don’t worry) but I’ll add the BPO if I’m breaking out and it clears up pretty fast
I’ve tried Tretinoin & Differin and I like the clearing serum more than both.
You don’t have to worry about that irritation “adjustment” period because it’s formulated to give similar results to rx minus the irritation
What I don’t like about Rx strength is yes it works but you have to be so careful about using it.
It’s so easy to be wreck your skin barrier and now you’re breaking out and have hyperpigmentation from the dermatitis
