TASTE OF LONDON 2026!

I love a good freebie and my bestie, along with me.

Always a great summer opener!

Not sure I agree with the overselling of animal fats added to everything at the Fire Pit! Otherwise, a good evening out.

BIODERMA SEBiUM KERATO+ PRODUCTS!

*NEW* The Anti-blemish soothing spray with salicyclic acid and Niacinamide for reducing acne marks and redness.

*NEW* The anti-blemish high tolerance gel-cream also with 1.8% salicyclic acid and 10% malic acid ester.

The purifiying cleansing foaming gel: which I already use when travelling for keeping my skin happy as a wash.

I'll let you know how I find these going forward.

OFFICIALLY AWESOME!

It came!

I won't lie. It's smaller than I thought it would be.
I blame fornhis influencing!

Where do I put it? Lol!

AFRO HAIR AND BEAUTY LIVE 2026

After church hang out at the show! Catching and her booth for a hair steaming cap. Love the branding and the friendly staff!

I'll share my goodies later.

Somehow. My hair is always in a protective style at this event!

MINI-SERIES RE-TRY TIZO ULTRA-ZINC TINTED SPF 40.

Second chances are a thing with me.

And we need some mineral sunscreen for visible light protection for hyperpigmentation spots.

What do you think? Should it stay in the rotation for darker spots?

MINI-SERIES CETAPHIL DAILY FACIAL MOISTURISER SPF35

Boasts a lightweight lotion which is oil free?

It settles in well and has the chemical sunscreen ingredients to do the job

Onwards!

MINI-SERIES BEA SKINCARE SPF 50!

Another day, another sunscreen
Formulated in England but made in Taiwan. Black-owned brand.

It's silky and goes on clear. A mainly mineral sunscreen.

Onwards!

ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST!

I really enjoyed this show thorougly. Getting to spend time with my bestie was a bonus!

I really managed to reign in my inner song "Aaron Pierre, that's Mufasa!" And held it together for a picture at the Stage Door after the show. anytime to compare accents!
Glad to see him back in London aka home!

More nights at the theatre please!

Yes, I do wear more than just running clothes. And yes, my medal was in my backpack!

MINI-SERIES SUNSCREEN WINNERS!

This is for darker skin tones and those whonare acne-prone like myself. Some of the thicker mineral sunscreens REALLY broke me out !

The best finishes seem to be the chemical sunscreens but some mineral sunscreen is needed in certain circumstances.

Which ones? Well, most men and women with darker skin tones often get hyperpigmentation from inflammation (acne, eczema, cuts, bruises...) and some from hormonal changes (melasma/cholasma). Rarely things like progressive macular hyperpigmentation rares its head. Pityriasis versicolor from a fungal infection can mean differing skin tones on the back, arms and chest.

For fading and evening out Pigmentation, alongside active treatments, one needs a sunscreen that can block visible light and blue light from screens and indoor lighting.

Yes, indoor lighting!

That is why I've kept some mineral mixed sunscreens for that express purpose.

Hope you enjoyed this series!

MINI-SERIES ALTRUIST SPF 50 SUNSCREEN.

Fragrance-free and non-sticky claims.

It goes on very smoothly. It sinks in clear.

Job done!

Onwards.
