The advantage of being synthetic is that it has a more consistent quality, fewer impurities and an even lower heavy metal content than Mica (not that Mica's heavy metal content is high). If one thing is for sure, it's that the Bliss Block Star Tinted Face Sunscreen makes an excellent summer travel companion. A PEG-modified self-emulsifying crosslinked silicone elastomer surfactant that helps water to mix nicely with silicone oils, aka a water in silicone emulsifier.
I haven’t heard the song in forever, and I gotta say, it resonates differently at 45 than it did at 24. So, not only is it an SPF and viable foundation option, but it's also a primer; wear it on its own as your daily sunscreen or under your favorite makeup products for a smoother, shine-free finish. These mineral ingredients are sometimes referred to as physical sunscreens or physical blockers, although that’s not a factual representation of how they work. While wearing SPF should be a year-round habit, it's especially important to prioritize applications in the coming months since sun damage is one of the leading culprits of premature aging. It can also be used as a heat generating agent in water-less formulas as it has an instant heat-generating chemical reaction with water.A really multi-functional helper ingredient that can do several things in a skincare product: it can bring a soft and pleasant feel to the formula, it can act as a humectant and emollient, it can be a solvent for some other ingredients (for example it can help to stabilize perfumes in watery products) and it can also help to disperse pigments more evenly in makeup products. The scent of lavender is famous for having calming and relaxing properties and some smallish scientific studies do support that.
If you have spotted ethylhexylglycerin on the ingredient list, most probably you will see there also the current IT-preservative, phenoxyethanol. A bit of a sloppy ingredient name as it covers not one but three pigments: red, yellow and black iron oxide. Founded in 1996 in New York City's Soho, Bliss ignited the modern spa revolution and championed skincare as self-care before it was a trend.It can solubilize some commonly used UV-filters like Oxybenzone or Avobenzone and it can also help to increase the SPF rating of sunscreens. It’s a physical sunscreen, and, like all of the items in Bliss’s skin care collection, this tinted mineral sunscreen is cruelty-free. Beyond being a suitable base for makeup overtop, the tinted sunscreen is infused with blueberry, acai, and green tea extracts that prevent free radicals from harming elasticity in the skin, while rosa canina fruit oil balances out excess oil production in the T-zone. It means I will have to keep trying a whole slew of sunscreens made for the US market and I know I will get frustrated and have a lot sunscreens I will be pawning off on Dear Husband because he’ll wear any slimy, sticky, gooey gunk on his face. One of my most cherished learnings from my work at Kiehl’s, and my favorite of the brand’s many wisdoms, was that it’s essential to wear sunscreen even on cloudy, seemingly sunless days.

While both were 61 when the adjacent photo was taken, a scientific study of Susan’s skin at Case Western Reserve University showed an 11-year age difference — Susan has extreme hyperpigmentation (sun spots), deeper wrinkles and degradation in skin elasticity.
