About-face.

If you didn't hear already, here's a new ingredient in sunscreen on the shelves. So before you stock up for the last bit of summer and fall (yes, you should wear sunscreen in September and beyond) here's what you need to know.

Bemotrizinol is a broad-spectrum chemical filter that absorbs both UVA and UVB radiation. It can be found under the brand name Parsol Shield. Broader availability follows in 2027.

If you're looking to restock your sunscreen supply, here are the three sunscreens by Dermalogica I always keep in rotation, because they each solve a different problem:

Invisible Physical Defense (Mineral SPF 30)
My go-to for sensitive, redness-prone skin. Zinc oxide, no fragrance or chalky finish. It layers beautifully under makeup.

Porescreen Mineral Sunscreen (Mineral SPF 40)
SPF protection that doubles as a pore-blurring primer. If sunscreen has ever felt like "one more step," in your morning routine, this cuts it down to one.

Bio-Lumin C Heat Aging Protector (Chemical SPF 50)
SPF 50 + a vitamin C punch, so you're blocking new damage and fighting oxidative stress at the same time.

Head to my blog if you want to dig deeper into sunscreen and it's vital role skincare. It's linked in the comments below.

Things I find kinda chic as an integrative esthetician.

Inflammation goes up and barrier function goes downthe moment your nervous system feels unsafe. No product can out-argue that.

This is why I read how someone's holding their body before I ever touch their skin. Regulate first, then the skin follows.

Dermalogica’s Plump Peel x Nanoneedling ✨

💫Plump Peel promotes cell turn over while it hydrates dry and dull skin.

💫Nanoneedling is microneedling’s baby sister. Instead of needles it uses tiny cones that push skin cells apart letting products pe*****te deeper.

Together you get glowy “plumped” skin resulting in better texture with NO downtime ✨✨

You can see in the before and after photo the change of texture after one treatment around her eyes and mouth. 👏🏻👏🏻

$100 when added to any facial.

Happy Valentine’s Day!❤️

Energetically having a “full cup” allows us to love those are around us that much more.
