About this deal

Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted. It also helps to stabilize oil-water mixes (emulsions), though it does not function as an emulsifier in itself. A fatty (the good, non-drying kind of) alcohol that makes your skin feel smooth and nice (emollient), helps to thicken up products and also helps water and oil to blend (emulsifier). It is a polymer (created from repeating subunits) molecule and has different molecular weight and thus different viscosity versions from water-light to thick liquid. It is a super versatile polymer (molecule from repeated subunits) and when it comes to cosmetics, it is often referred to as microbeads.

According to their info, this combination can balance out undesirable tones in the skin, making it a popular choice for brightening products and highlighters.

Even though this is actually meant to be a moisturiser, I 100% think this works as a great primer too (I guess that's why it's a 2 in 1). Some may not know this but there was a previous version of this Olay product in the same bottle but with different branding and that my friends was my first moisturiser at aged 11 given by mum with a measly but not entirely ineffective Spf 15. Sunscreens containing Titanium Dioxide are often hard to spread on the skin and they leave a disturbing whitish tint.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if it reflects or absorbs, Titanium Dioxide is a pretty awesome sunscreen agent for two main reasons: it gives a nice broad spectrum coverage and it's highly stable. But being versatile means that polyethylene does not only come as scrub particles but also as a white wax. I love anything that says it will 'blur' my skin as those kinds of products usually work really well for my skin type.

I don't feel guilty putting this on because it's formulated to not clog the pores and it has vitamins in it too, so it feels like it fixes your skin whilst you're wearing it.

All in all, Titanium Dioxide is a famous sunscreen agent and for good reason, it gives broad spectrum UV protection (best at UVB and UVA II), it's highly stable, and it has a good safety profile. Mainly adults with ketoprofen-sensitivity and children with sensitive skin are affected, so if you have a small kid, it is probably better to use octocrylene-free sunscreens. It is particularly common in cleansing balms and stick-type makeup products due to its ability to add body, hardness and slip to these formulas. Regular sized Titanium Dioxide also has a great safety profile, it's non-irritating and is pretty much free from any health concerns (like estrogenic effect worries with some chemical filters). Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page.According to famous dermatologist, Leslie Baumann while tocopheryl acetate is more stable and has a longer shelf life, it’s also more poorly absorbed by the skin and may not have the same awesome photoprotective effects as pure Vit E. The study was not done with real people on real skin but still - using a good sunscreen next to MP containing products is a good idea. It’s definitely a smart thing to avoid with sensitive skin (and fragrance of any type - natural is just as allergic as synthetic, if not worse!

Face Base - Let's start with my favourite product from the range, the Hydration + Flawless Blur 2 in 1 Base/Moisturiser.The cosmetic's industry is trying to solve the problem by combining avobenzone with other UV filters that enhance its stability (like octocrylene, Tinosorb S or Ensulizole) or by encapsulating it and while both solutions help, neither is perfect. I haven't really spoken about my latest skin care routine for quite some time but I thought I'd touch on some new exciting products I’ve been trying out.
