“What is a breeding mount?”

Gender Neutral AFAB Reader

WC: 3.2k

The first thing I noticed about him was his smile and the way his voice echoed through the mudroom. He spoke with such an air of confidence. His carefree attitude could draw you in like a bucktail.

I silently watched the man talk to my father, gripping the railing of the stairs. Under my breath, I muttered a soft prayer, hoping to god the creaky wooden planks beneath my feet wouldn’t give me away.

He wore a flannel button down and a pair of boot cut jeans. The hem was tattered, worn in from years of use. His sleeves were rolled up over his toned forearms. Dirt settled underneath his short nails.

“You’ll start on Monday,” my father said, patting the man on the shoulder. “How’s about I show you the barn?”

The rusted hinges of the front door squealed. The soft thudding of thick heeled boots slowly diminished. I was left by myself in the empty foyer. The mahogany floor creaked beneath my ankles as I stood, rushing to the calendar in my room. Monday was only three days away, and yet it seemed like an eternity.

-

I wiped the sweat from my brow, streaking dirt across my sticky skin. With a soft rap against the wood, I set the broom down. I sighed, chest heaving. A dull ache settled into my muscles. Furrowing my brows, I jutted my hips forward, arching my back in search of relief. Not even a single crack. Defeated, I slumped forward, bracing my elbows on the gate.

“Aye, dinnae think anyone was in here, sorry,” a gruff voice spoke up. I lifted my head from the faded red paint. My eyes locked with deep pools of blue, untamed facial hair, and a confident smile.

He donned a pair of overalls. One strap was undone, hanging loosely off his bare chest. My gaze flicked to the cobweb-clad corners of the barn, hoping he didn’t catch my lingering gaze on his muscles.

“Was gonnae take a smoke break. Hope you don’t mind,” his dirt stained fingers dipped into his pocket, pulling out a carton.

“Won’t mind if you give me one of ‘em,” I said, nodding to the pack. Shaking his head with a smile, he held the pack out to me.

“Deal.” He brought a cigarette to his chapped lips. With his palm, he sheltered his lighter as he ignited a spark. I watched as he held the flickering flame to the end of his cigarette. Small orange embers ignited. He held the flame out, watching as I leaned in close. I felt my face ignite with heat as he held the light up to my cigarette. His tongue stuck out from his lips as he steadied the light, eyes flicking across my flush face.

“You work here long?” He asked, letting the flame extinguish. I pulled away, taking a drag from the cigarette. My eyelids fluttered closed as a wave of giddiness washed over me. My skin buzzed as the nicotine coursed through my veins.

“Ages,” I replied simply. “Nothing like hard labor to distort your view of time.”

“Least I’ll keep these bad boys around,” he grinned, flexing his arms. I glanced away, pursing my lips to quell the rising laughter in my throat. I took another drag of my cigarette, my lips curling into a smile.

Thin white streaks of scar tissue adorned his face. Faint traces of hyperpigmentation blossomed across his lips, no doubt from his smoking. With a soft thud, he dropped his weight onto a bale of hay. His gloved hand patted the space beside him. I hid my ever-growing smile behind my hand as I took another drag. I took a seat beside him, crossing one leg over another.

“You live close then?” He glared at me from the corner of his cerulean eyes.

“Bout five hundred feet that way,” I pointed toward the old farmhouse uphill. His eyes widened, thick brows raising. He quickly rose to his feet, stepping away from the hay bale. He held his hands up, shaking his head.

“I dinnae realize he had a kid. I shouldn’t-“

“I’m not going to tell on you,” I chuckled, tendrils of smoke pouring from my mouth. “Sit,” I nodded toward the bale.

With a huff of air, his shoulders dropped. He stepped forward, bringing the cigarette to his lips. As he inhaled, he sat back down. I watched as he let the smoke pour from his parted lips.

“Y’ scared me. I really need this job.” He leaned forward, resting his forearms on his thighs. The strap of his overalls fell down his shoulder. I grasped the denim between my fingers, tugging it back into place. His gaze followed my fingers before flicking back to my face.

“What’s your name?” I asked.

“John.”

“Take me out to the pub this weekend and I’ll put in a good word for you, ‘kay?”

-

Headlights illuminated the gravel driveway. I tugged my leather jacket over my shoulder. The porch creaked beneath my feet as I stood. I watched as he stepped out of the car. A glimpse of his canines glinted in the dim lighting as he smirked.

“Y’ clean up nice, don’t ye?” He slid his hands into his jeans pockets. I felt a rush of heat flood my face as I watched his blue eyes rake up and down my body. Sure, maybe a pair of shorts this short was a bold choice, but it’d been a while since I’d had a night off of choreing.

“and you don’t smell like manure,” I stepped closer. He smelled of sandalwood and musk. Like a bottle of cologne that’d make you double check your bank account. He reached out, fingertips grazing my sleeve. I pulled away, flashing him a smirk over my shoulder. His head turned, following as I tucked myself into the passenger seat.

“Hurry up, John. I’m thirsty.”

-

“So this cop is shouting after me, flashlight shining everywhere, and my coveralls get snagged on this fuckin’ barbed wire!”

His laugh was melodic, deep and bellowing. And that sweet smile of his, the way his dimples peeked out from his freckled cheeks, had my gaze locked on him.

“So I fall, break the jars of moonshine, and snap my tibia. Cop kept laughing at me the whole damn night in the ER.”

“What was the damage?” he asked, bringing his glass to his plush lips.

“Guy didn’t even bother pressing charges. I think the whole squad just felt bad. I got away with a fine.”

One drink turned into another. My skin felt warm as the booze flowed through my veins. I tucked myself under his arm, glancing at the sea of bodies on the dance floor. A twangy steel guitar sounded over the speakers. The only lyrics I could make out over the static of the vintage sound system was “beer…..truck….good night.”

Whether it was the booze or the way his breath fanned over my bare collar bones, our conversation grew heated. Our voices drew quieter, hoping we wouldn’t catch a scowl from another patron. My eyes flicked to his lips as he took another swig of his drink.

“And she tried getting off me, but her knee when straight into my nuts.” His skin flushed as he recounted the events. “I’m doubled over and I’ve got this naked chick in m’bed ye’ know?”

“But did you finish?” I asked, biting at the inside of my lip. His fingers skated up and down my bare arm.

“Course I finished. What kindae lad d’ye take me for?” He leaned in, narrowing his eyes at me. My tongue darted out, swiping across my dry lips. I glanced down at my lap, pressing my thighs tightly together.

“Come on then. Your turn. Cough something up.” He gripped my shoulder, tugging me closer into his chest.

“I don’t- I don’t know if I have anything.” My eyes squeezed shut as I felt his breath waft over my skin. My knee bobbed as I swallowed back my thoughts, swallowed back my arousal. He laughed that sweet laugh of his and leaned in close. I could feel his stubble lightly grazing against my cheek.

“I know for a fact you’ve got somethin’ in that head with the way you’re bouncing outte yer seat.” He spoke lowly with a honey coated voice. “I don’t scare easy.”

“I scared a guy off once-“ I sputtered, the whiskey getting the better of me.

His blue eyes widened in intrigue. One of his thick eyebrows quirked. His expression of shock soon turned more devious. Those canines of him appeared as a smirk crept across his flushed face.

“Do tell,” he urged, blue eyes flicking to my lips.

“You’ll think i’m crazy-“

“Try me.” His fingers were now running down my side, settling at my hip. I glanced down at his hand, knuckles adorned in silver. Drawing a deep breath through my nose, I turned to face the Scot. Pursing my lips, I stammered.

“I asked him to fuck me on the breeding mount-“

His grip on my hip tightened. His plush lips parted, a low moan escaping from them. He leaned in, abruptly pressing his lips to mine. His tongue slipped from the confines of his lips, sliding across my bottom lip. I parted my mouth for him, moaning at the intrusion. My hand glided over his knee, resting atop his thigh.

His fingers dug into my ass, kneading my flesh in his palms. Hesitantly, I skated my hand up his inner thigh, only to be met with the faint outline of his hardened cock. I felt him twitch under the weight of my hand.

“Johnny,” I mumbled against his lips. He pulled away, half-lidded eyes flicking across my face. “Want you to breed me.”

“Fuck, I promise I will-“ he drew silent, lips parting in a meager attempt at speech. I gripped him through the denim. His hips bucked into my palm. “You’re drunk- we can’t tonight.”

“Johnny!” I whined, throwing my arms around the back of his neck. “Want you now.”

“Gonnae take y’ home and put you to bed.” He rose to his feet, fingers gripping my wrist tight. He tugged me out of the booth, slinging one arm around my hip in a poor attempt to steady me. My boots thudded against the mahogany floor as I stumbled into his broad chest.

“Promise I’ll fill y’up nice and pretty when you’re sober.”

-

Rays of yellow sunlight scattered across the room, filtering through the blinds. As my eyelids fluttered open, a wave of nausea washed over me. I rolled onto my side, craning my head over the bed. Beside the nightstand was a trash can lined with a fresh plastic bag. Sweat ran down my heaving chest as bile spilled from my throat.

“You’re such a sweet young man, John. I knew it was a good idea to hire you,” my mother spoke in a lilted tone. I stepped onto the cold linoleum, lifting an arm to shield my bloodshot eyes from the bright light.

“There they are,” my father said, setting his newspaper down on the table. Johnny, dressed in his clothes from the night before, sat at the table. A bowl of cornflakes sat before him. He glanced up at me, his blue eyes even brighter in the light.

Suddenly, another wave washed over my body. Sweat oozed from my pores. I clasped my hand over my mouth and darted toward the bathroom at the end of the hall.

-

The familiar smell of tobacco drew me toward the barn. The sun was setting on the horizon. Moths fluttered around the flickering lamp hung above the double doors. I tucked my hands into the front pocket of my hoodie. The gravel crunched beneath my feet as I stepped into the barn. Dim yellow lighting illuminated the tetanus-riddled machinery.

“How much of last night do you remember?”

Sitting on top of a pallet of fertilizer was John. A lit cigarette perched between his fingers. He exhaled, expelling thin tendrils of smoke from his parted lips.

“Enough to be embarrassed.” I admitted, shifting my weight onto one foot. He patted the open space beside him. Furrowing my brows, I stepped forward. He reached out, thick fingers wrapping around my wrist. With a soft grunt, he pulled me onto the pallet.

“I’m sorry about all of that,” I sighed, pursing my lips into a thin line.

“Did you mean it?” He grasped the string of my hood, twirling the aglet between his fingertips. I stayed silent, my eyes locked with his. “Wanting to be bred.”

My throat burned as saliva trickled down my trachea. I pulled away, coughing into my sleeve. Tears welled in my eyes, threatening to spill over. One of his arms encircled my torso, gently tugging me closer to his chest

“Sorry, sorry. Didn’t mean to startle.” He cooed, cupping my face with his hand. Heat rushed to my cheeks. My breath hitched as his blue eyes fixated on my lips.

“John-“

“I liked it when y’called me Johnny.” His teeth caught his bottom lip. Condensation gathered on my skin as his warm breath fanned over my face.

“Johnny, don’t do this if you don’t mean it-“ His thumb brushed my lip.

“Mean it? I fucked my fist in your bathroom last night thinking about bending you over that goddamn mount.” His hand slid down the front of my hoodie, settling on the top of my thigh. He kneaded my flesh between his fingers. “Wasted a perfectly good load that could’ve gone in your cunt.”

A dull throbbing sparked in my core. Any thoughts, any hesitation melted into need. A desperate whine fell from my lips. Leaning in, my lips met his in a fevered mess. He pulled me into his lap, hands gripping my ass. I rocked my hips against his. A deep groan rose from his chest as I grinded my cunt against his stiffening cock.

I could feel him throbbing through his jeans. Feel him twitch whenever a noise fell past my lips. His hands guided my hips. My eyelids fluttered closed, clit throbbing with every rut of my hips.

“Want me to fill you up?” He asked, grinding against me. I nodded, incoherent whimpers being my only response.

“Breed you to the hilt- fuck!” He groaned, throwing his head back against the fertilizer.

“Johnny, I need you now,” I whined. My bottom lip began to tremble.

“I gotcha, I gotcha,” he cooed, hooking his arms behind my knees. With a soft grunt, he rose to his feet. I looped my arms behind his neck and nuzzled my face into the crook of his neck.

The weathered wooden floors creaked beneath our weight as he slowly stalked toward the corner of the barn. Cobwebs adorned the corners, glistening in the dim lighting.

“On your feet,” he said with a tap on my ass. He leaned down, easing me onto my shaky legs. His fingers curled into my belt loops, tugging me close. “Please tell me you’re on the pill or something…I don’t want a kid,” he whispered, brows knitting.

“I’ve got the implant. Now shut up and breed me.”

He spun me in his arms. By the time I regained my sense of proprioception, I was being pushed forward toward the mount. It smelled strongly of pheromones and J-lube. My nose crinkled at the potent odor. I propped myself up on my elbows, glancing over my shoulder at the man behind me. He pushed his palm between my shoulder blades, forcing my face into the mount.

He roughly shoved my jeans down my hips. The cold air hit my heated cunt. Two fingers swiped up my core, sliding through my arousal. I pressed my face into the vinyl, muffling the swell of noises that threatened to spill from my chest.

“Ooh, ye want it bad, huh?” He moaned, bringing the sodden digits to his lips. With a soft pop, he withdrew his fingers.

I lifted my head when I heard the faint sound of his zipper. He pushed my face back into the mount, clicking his tongue.

“Might have to tie you down next time.” He grunted. My hips twitched when the head of his cock nudged against my aching clit. He chuckled lowly and began slowly rutting his cock against my core. Every time his cock head caught my clit, I whined. Tears brimmed my eyes. My nails dug into the vinyl, cracking the material.

He pushed forwards, inching his cock inside of me. My cunt fluttered around his length, sucking him in. He groaned, hips jutting forward. His hips shallowly thrusted into me, stretching me out. My eyes fluttered closed, brows knitting as a dull ache sparked in my stomach.

“That’s it, open up,” he groaned. “Poor cunt’s beggin’ for it.”

“Fuck me- fuck me!” I cried out as the pain soon melded into pleasure. The mount creaked, rocking against the decrepit floor with every thrust of his hips.

My body dragged against the sticky vinyl. Drool pooled in the corner of my mouth. A stream of unfiltered pleas and curses fell from my tongue. My thighs quivered, calves burning as my body strained to stay on its toes.

“Johnny, I need your cum,” I whined. He groaned, hips jutting forward with a particularly harsh thrust.

Every drag of his cock against my insides scrambled my already disheveled thoughts. His cockhead nuzzled against my cervix, stretching me to fit his length.

“Ill fill you up so good you’ll be leaking all night.” His palm landed harshly on my ass. I choked out a sob, tears streaming down my blotchy cheeks.

His pace grew faster. The slapping of his thighs against my ass echoed through the dusty barn. My cunt gushed around his cock, squelching with every thrust.

“Fuck, I’m gonna cum-“ he sputtered, landing another smack on my ass. I clenched around his cock, pulling him into his orgasm. A flame ignited in my core when I felt warmth spread through my insides. He flooded me with his cum. Viscous globs ran down my thighs.

And yet he didn’t stop his assault on my cunt. If anything, the mess between my legs invigorated him. He spread my cheeks, blue eyes fixated on the ring of frothy cum and arousal around the base of his cock.

“Gotta make sure it takes,” he groaned. The flames in my stomach spread, tugging my limbs taught. My muscles tensed, cunt clenching around his length. My eyes went unfocused, vision melding into nothing but white.

My voice was strained, incoherent, and drenched in desperation. I choked out a mess of pleas, praises, babbles. Drool dripped from the corner of my mouth. Static washed over my limbs as my nerve endings fired.

“Oh fuck- milking my cock-“ his spoke between heavy breaths. The pace he’d set began to falter, growing erratic as he reached his climax. His hips stuttered, cock twitching as he filled me once more.

His sticky chest heaved as he gasped for air. He groaned as he pulled out. His spent cock hung limply by his thigh.

“So good for me,” he cooed as he tugged my underwear back into place. My brows furrowed at the feeling of his spend soaking into the fabric. He gave a soft pat to my sore cunt before pulling my jeans over my hips.

“Satisfied?”

What's your skincare routine currently?

I actually spent the other week taking stock of how my current routine was working and deciding if I needed to change anything, so I have a lot to say on this

AM:

Wash face with water

(extra step for wintertime) Avène thermal water

Serum with antioxidants and niacinamide: just switched from facetheory Colloidal-C Anti-Redness Toner, which I got in hope of reducing redness (did nothing for me) back to facetheory’s Cera-C Pore Reducing Toner, which actually makes my skin look great. It has 5% niacinamide and a vitamin C derivative, which is what I want – I just would like extra perks (anti-redness). An alternative I’m considering is the Isntree Onion Newpair Gel cream.

(extra step if my skin is feeling very dry i.e. what I use during winter) hydrating serum: I’ve just finished Avène Hydrance Serum which I found very hydrating though too light weight (i.e. not good for winter for me) and honestly it lasted so little that I won’t buy it again. My go to instead is snail mucin: Mizon’s Snail Repair Ampoule (best formula but not so much product, what I’m currently using); or COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Essence (best bang for your buck, though my pump was really bad)

Alpha-arbutin: most recent addition to my skincare & it seems to be making a difference when it comes to discoloration (PIE). I’m using Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum, mostly because this was the only product I could find here in Norway.

Caffeine for my undereye: I’m using The Inkey List Caffeine Eye Cream – while I can say it’s infinitely better than what The Ordinary offers (because why would you use a dropped for something that goes around the eyes!!), I can’t tell if I’m seeing results or not, despite using it for almost three months. Maybe?

Moisturizer: Eucerin 5% Urea Repair, my holy grail of all time. I buy this by the litre. Since I entered my mid-20s, my skin has turned dry. Combined with drier winters and the heating I have to put on to survive winter, this is the only thing that makes my skin stay intact.

Sunscreen: probably controversial, but I actually don’t wear sunscreen everyday, as the amount of light I get is ridiculous (though I do in the summer or if there is snow). Over the past year, I tried several ones and my top two choices are Beauty of Joseon Sun Relief (cannot fault a single thing and I found it to be good value for money based on how long it lasted me) and Isntree Onion Newpair Sunscreen (jury is out on whether the onion extract actually helps me, but I found the texture to be perfect for me and it actually ensures I apply a proper amount since it’s not too runny)

Dr.Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment: amazing!! This has been so far the only thing that helped with redness. I haven’t worn foundation in a year and it’s only because of this. I don’t even think it’s that expensive because I spent 30£ for a 50 ml jar which lasts me six months of daily use. Love it.

PM:

My routine is the following:

Double cleanse: I’ve been liking a lot the Beauty of Jonseon Cleansing Balm – so far the best cleansing product I’ve tried. Micellar water is a no for me, as I don’t like using cotton pads. Oils are mostly ok as an alternative, with iUnik Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil being my failsafe (but it doesn’t remove 100% of my mascara).   Next, I use a foaming cleansing gel. My go-to used to be Neutrogena Clear & Defend, but it keeps being sold out, so I’m now using  CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser. It works fine. My main criteria here is price tbh.

facetheory Exaglow serum: the daily base, with tranexamic acid, liquorice root, and a vitamin c derivative, this in combination with whatever active follows has helped me reduce my hyperpigmentation so so much

An active (see below)

Moisturizer: Eucerin Urea repair, again.

Actives is when things get more complicated, because I rotate weekly between (combinations of) them

Differin (adapalene): game changer, I tolerate it very well and I recently increased it to three times per week  + Azelaic acid: I love it and over the years I tried so many different products (available in Europe). I find that for me 10% works just as well as 20%. Usually, a higher price tag gets you better texture (i.e. less grainy) but not better results. Isispharma Metroruboril was very smooth, but a more basic one works just fine for me – hence why I keep going back to The Ordinary’s 10% one. It’s not an area where I feel like I should be spending a lot.

Kojic acid: I’m using Dermaceutic’s Radiance, which works fine in combination with my overall routine. + Retinol: bit of a controversial combination, but because I’ve been using retinols for so long, this works fine. I’m using A313, which is v gentle. I bought it in Paris and it has a too thick texture in my opinion, so once I finished the tube I’ll go back to my fave L’Oreal Revitalift (amazing fragrance, great texture, very hydrating too)

An exfoliant: while some of my products have small percentages of lactic acid in it, so I never felt the need to have a dedicated exfoliating step up. However, I thought I could benefit from it and started using  facetheory’s Glycolacsal which has glycolic acid (8.5%), salicylic acid (1%) and lactic acid (0.5%).  I use it twice a week and it’s really good.

In addition to all of this, twice a week I do a face mask with benoxyl peroxide in the shower which helps tons to keep acne at bay BUT is infinitely better than using the cream, which has bleached all of my towels. The cream used to be a must in my routine but now that overall my acne is under control, I don’t need to use it as often.

This ended up being extremely long, but I love skincare and I feel like I learnt so much about my own skin and how to work with it and what products work in the past few years. I’m testing new things but in a calculated manner. And I don’t know. Skincare is nothing static and the whole process of figuring things out can be fun (and necessary).

[attapullman]

Any sunscreen recs for oily skin that’s not pore clogging, clogged pores are so shitty and so many sunscreens do that..no wonder nobody wants to wear it, the ones are also pretty expensive (from what I’ve researched) ❤️

Hello, I'm entering my skincare influencer phase again 😂 if only I still got PR

Korean sunscreen is going to change your life. Buy it directly from their website or Stylevana is a reputable retailer and always has deals. Can't tell you the last time I paid full price for anything K Beauty. The shipping time is horrendous, so stock up (I usually stock up twice a year and buy 2-3 sunscreens at a time).

These sunscreen are insanely affordable at about $15-20 each! And they'll last you a few months.

The three I rotate between (all SPF50++) that have kept me sunburn free and leave my oily skin not a disgusting mess are:

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun

Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel

SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum

Wearing sunscreen will not only help with avoiding sunburn, but can also help with diminishing dark spots, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation that exposure to sun unprotected can cause.

And if you think I'm kidding - I'm almost 30 and my skin looks younger than when I was 23. My derm is shocked at the results of sunscreen and proper hydration.

[tteokdoroki]

Benefits of wearing Sunscreen

Wearing sunscreen provides a multitude of benefits for your skin and overall well-being. Here are some significant advantages:

Guarding Against Harmful UV Rays: Sunscreen acts as a protective shield, effectively blocking harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. It ensures defense against both UVA and UVB rays, known for causing skin damage, sunburns, premature aging, and an elevated risk of skin cancer.

Preventing Painful Sunburns: Sunburns can be both distressing and detrimental to the skin. Sunscreen plays a crucial role in preventing sunburns by absorbing and reflecting the sun's UV rays, thereby minimizing the skin's exposure to them.

Lowering the Risk of Skin Cancer: Prolonged exposure to UV radiation escalates the likelihood of developing skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. By consistently using sunscreen, you can significantly diminish this risk.

Slowing Down Premature Aging: UV rays are culprits of premature aging, manifesting as wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. Shielding your skin from these harmful rays with sunscreen aids in maintaining a youthful appearance and overall skin health.

Promoting a Balanced Skin Tone: Sunscreen helps in averting uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation triggered by sun exposure. It actively reduces the appearance of dark spots and blemishes, contributing to a more even complexion.

Shielding Sensitive Skin: Individuals with sensitive skin benefit from sunscreen due to its protective layer, which minimizes irritation and redness caused by sun exposure.

Mitigating Photosensitivity Reactions: Certain medications and skin conditions heighten the skin's sensitivity to sunlight, resulting in photosensitivity reactions. Sunscreen plays a pivotal role in alleviating these effects, enabling individuals to enjoy outdoor activities without adverse responses.

Supporting Overall Skin Health: By acting as a barrier against harmful UV rays, sunscreen fosters the well-being of your skin and helps maintain its natural functions, such as temperature regulation and protection against infections.

Guarding Against Sun-Induced Eye Damage: Applying sunscreen near the eyes or using sunscreen-infused sunglasses offers vital protection against conditions like cataracts and other sun-induced eye issues.

Alleviating Sun Allergy Risks: For individuals prone to sun allergies or polymorphic light eruption (PMLE), sunscreen provides substantial relief by minimizing the skin's exposure to UV rays that trigger these reactions.

Remember always to apply sunscreen properly and regularly, opting for a suitable SPF level for your skin type, and reapply it every few hours or after swimming or sweating. Complement sunscreen use with other sun-protective measures, such as seeking shade during peak sun hours and donning protective clothing and hats when outdoors.

Here's a list of sunscreens I loveeee:

Neutrogena Invisible Daily Defense Face Sunscreen + Hydrating Serum SPF 60+

EltaMD UV Daily Face Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide, SPF 40 Facial Sunscreen

Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion

Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray

A-Z Cheaters Guide to Facial Oils

Image Credit: Kelly Sikkema on Unsplash

I put together this quick guide with some basic information on single-source oils used in skincare. This is not a comprehensive list of all oils used in skincare, just a list of those commonly used as single-source oils. Some oils have more abundant information than others.

As a review, single-source facial oils are used to add moisture and restore skin's natural barrier. To use, you can add a few drops to your favorite moisturizer and mix in your hands prior to application or you can use oils on their own. Simply put a few drops in your palm to warm, then apply a thin layer to skin.

Some of these oils are quite common and can be found in your average grocery store. Others might only be available from specialty retailers, health food stores, and the like. Remember to check and make sure whatever you're buying is organic and has no additives.

Say Goodbye to Dark Circles: How Eye Masks Can Transform Your Look

Understanding the Causes of Dark Circles and Puffiness

Many people struggle with dark circles and puffiness under their eyes. Their presence can have a significant impact on their appearance and self-esteem. Therefore, understanding the causes of these common issues can help individuals take steps to address and minimize their effects. From lack of sleep and stress to genetics and aging, various factors contribute to dark circles and puffiness, but you can make informed choices about how to effectively treat and manage these concerns to look and feel their best. https://go.renpho.com/renpho-blogs-eye-mask-eyebags

Lack of Sleep and Fatigue

Lack of sleep and chronic fatigue can have significant negative effects on both our physical and mental well-being. Physically, it can weaken the immune system, making us more susceptible to illnesses and infections. It can also result in weight gain or difficulty in maintaining a healthy weight due to disrupted metabolism and hormonal imbalances.

Genetics

In addition to lifestyle causes, dark circles and puffiness under the eyes can be influenced by genetics. The traits of thinner skin and less fat padding under the eyes can be inherited from parents, making an individual more susceptible to developing undereye issues.

Aging

Aging can contribute to the development of dark circles and puffiness under the eyes in several ways. Firstly, the skin naturally becomes thinner and loses elasticity as we age. This thinning makes blood vessels more visible, resulting in the appearance of dark circles.

Dehydration

Dehydration occurs when the body loses more water than it takes in, leading to a range of health issues including dry and dull skin. To address dehydration, it is crucial to drink an adequate amount of water daily, ideally 8-10 glasses.

Sun Exposure

Exposure to the sun can significantly impact the delicate undereye area. Harmful UV rays can lead to the production of extra melanin, resulting in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and the appearance of dark eye circles. This is why it is crucial to protect the undereye area from sun damage.

Do Eye Masks Help with Puffiness and Dark Circles? 

Eye masks can offer temporary relief for puffiness and dark circles under the eyes, though their effectiveness may vary depending on the specific causes of these concerns. Chilled or infused eye masks, such as those containing cucumber or aloe vera, can help reduce puffiness by constricting blood vessels and soothing the skin.

In the perennial quest for a revitalized appearance, conquering the persistent foe of dark circles becomes an art. Enter the realm of transformative skincare, where the humble eye mask emerges as a silent hero. Crafted with precision, akin to the sophistication of a Renpho Scale, these masks redefine the narrative around tired eyes. https://go.renpho.com/smart-scale-20-24

The orchestration of this skincare symphony commences with a meticulous dance of botanical extracts, antioxidants, and peptides. These ingredients, carefully curated in the fabric of the eye mask, blend seamlessly to banish shadows and breathe life into fatigued skin. Picture the delicacy of a spa experience, yet fortified with the mechanical finesse reminiscent of a skincare Massage Gun. The gentle vibrations mimic the hands of an expert masseuse, stimulating blood circulation and bidding farewell to the weariness that often manifests as dark circles. https://go.renpho.com/collection-massage-gun-24

This transformative journey doesn't conclude without a nod to the realm of beauty rest. An advanced breed of eye masks, often dubbed as Sleep Masks, not only shields your eyes from ambient light but also employs cutting-edge technology to enhance the overnight repair process.

In this fusion of innovation and indulgence, eye masks stand as emissaries of change, promising a radiant, fatigue-free visage with every wear.
