What's a good, affordable sunscreen for combination skin that doesn't leave a white cast and isn't harmful to the skin?
Choosing the right sunscreen for combination skin requires finding a balance between protection and avoiding exacerbating oily or dry areas. Combination skin typically features both oily and dry areas, often with an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and drier cheeks. Here's a guide to selecting a sunscreen tailored to combination skin:
Broad-Spectrum Protection: Opt for a sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. This ensures comprehensive protection against skin aging (UVA) and sunburn (UVB).
Lightweight Formulation: Look for a lightweight, non-comedogenic formula that won't clog pores or feel heavy on the skin. Gel-based or oil-free sunscreens are excellent choices for combination skin as they provide adequate protection without adding excess oil to the T-zone.
Matte Finish: Sunscreens with a matte finish help control shine in oily areas, making them ideal for combination skin. They prevent the T-zone from looking greasy while still providing hydration to dry areas.
Oil-Control Properties: Ingredients like silica or mattifying agents help absorb excess oil, keeping the skin matte and shine-free throughout the day. These ingredients are beneficial for combination skin, especially in the T-zone.
Hydration Without Greasiness: While addressing oily areas, it's essential to ensure that the sunscreen still provides sufficient hydration to dry areas without leaving a greasy residue. Look for hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin in the formula.
Non-Irritating Ingredients: Fragrance-free and hypoallergenic sunscreens are less likely to cause irritation or trigger breakouts, making them suitable for combination skin, which can be sensitive and prone to reactions.
SPF 30 or Higher: Choose a sunscreen with an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 30 or higher for adequate protection against UV radiation. Reapply every two hours, especially when exposed to sunlight for extended periods.
Overall, selecting a sunscreen tailored to combination skin involves finding a lightweight, matte-finish formula that offers broad-spectrum protection, controls oiliness, hydrates dry areas, and contains non-irritating ingredients. Experimenting with different products may be necessary to find the perfect match for your skin's unique needs. Consulting with a dermatologist can also provide personalized recommendations based on your skin type and concerns.
The JA books and subsequent woobification of padawan Obi-Wan have people overlooking a key fact, which is the innate ability of all 14 yr olds to immediately lock onto your deepest insecurities and fucking eviscerate you. You look at TCW Obi-Wan's bitchiness and tell me he did not have this ability but dialled up to 11 cause he's also a psychic force-sensitive.
I fully believe padawan Obi-Wan was terrorising Qui-Gon, the reason that man's always running ahead and leaving his padawan behind is because he's avoiding having to explain his life choices to the galaxy's most judgemental teenager. Initiate Obi-Wan is aggressive, padawan Obi-Wan is passive-aggressive.
wanted to practice some more intense angry expressions and what better excuse to further my agenda of giving megumi the emotional catharsis he deserves
#repost• @whatsculture History Class: Tracing the roots of Capoeira. The Afro-Brazilian martial art form incorporates acrobatics, dance, folklore, and music. Two opponents play each other inside a circle (Roda) formed by the other players, who create rhythm for the game by clapping, singing, and playing traditional instruments. It’s the second most popular sport in Brazil and is practiced in different parts of the world today. To understand the significance, we look at how it is a phenomenon born out of migration.
“Capoeira was conceived in Africa and born in Brazil,’’ Mestre Jelon Vieira once said. As a colony of the Portuguese Crown, millions of Africans were shipped and sold in Brazil. There, enslaved Africans shared their cultural traditions, including dances, rituals, and fighting techniques, which eventually evolved into capoeira. Many elements and traditions that would inform capoeira are said to have originated in Angola. At that time, 80% of all enslaved Africans in Rio de Janeiro came from Central West Africa from countries that are now known as Gabon, Angola and both Congos.
People from Angola were prominent among the enslaved Africans who played the game on the streets and squares of Rio de Janeiro, Salvador and other Brazilian port cities at the beginning of the nineteenth century. With many enslaved Africans revolting against slavery, they would soon form communities in villages called quilombos in which they could sustain different expressions of African culture. They used capoeira to defend themselves and resist capture, disguising its martial intent with music, song, and dance.
Capoeira became illegal after the abolition of slavery in 1888. Practitioners were socially ostracised for more 40 years, until the legendary capoeira master, Mestre Bimba, opened the first capoeira school in Bahia in 1932. From there, the martial art would reach all parts of the world. At its core, capoeira is born out of a mix of African and Brazilian indigenous cultures and it represents resistance and resilience 🇧🇷🌍
So I noticed that a lot of the CC looks rather odd on infants and that's because a lot of them don't have any babyfat, and there's something uncanny (although funny!) about an infant with chiselled cheeks. The same goes for toddlers and children - so I made this. This was intentionally made for infants in mind but also works for toddlers and children too, especially the other swatches as they have just a little less babyfat on them. Now your kids can really look like kids! I also included a little blush that adds a natural redness to the face. ♥
hickey's knife super interesting for obvious reasons, but also have you guys ever see some of the other knifes that got fashioned / salvaged from the wrecks.... especially the inuit-made ones....
