👋 Morning crew, happy first day of spring! 🌻

I've been having many convos surrounding sunscreen lately, so I thought I'd *gently* encourage you to make sure you're wearing it every day, rain or shine, 365! Even if you live in a country known for grey skies and rain like me. 🤪

If you're looking for sustainable options, check out REN skincare - they've got you and the ocean in mind with their Clean Screen Mineral SPF 30 sunscreen. Here are some fun facts and tips:

☀️ They spent 6 years working on this product, inside and out... read on to learn more!

☀️ The packaging is made with recycled plastic and is easy to recylce for yet another life. 

☀️ They don't use oxybenzone, avobenzone, or nano-zinc oxide, just zinc oxide in its non-nano form, making it safer for our reefs.

☀️ This non-nano zinc is known for leaving a white cast, making this product a bit tricky for darker skin tones (but I have a tip!)

☀️ I love mixing this sunscreen, the last step of my daily skincare routine, with a guilty pleasure of mine: the ByTerry CC Serum in sunny flash (which comes in a glass bottle!) It helps blend the white cast of this sunscreen with something that matches my skin tone better, so have a play with some liquid or serum-style bronzers and foundations to mix in. 

☀️ Don't forget to use the optimum amount of sunscreen too; you should aim for 1/2 a teaspoon (or the size of a 5p coin for the brits 😎)

🙏 Make sure you wash your face at the end of the day, preferably a double cleanse - check out @skindistrict for some fabulous skincare deets and recommendations - she's influenced me LOADS. 🥰 ✌️
