new year, new me!
no but, can you imagine? el oh el. do i even have resolutions? i think you're supposed to set them in the end of the year just gone. my resolutions would be the same regardless of the date, though: exercise more, get stable housing, drink more water, journal more.
i'm starting the year off with new sunscreen. even though the sunscreen i normally wear works very well, it can be very greasy and i end up looking dipped in oil after one reapplication. seems to be a problem with sunscreen and my skin generally, so i've stuck with cancer council moisturising sunscreens since they seem to leave my skin better than they found it and are incredibly effective. the one i tried this morning is the water resistant daily moisturiser [link] and what i can comment on after an hour of use is that, as promised, it dried down matte. which on my oily skin is basically a satin finish. my skin also didn't react with itching or flushing or burning, which is unsurprising as cancer council products tend to have fairly gentle formulations.
i only applied it to my face, and just used my regular sunscreen for the rest of my neck and body since the face tubes are naturally a bit pricier than the bulk bottles and i don't care so much about the shine.
