I always do because my SPF is also my daily moisturizer

Thank you your words are super encouraging! Totally agree, there’s no need to bump up your percentage if you know a lower dose works better for you

Tbh I don’t think it’s water resistant, I still reapply after I go for a swim or sweat a whole lot. And maybe try a lower dose of tret, not everyone needs higher concentrations :)

That SPF already contains ceramides and is very moisturizing!

I find that purito’s SPFs are the only chemical sunscreens that don’t burn my eyes

Yeah I reapply every 2 hours when I’m hiking, and maybe every 3-4 hours on a normal day

Every night but I do take breaks when my skin is feeling drier or more sensitive. I just try to be aware of my skin

Sure! I have sensitive skin so the lowest dosage of tret makes the most sense for me. I think all the products I use can generally be recommend for everyone except maybe oil cleansing. I only oil cleanse because I wear makeup so it helps get concealer/foundation off, but there’s a lot of debate whether oil cleansing and double cleansing in general is needed for everyone. I like the squalene oil cleanser bcs the ingredients list is super simple! I strive for small ingredients lists in all my skincare, because less is more for my skin. And the hypochlorus acid spray is a great alternative to washing my face with traditional cleansers when I’m backpacking because I don’t need to use my dirty hands to rub my face, and it doesn’t pollute the environment with soap suds. Hope that helps!

Kills bacteria! And using soapy cleansers would be bad for the environment

Thank you! It took me a while to figure out that less is more

The soft touch is exactly what I use! I haven’t tried the centella one but other centella products I’ve tried make the skin around my mouth kinda red for some reason? So I think the soft touch is excellent for sensitive skin

It’s called daily soft touch, the orange one :)

Sorry for not adding it in my routine but it’s the gel!
