Most stuff about diet and skin is absolute BS, but one thing food absolutely can do is royally fuck up the skin barrier on your lips.

These kinda glycerin-forward balms are such versatile products.

Great for super dry lips with a little petroleum jelly on top.
Great for dry eyelids. Instantly softens hard, rough, or flaky skin.

I wish we could get giant tubs of Aveeno balm in Australia but alas we only get these 75g tubes.

me to other people: hot water is bad for your skin, you should have lukewarm showers 🤓

me in the shower: 🔥🔥🔥🧖🏼‍♀️🔥🔥🔥

Sunscreen O'Clock!

This Australian one has a mild tropical masking fragrance, and a satin finish when fully dry. Make sure you don't get it in your eyes though!

This is definitely one I'd recommend if you see it on sale.

Any similar products in EU/US will have a different formula.

Had a dream about finding packaged foods made with allulose in Australian stores and being so excited about it.

A clear sign of my special interest in cosmetic formulation evolving into a special interest in food formulation.

Some hand sanitisers seem to have way more denaturant than others.

Surely they don't need that much Bitrex in the alcohol for it to be legally denatured?

I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and had to go use mouthwash to get the bitter taste off my inner lip!

That seems excessive.
