[ Review ] Smith Total Sunscreen

 

Product Description

Protect your skin regularly with this lightweight, chemical-free sunscreen. Smith Total Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ effectively protects against UVA, UVB, and infrared rays while shielding against collagen damage, a major cause of wrinkles and uneven skin tone. Suitable for daily use.

I try not to open too many sunscreens at once, so I only started using Smith Total Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ after finishing my Cell Fusion C Laser UV Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ and P.Calm Water Barrier Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++. 

The brand, Smith Skin is a Thai brand developed by dermatologists, and focused on hypoallergenic, gentle and effective formulas.

Smith Total Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ was on my must-buy list, and I asked my husband to get it for me during his trip to Bangkok, Thailand. Thai sunscreens are known for their lightweight texture and strong UV protection, making them perfect for hot and humid weather.

Another sunscreen he brought back from Thailand was the 28 Nature & Pure Protection UV Cut Aqua Sunscreen SPF50+ PA+++, another popular Thai sunscreen that promises broad-spectrum protection with a lightweight, aqua-based formula suitable for everyday use, however, it wasn't the best fit for me.

Lets delve down to Smith Total Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++

[ Review ] Bondi Sands Thirsty Skin Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum

 

Product Description

Made to quench thirsty skin (read: skin that feels dry, right or ‘squeaky’ with flaky patches or peeling), the Thirsty Skin Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a boon for all dehydrated skin types. Brimming with hyaluronic acid, a humectant that pulls moisture into skin from its surroundings as well as antioxidant-rich algae extract, this dew-boosting formula intensely hydrates skin, locks in moisture and leaves skin feeling soft, supple, plump and perky. Totally safe for use on sensitive skin and made to dance well with blemish-prone complexions, this serum won’t clog pores or irritate with any artificial fragrance.

If you’re dealing with dehydrated skin that feels tight, looks dull, and struggles to hold onto moisture, a hyaluronic acid serum can be a true skin saviour. Unlike dry skin, dehydrated skin lacks water, which often makes fine lines more visible and causes makeup to sit poorly. As someone with combination skin and dehydrated surface myself, keeping my skin well-hydrated without overwhelming it is always a priority.

I purchased the Bondi Sands Thirsty Skin Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum during my last trip to Perth, when my skin was constantly challenged by the scorching daytime heat and air-conditioning at night. The constant temperature changes left my skin feeling tight and in need of extra hydration. 

Wanting to try Australian skincare, I picked up this serum from Chemist Warehouse, especially since hyaluronic acid has always worked well on my skin. This also marked my first foray into the Bondi Sands brand which is said to be packed with Australian natural botanicals and powered by science backed ingredients.

Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin, helping to instantly plump, smooth, and rehydrate dehydrated skin layers. A well-formulated hyaluronic acid serum can improve skin elasticity, support the skin barrier, and restore that healthy, supple glow.

[ Review ] Nature's Organic Sense Argan Crystal Oil

 

Product Description

Nature's Organic Sense Argan Crystal Oil contains essential argan oil, meadowfoam seed oil, and camellia oil which deeply nourishes and retains moisture for each strand of hair giving hair a healthy shine without weighing the hair down. It leaves no residue and makes brittle hair stronger, while repairing it.

How To Use :

Put 3 to 4 drops and massage on to clean, damp hair focusing on hair ends & blow dry as desired

Argan oil, often referred to as “liquid gold,” is a plant oil extracted from the kernels of the argan tree native to Morocco. Traditionally used for both culinary and beauty purposes, argan oil has gained global recognition in the haircare world for its lightweight yet deeply nourishing properties. Rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamin E, it is prized for its ability to condition and protect without weighing the hair down, making it suitable for a wide range of hair types.

When it comes to hair care, argan oil works on multiple levels. Its high content of oleic and linoleic acids helps to moisturise dry, brittle strands, improving softness and manageability over time. Vitamin E supports a healthier scalp environment while enhancing shine and reducing the appearance of frizz and flyaways. 

Argan oil also forms a light protective layer over the hair shaft, helping to minimise damage from heat styling, UV exposure, and environmental stressors. With regular use, hair appears smoother, glossier, and more resilient which is one of the key reasons argan oil remains a staple ingredient in serums, hair oils, masks, and leave-in treatments.

I received a complimentary Nature's Organic Sense Argan Crystal Oil 10ml with 2 other hair care products after signing up for a hair treatment package at a hair salon. It came in timely just as when I was leaving for my Perth trip last year. 

I have previously emptied Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil, Kahina Giving 100% Organic Argan Oil, M.A.D Minerals 100% Pure Essential Argan Oil and Mark's Hill MiracOILicious Moroccan Argan Oil and most worked well for the hair and body.
