I have—it happened during a middle school field trip to the Renaissance Faire. I started seeing stars and feeling incredibly woozy. All sound was muffled and I couldn’t really hear anything, almost like I was underwater. All I remember is stumbling over to a tree so I could get some relief from the blazing hot sun. I don’t remember wearing sunscreen that day but it obviously would have been a good idea because the sun was so strong that day…and we were basically in the middle of a desert. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/amika-soulfood-nourishing-hair-mask-review/ Wed, 28 Aug 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/amika-soulfood-nourishing-hair-mask-review/ I received a travel-friendly bottle of Amika Soulfood Nourishing Mask in a Sephora Summer Hair Sample Set, and it couldn’t have come a minute sooner. My hair has been feeling pretty dull and lackluster because of the humidity, but this hair mask helped revive it in just five minutes. “Isma looked at her reflection in the mirror, hair “texturized” into “beachy waves,” as Mona of Persepolis Hair in Wembley had promised when she recommended a product that could counter frizzy, flyaway hair without attaining the miracle of straightening it. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/fresh-sugar-rose-tinted-lip-treatment-sunscreen-review/ Tue, 09 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/fresh-sugar-rose-tinted-lip-treatment-sunscreen-review/ Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment turned out to be a sleeper hit in Sephora’s Sun Safety Kit 2018. Every time I use it, I feel like I’m treating my lips to a mini spa day. It leaves my lips feeling oh-so-soft and healthy, without a hint of waxiness or oiliness that comes from other types of chapsticks and lip treatments. And though it does lend a bit of rosiness to your lips, unlike a lipstick, it doesn’t leave a noticeable tint on the rim of a drinking glass. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/kose-softymo-deep-treatment-cleansing-oil-review/ Sat, 11 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/kose-softymo-deep-treatment-cleansing-oil-review/ Ever since dipping my feet in the oil cleansing routine with Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil almost a year ago, I’ve been meaning to try its sister product—Kose Softymo Deep Treatment Cleansing Oil—for a long time now. Both of these oil cleansers are the most affordable options available on Amazon right now. If you look at some of the other ones that are similarly priced, you’ll see that they come in much smaller bottles. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/best-zinc-oxide-sunscreen-lip-balms-burts-bees-vs-sprouts/ Sat, 05 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/best-zinc-oxide-sunscreen-lip-balms-burts-bees-vs-sprouts/ I’ve always loved leisurely browsing the aisles of a nice, brightly lit grocery store. One thing I hate about living in NYC is the grocery shopping experience. When I’m shopping in a nice grocery store, I feel on edge because it’s usually pretty crowded—either because of the sheer number of people, the limited square footage, or some combination thereof. In some stores, I also feel like I’m dodging store employees as they restock the shelves, and fellow shoppers who want to grab some overpriced bone broth or asparagus water on the way to a Bikram yoga class. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/alba-botanica-mineral-sunscreen-review/ Mon, 03 Sep 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/alba-botanica-mineral-sunscreen-review/ I just spent the past week in Vegas, and boy, did my skin feel like it was actually sizzling in that 100-degree heat. The sun feels much stronger out there—and indeed, the UV index was 9 in Vegas today, compared to 7 in NYC. You can look up the UV index for your city here on the EPA’s website. It definitely served as a catalyst for getting serious about finding a quality sunscreen that I could apply on my body every day (without going broke). https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/ren-skincare-evercalm-mask-review/ Fri, 17 Aug 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/ren-skincare-evercalm-mask-review/ REN Clean Skincare is a London-based company that claims that its products don’t contain any harsh chemicals, and that it only uses clean, natural ingredients that benefit skin. It’s also clean as in green—the company has pledged to become waste-free by 2021. Sephora’s Sun Safety Kit 2018 included this mask, perhaps as a soothing post-sun mask. I recently tried it out for the first time and wanted to share my first impressions of this mask. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/kose-softymo-speedy-cleansing-oil-review/ Sat, 30 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/kose-softymo-speedy-cleansing-oil-review/ I’ve been toying with the idea of double cleansing for a while now—mostly because my tinted sunscreen doesn’t come off with regular face wash alone. I heard good things about the oil cleansing method, which is specifically designed to gently remove sunscreen and makeup from your face. Of course, it took me weeks to research various oil cleansers before I finally decided on to take the plunge and order Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil on Amazon.
