I hear so many good things about Tower 28! I've been curious about their cream blush, but now, I feel the need to check out their tinted SPF. for some reason, my skin sometimes throws a tantrum if I wear regular SPF everyday, and one way to combat that potential breakout is to rely on tinted ones. as for the others (aside from Salt & Stone), I've never heard of these brands before! *brb checking them out* your newsletter always shines some indie brands and I find that super interesting <3

I'm so happy that I can share some new brands with you. The Tower 28 tinted SPF gets a lot of love from everyone and I can see why!

‘Quiet luxury’ sounds good! And it’s so satisfying to use a product that is evocative in that way.

I got excited by your encouraging review of the Salt & Stone SPF, all the way to ‘this, too, has a white cast’. I’m pale, so even a hint of a white cast makes me look ghostly, unfortunately.

Currently, my favourite is the Paula’s Choice youth-extending daily hydrating fluid, and two new-to-me ones that I’ve been getting on very well with are the Klairs all-day airy sunscreen and Beauty of Joseon relief sun: rice and probiotics.

Have a good week!

I've heard excellent things about the Beauty of Joseon SPF! And I hear you. White cast is almost unavoidable when it comes to physical sunscreens (though Ava Isa and Plumscreen do a great job). The "technology" of physical sunscreens has grown leaps and bounds though so one day, a clear version will be the standard I'm sure.
