COOLA

My main skin concern is redness (maybe mild rosacea?) on my cheeks and t-zone. It always looks like I am blushing and makes my face feel hot, so it is something I am always trying to solve! The two main redness-reducing products I use are the Niacinamide and EUK 134. The rest of the products I have included here are those that are just gentle and soothing in general. Glossier. - Milky Jelly Cleanser : This cleanser is so gentle on my skin and never leaves my skin feeling tight. It is perfect for my sensitive skin. The Ordinary - Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% : I was recommended this product by @leena.tabajaand@jane_brownto help even my skin tone! After doing some research, I found out that this is great for getting rid of dark spots, soothing redness AND decongesting pores, so I was sold! I have been using this in combination with the EUK serum for 2-3 weeks, and it has honestly made a world of a difference. I use this product in the morning so that I can still use my Tatcha Violet-C serum at night. Apparently Niacinamide can negate the effects of Vitamin C, so they always need to be used at alternating times. Kate Somerville - Goat Milk Moisturizing Cream : This is a perfect lightweight moisturizer for summertime. It is gentle and gets the job done! COOLA - Full Spectrum 360° Sun Silk Drops Organic Face Sunscreen SPF 30 : Always have to have SPF as part of the routine! This is the one I am currently using. It is lightweight but does have a pretty strong sunscreen smell. But it definitely gets the job done. With sensitive skin like mine, you should always use SPF. TATCHA - Violet-C Brightening Serum 20% Vitamin C + 10% AHA : I use this product at night to help even out my skin tone and give my skin a boost of antioxidants. It is a bit overpriced. I definitely enjoy using it, but definitely won’t repurchase. PAULA'S CHOICE - Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliator : Since I have sensitive skin, I need to use a very gentle exfoliant. This leave-on exfoliant always leaves my skin feeling soothed and not stripped. This is a holy grail product that I will purchase again and again! The Ordinary - EUK 134 0.1% : This serum has a long scientific explanation of why it works, but basically it is designed specifically to soothe redness! It feels more like an oil than a serum and burned the first couple of times I used it, but my skin got used to it fairly quickly. Like I mentioned above, I use this at night to go along with my Niacinamide. The two together are really soothing my redness, and these are the only products I have ever used that do. And since they are both by The Ordinary, they are both under $10. So… rate my routine!! 🤗🤗🤗

COOLA - Full Spectrum 360° Sun Silk Drops Organic Face Sunscreen SPF 30 I was looking for an SPF I could apply with my moisturizer that was non sticky, didn’t smell bad and didn’t leave a white overcast. I searched for several options over a few days and found this product by the clean beauty brand Coola. I had never heard of this brand before, but I decided to give it a try anyway because it had very good reviews. I got it for $46 at Sephora. The applicator it a dropper, and I only need about 4-5 drops for my whole face and neck (if you swipe through the pictures my chubby hand will give you an idea of the size of my chubby cheeks! So you probably need a little less). You can use it by itself, layered over your creams & under your makeup, or mix it with your moisturizer. I’ve tried both ways and it works beautifully. I included pictures of the ingredients, dropper, consistency, fluidity and what it looks like after you actually blend it into your skin. No white cast at all! There is a light scent to it, but it is not overpowering. ✨To sum things up: PROS: -only requires a few drops -no white cast -not sticky -absorbed quickly -organic & clean beauty CONS: -can’t think of anything right now

Ever since I discovered Coola , I’ve fallen in love with the brand! Their sunscreen products are - cruelty free 🐰 - reef friendly 🐠 - Antioxidant enriched 🍓 And most importantly, they all offer some range of SPF!! ☀️ MY referral link: http://rwrd.io/pzn0epj?s Unfortunately I only buy their classic face sunscreen because the rest of their products are very pricey, and I find name brand products acceptable for the rest of my skin. HOWEVER they recently started a promotion for a $50 Mystery Box 📦! Considering all their products are $10 and up, this is a good deal, except you don’t know what you’ll get. I decided to roll the dice and go for it 🎲 and I couldn’t be happier!! Here’s my review of the products that came in my box: 1. COOLA - Piña Colada Classic Body Organic Sunscreen Spray Piña Colada SPF 30 $25 - Like all Coola products this sunscreen spray smells INCREDIBLE. It’s a clear spray on, not a lotion spray on. It feels great on the skin but not a significant difference from other spray on sun screen. I love this product but I gave it 4 stars because I don’t feel it’s worth the price. 2. COOLA - Classic Face Organic Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 $32 - LOVE. OBSESSED. MUST BUY. I put this sunscreen on my face every morning. It smells incredible, it rubs in smooth, and leaves my face feeling hydrated and protected. If you’re looking for a daily face sunscreen, you found it. 💛 3. COOLA - Full Spectrum 360° Refreshing Water Mist Organic Face Sunscreen SPF 18 $36 - It truly is refreshing. Works great as a setting spray and offers more benefits than a regular setting spray because of its hydrating and protective properties. It’s a slow pump spray helping the product last longer. 4. COOLA - Classic Liplux Organic Lip Balm Sunscreen Original SPF 30 $10 - Personally I’m not a fan of peppermint, but the peppermint is not overwhelming and the warm vanilla tone is soothing. This product feels great on the lips and is very hydrating. Wasn’t expecting to like it so much. 5. COOLA - Classic Body SPF 50- Guava Mango $28 - LOVE the way this product smells! It feels as hydrating as smooth as the face sunscreen and it smells like a tropical island 🏝! This is probably my favorite body sunscreen of all time, but for the price point I would say it’s the kind you should use sparingly or save for a special date. I got all of these items for $50, but it would have been $133 retail. So the mystery box is certainly a great deal! 📦 but also a gamble! 🎲 If you’re looking to buy Coola products, I recommend buying directly through the site. They offer the BEST customer service and an awesome rewards program. Here is my referral link for $10 off your first order of $50 http://rwrd.io/pzn0epj?s

Wow! This 30 spf sunscreen is the real deal! When looking for products that are more clean and cruelty-free you are not always sure about the quality and effectiveness! This one is BOTH high quality and works really well! The smell is a very light cucumber scent and the texture is to die for! It instantly turns from a cream into a very light, fluffy/powdery texture as you blend it into your skin! No white residue, absorbs well and does what it should; prevent sun damage to your skin! No grease, dries to a nice matte finish! Reminds me of a primer, and it works really well to layer make up over top of it!! **Cost wise ($48 CAD) it is a bit pricier than some less clean sunscreen products, but I think one tube will last me the whole summer! So it is worth it to me!**

I discovered coola a few years ago and immediately fell in love!! As someone who has skin that tans pretty easy and doesn’t really burn, SPF was never a priority for me in my everyday life - until I started reading more about how important it is to protect your skin from the sun and how it can help the skin from aging. The COOLA - Makeup Setting Spray Organic Sunscreen SPF 30 is my forever favorite because it’s such quick, easy protection and it doesn’t mess up my makeup. I use it as my first setting spray before I apply my mascara and follow up with a second setting spray. When it comes to actual sunscreen lotion COOLA - Classic Sport Face SPF50 White Tea has always come in handy! It has 90 minutes of stay power and it doesn’t come off with water or sweat 💦 where I found this mini COOLA - Mineral Body Organic Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 Tropical Coconut was perfect to take with me on the road this summer when I knew my partner and I were going to be outside in the sun for awhile. I will say the mineral sunscreen is a more milky consistency and a little silkier than the sport which is a little thicker. I will repurchase all of these products ☀️❤️

Coola Sport is an spf 50 organic face sunscreen that delivers sun protection in a light lotion formula that is non greasy. This lotion is great for anyone experiencing dryness. It contains antioxidant rich nutrients to help fight free radicals and nourish skin along with technology to create an ultra light protective shield for defense from the suns rays. The formula is sheer on the skin and has a light fresh scent. I love this sunscreen lotion. I trust it to protect me on long days in the sun. It’s light enough for everyday under makeup and It’s also water resistant. I’m never without one n my purse. The price is consistent with other leading brands on the market. I will continue to use this sunscreen because of its benefits. The product is vegan, cruelty free and listed as clean at Sephora.COOLA - Classic Sport Face SPF50 White Tea

Having a good morning can often make or break your entire day. There are a few steps I always take every day to try and set myself up for success. For me, it’s especially important to have a morning routine when working from home— this is because getting ready and prepped is as much as a physical transformation as it is for my mindset. I always wake up, and brush my teeth first thing with something that’s good for me and my teeth. I love Davids - Peppermint Toothpaste along with Tom's OF MAINE - Simply White Fluoride Toothpaste Clean Mint who are both eco-friendly and pack their toothpastes full of natural whitening and enamel strengthening ingredients. The SLS and other dermatitis inducing ingredients in all toothpastes can make you break out, so I always follow brushing with a gentle cleanser like Glossier. - Milky Jelly Cleanser or fresh - Soy Face Cleanser Limited Edition to remove it without stripping my skin. I’ll tone and then roll on my favorite facial oil or lightweight moisturizer (YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE - Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream is great for the daytime!) with an iced jade roller like this oneNEIBOURHOOD BOTANICALS - Jade Roller Gua Sha Facial Massage You can use ice, but this is nice to help de puff eyes as well and give a quick wake up. While letting my oil sink in, I’ll put on a pot of tea that caters to my skin (spearmint and green tea) to drink in lieu of coffee which gives me anxiety, and do my morning stretching and meditation while it boils. When I’m done stretching, I’ll add the hot water to my teabag and let it brew. While it’s brewing I’ll add a multitasking SPF to protect and make my skin glow without makeup, with something like COOLA - Classic Full Spectrum 360 Sun Silk Drops SPF 30 or a tinted moisturizer like it Cosmetics - it Cosmetics CC+ Cream SPF 50+ to even out my skin tone and make me look more awake, while protecting me from sun damage. If I have zoom meetings or errands, I’ll put on quick makeup. If not, a hydrating lip mask it is. Something like BITE - Agave+ Intensive Vegan Lip Mask lasts for hours and makes my lips feel super hydrated and nourished, while looking soft and supple. I’ll then light a candle with an invigorating scent like lemon or eucalyptus and drink my tea to center and calm myself to be ready for whatever my day may throw at me! Because I’ve already taken care of my personal care necessities, I feel more bada$$ already. I hope you enjoyed this post. What does your morning routine look like? ✨

This is one of my favorite face sunscreens and moisturizers! I tried COOLA - Classic Full Spectrum 360 Sun Silk Drops SPF 30 for the first time about 4 months ago and have been in love with then since. With sensitive skin it’s hard to find a good lightweight moisturizer with SPF25+ and I love these. They don’t irritate my skin or cause me to breakout. There isn’t an overpowering sunscreen smell, it almost smells like fresh and clean. They also give your skin a nice glow and are perfect for under makeup, it doesn’t affect the wear of your foundation like some sunscreen moisturizers.

Sun Safety Kit I bought Sephora’s mini sunscreen kit and will be reviewing each one :) I really liked the way this sunscreen spread evenly on my face! It was weightless and gave me a slightly dewy finish, but not over-the-top! I think this is one of the top contenders out of the bunch :)

Spf is an absolute must! These are my favorite so far. I always apply spf after my skincare and before primer. All of these make my skin glow. Dr Dennis Gross: has no scent and after I apply it it doesn’t pill and doesn’t leave a white cast on my face. Dr Dennis Gross - Dark Spot Sun Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Supergoop! Unseen sunscreen: it comes out clear and it leaves my skin matte. Supergoop! - Unseen Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Shiseido urban environment: its liquid so you have to shake it. Has a very slight scent but one of my favorites. SHISEIDO - Urban Environment Oil-Free UV Protector Broad Spectrum Face Sunscreen SPF 42 Biossance sheer mineral sunscreen: smells a little like spf but it blend really well into the skin. BIOSSANCE - Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 PA +++ Coola mineral sun silk creme: super soft and leaves my skin semi matte. COOLA - Full Spectrum 360° Mineral Sun Silk Crème Organic Face Sunscreen SPF 30

✨ This is hands down my holy grail spf. ✨ The texture of this sunscreen is like a silicone-heavy primer, and I’m sure it would behave that way as a base under makeup. It dries down to a matte velvety finish, which I personally enjoy! The tint doesn’t provide much coverage but it does offset any white cast, which is greatly appreciated. ✨ Application and re-application is a breeze, and I would totally recommend this spf to anyone! It is a bit pricey but in my experience no other spf compares, so the price is worth it.

🌥Everday essentials! 1️⃣Always wear spf because you need to protect your skin from the harmful uv rays 2️⃣Protects your skin from aging early. Sure, you might have an amazing glow now, but once we get older, the visible aging will show more 3️⃣Even though it may be overcast or gloomy day, the ultra violet rays still penetrate through and can damage your skin. Hence, sunburns on a not so sunny day . . . Been loving my @coola unscented mineral bb sunscreen, love that it is a smooth creamy tinted texture which dries quite fast and not sticky at all. Literally like applying magic to your face! It is a very light tinted sheer formula which acts like a primer. . The liplux has spf 30 and is also another great creamy formula that glides on smoothly & keeps your lips kissable, well hydrated. The peppermint is very subtle and the vanilla scent is more dominant. Very similar to @farmacybeauty lipbalm texture. Way better than their tinted liplux which is dry and hard to apply. . I would recommend both, I haven’t broken out and I feel comfortable wearing it all day. .

Touting coconut water and aloe as it’s base, this mist is hydrating and gives skin a pleasant slippery feel before settling into a sunscreen-scented (smells like the beach tbh!) finish that sits between satin and dewy, depending on if you pat it in a bit. However... the packaging. Ugh. I, for the life of me, can’t get it to not have a concentrated stream -however small- amidst the misty spray. But the product itself is great, so I spray into my palm then gently press onto my arms and legs. Then rub my hands together to distribute the excess over my fingers and the backs of my hands, for maximum use of the excess. Wait, my body? Yeah! I don’t really like the oily finish of most body sunscreens, so I tend to use this in the car. I don’t go outside often these days, thanks to the current state of events, or I stick to the shade, so I feel comfortable using this to touch-up between SPF50+ sunscreen applications. I don’t use it on my face due to some of the more fragrant ingredients, but it fits perfectly in my middle console and helps to keep me from getting a “car tan” on my daily errands and gym drive. It’s very moisturizing and doesn’t have much slick texture, soaking in easily with a few pats. I can’t advocate enough for using “facial skincare” products on your body, especially if you’re unable to use them on your face for some reason. It helps to keep returns and product waste minimal, which leads to more mindful consumerism. Waste not, want not, after all 👌🏽 #CheriePartner

The Coola Classic Face Sunscreen SPF 50 White Tea scent is an organic face sunscreen that is described as light, non-greasy, and sheer on the skin. It’s meant for normal, dry, combo and oily skin types. It is made for long active days in the sun but is light enough for every day use. This product is vegan, cruelty free and comes in recyclable packaging (which I absolutely love!). It does have a lightweight non-greasy texture. My issue with this sunscreen is that it completely pills, especially trying to wear it under makeup. For that reason I use this product only for no makeup days. For that it’s perfect. I love everything Coola stands for as a brand and want to try some of their other formulas that might work better under makeup. If you don’t wear makeup and want a sunscreen, I would recommend this one. If you’re looking for one for under makeup, I would suggest going with a different formula. This comes in a 1.7 oz tube and is $32 at Sephora. Overall I give this product 3/5 stars.

WHAT IT IS? Moisturizer and broad-spectrum SPF 50 in one PRODUCT TARGET CONCERNS: All skin types even the most sensitive skin. Design for long, active days in the sun. Contains Evening Primrose and Linseed Oils that reduce redness and even skin tone. Safflower Oleosomes provides long lasting hydration. TEXTURE/CONSISTENCY: White lightweight lotion consistency. Very light White Tea scent. OVERALL THOUGHTS: I live in Florida and I spend most of my days outside with my 2-year old. I used tons of different moisturizers with SPF and sunscreens over the years and this one is by far my favorite. It’s not thick and heavy like other sunscreens, doesn’t smell like your typical sunscreen, it hydrates the skin while protecting it from sun. I love that it has SPF 50!!! I use it when I go to a park, beach, pool and I never had sunburn. Few times I forgot to reapply it after being in the ocean and I still didn’t get sunburn. It really is water-resistant. This is the only sunscreen I would repurchase. (Still have half a bottle left after using it for last 4 months) WHY I LIKE/DISLIKE IT: I love it because it’s hydrating as moisturizer and provides excellent protection-SPF 50. I love that it doesn’t smell like sunscreen, it doesn’t give you the “white cast” and it looks great under foundation. WOULD I RECOMMEND IT ? Yes, yes YES!!! Best moisturizer with SPF I have ever tried!! IS IT WORTH IT? 1.7 oz / $32 Yes, it’s worth it. The whole bottle will last me at least 8 months.
