Hi Anna, I unfortunately can't comment on whether the Origins product is universal or not. But, I would just like to say, I absolutely love that you're asking this question and thinking about it! It just really warmed my heart and made me so proud to be following you
Re: Renaissance dad on holiday- it’s so funny when someone describes your style or outfit in a way that’s so true but that you never thought of. Once I had a coworker tell me my style was “tenured sociology professor” and I was like... wow I never realized that but yes it is
Hi Anna the best SPF I’ve ever used on my face is the La Roche Posay Anthelios ultra light invisible fluid SPF 50. Sinks into skin instantly, doesn’t leave a white film, non-greasy and non-sticky. I use it every single day.
I have heard so many good things about La Roche Posay range. I really have to try this stuff! Thanks for reminding me - I get overwhelmed choosing sunblocks and always end up with something that feels hideous!
I definitely second that ! Been using it for years, I did like to try others now and then. Was always disappointed. Anthelios is the best and really gentle for extra sensitive skin I hâve rosacea
For SPF tinted products, I have the completely opposite problem of being super duper pale (as in, always being shade 01 in foundation and often that is too dark!) and they never work on me- the origins one you mentioned looks like a terrible fake tan job! 🙈 I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t work for darker skin either
Thanks for asking - Biore 50+ SPF is the only SPF Watery Essence i have found that works for my mixed raced skin AND doesn't cause breakouts. It's fantastic and really affordable.
Sadly, It broke me out. But this was when I was caking on make up a few years ago while competing in pageants. Perhaps I should try it again now. Love from this Chinese-Filipino girl in Manila! 🇵🇭
Love the Biore too! Right now I'm trying to use up the Biossance Sheer Mineral Sunscreen, which was fine this spring, but is a little pasty with a tan. I think you've inspired me to re-order the Biore.
Haven’t tried the origins one but as a half Indian lady, it’s been so hard to find one that works for me!! I avoid all tints that turn a diff color just because they ALWAYS look off on me. Tried clear chemical sunscreens and dislike the feeling of them as well! Vanessa, Allana Davison’s manager (why do I feel like I know you all?!) and I have a similar skin tone and she recommended Elta Md. I am IN LOVE with how this sunscreen dries down-no white cast, no grease, makes my skin glowy but doesn’t break it out! Highly recommended for brown girls! Thank you for continuing to stay true to making this channel inclusive. Anna, you are just the best!
Just popped one of your cookies in the oven, check, Caroline Hirons book on my lap, check, French bulldog sleeping on my feet, check! Happy Sunday everyone
I actually never bought the origins sunscreen bc I’d been burned (no pun intended haha) by a Perricone MD sunscreen that was meant to “match your skin tone” and made me look purple. Like Barney the dinosaur. That was $75 down the drain so I was scared to chance it again!!
Still laughing about the renaissance dad on hols when I hear you say "I was just thinking, in my head"!! LOL, where else would you be thinking Anna, if not in your head? Your foot, your hand maybe, bahahaha. XXXX
Origins does not work well on dark skin tones. It leaves a white cast on mine. I like Supergoop. But my favorite is The Beet Shield by Krave. It has taken few years for me to find a SPF that worked well with my complexion. Also, I have had better success with SPF from K Beauty companies. Great question..Thank you Anna!❤️
Awww... good memories! ☺️😊 My favorite hand-held mic was my round brush with yellow handle and black bristles! I used my black vent brush on occasion, but my performance was always much better with my round brush! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 I love how this is a universal thing! 🥰🤩😍 Great vlog, full of so much happiness! 😀😃😄😁
Hi Anna, thanks for asking. I am of deeper skin tone and I've tried tinted spf before and they make me look ashy. They aren't designed for deep skin tones. It makes me feel excluded when this happens. For example clinique dramatically different moisturising bb gel that claims to adapt to all skin tones really doesn't! This is also the case with tinted undereye creams such as origins.
I’ve been using the “heliocare 360 spf 50 gel oil free” I got it at sk’’n clinic, it has a bit of a tint, doesn’t make me break out which has been a problem for me with sunscreen before. It’s awesome!
Only 10 mins in and already obsessed with this tie dye top you’re wearing. If you’re going to tell us that you’ve made this... mind absolutely blown! It’s bloody gorgeous.
K & J - Beauty SPFs do well for my deep skin tone - Purito Centella or Klairs - but these are often chemical mixes. The very best physical sunscreen I’ve found is Glo Skin Beauty Solarshade SPF50. It’s very moisturizing so I wouldn’t recommend for oily or combo skin types. It starts with a bit of a white cast but dries down to a lovely dewy finish. Love it! Loving your Renaissance dad shirt! Also so excited for Caroline’s book 🤩 Great vlog as per usual 😉
La Roche posay anthelios sunscreen hands down the best I’ve used. I have lost count of the bottles I’ve used up. Makeup sits well on it, no white cast no flashback it’s super lightweight it’s perfect
I'm 23 and the only skincare I do is moisturise morning and night. Use spot cream on the occasion when I get spots (usually linked to the time of the month) and when I wear makeup I take it off with a micellar water and use a cleaning lotion. I know nothing about skincare but want to look after my skin and look young when I'm old (without the use of botox etc) so should I get Caroline's book?
Anna, Arnotts biscuits are Australian (not New Zealnad)... And I'm glad you liked the chocolate mint biscuits!!!.... in Australai Tim Tam's are the BEST/ most popular, then monticarlos. Actually all of Arnotts biscuits are pretty good. xxx
Me and my sisters used brooms/mops and did the whole routine to Sound do the Underground by Girls Aloud whilst my dad played it on guitar (we made him learn it!) Good times ❤️
When you brought out the mint slice I died! I'm an Aussie living in Hungary so I can't get my fave bikkies - you lucky girl! Also, I was interested about your recent issues with skin sensitivity. I also have dry sensitive skin and have just had to switch moisturisers. I've got a cleanser, serum (cannabis line) and moisturiser (daily hydrator for sensitive skin) from Kiehls now. I would really LOVE a video on reasonably priced products of this kind. I think Kiehls is a little pricey but not outrageous. Maybe there are products just as good for less though?
i'm personally really into korean spfs, some include the purito centella green level safe sun spf 50+ pa ++++ and the cosrx aloe soothing sun creams spf 50+ pa +++. purito is a pretty clean brand which i like. both spfs are more watery based (personal prefer this type). (:
I have dark Latinx skin and I am very picky about sunscreens since many will leave me with whitecast and make me look like I have jaundice or take forever to blend in. Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen is my favorite and it's what I recommend to friends and family who are bad at wearing sunscreen.
I really liked this vlog. Can you pls share your blueberry milkshake recipe? Oh and alphaH daily essential moisturiser with spf50 is really good for all skin tones.
The best SPF for dark skin in my opinion is the full-body Elta MD Broad Spectrum spf 30+ UV LOTION. I'm black and it's moisturizing without any sort of cast! My holy grail and I've stocked up in case they ever change.
Hairbrush or deodorant, those were definitely my microphones. Ohh the memories! 😂 What kind of lemon drizzle frosting did you make for the muffins? It’s a different one than the one in the recipe isn’t it?
Karmameju new sunscreen line. They have a BB-creme with spf, which is adorable. Only containing good stuff! It’s a danish brand, but maybe you’ll be able to find it
You've mentioned your breakouts a few times recently and I noticed that they seem to be tied in with when you've been doing more baking - do you think all the sugar from the cookies, muffins and biscuits might be causing your skin to flare up? I don't get spots very often but have noticed I get more when I eat more sugar, so wondered if it might be the same for you!
Hey Anna, I love your weekly videos and you in general! Such a bright way to start my Sunday morning (Aussie but living in SF Bay Area). I've not tried the Origins so it may well be a chemical sunscreen but I think it's an interesting re tinted mineral sunscreens. As I understand it, the tinting of mineral sunscreens isn't to provide coverage it's to offset the white coloration from the zinc/mineral protection. I tend to try to use mineral protection since I have melasma/pigmentation and chemical sunscreen insulates heat into the skin making melasma worse. (Maybe Caroline dives into this somewhere?) Anyway, I've been curious if folks with darker skin tones can use mineral tinted sunscreen, again since the tint isn't there to provide coverage and effectively fades once you put on the skin.
Oh I literally stopped the video half way and now realize you're sort of saying the same thing! I've used the Paula's Choice mineral 30 which is good but again has that tint. As I understand (from Go-To founder Zoe Foster Blake) the iron-oxide pigments in tinted sunscreen are not the same as those in foundation. They are rubbed in and effectively disappear. I just ordered the Elta MD physical sunscreen to try. Hope our deeper skinned beauties have got some reccos for you x
Hi Anna! This is my first comment on any of your vids, but I've been a long time viewer. I felt compelled to say I love the Elta MD sunscreens, specifically the UV Elements (tinted) for a chemical one UV Clear if you're looking for a chemical one. I am a bit tan and tend to break out, but these two have been pretty good to me! I do think they ship to the UK as well. Much love!!
Hi! I love your channel! I used an upright vacuum cleaner for my microphone and a good old hairbrush for the wireless one. :) Did you have a spotlight?? I made my little sis hold a flashlight on me. lol
Hi Anna- With regards to the Origins product, I have used it before however I am a mid tone skin (NARS Barcelona in foundation) and it was fine without any or ashy ness....but I don't think it would work on deeper tones as when I tan it did not suit.
Had to do some Googling for your burger. Patty & Bun! Wow! What a menu! Also, I'm sure someone mentioned it, but your sweats remind me so much of an aged cheese. I love it!
Anna have you ever tried Korean or Japanese sunscreens? I’m not sure how available they are in the UK (I’m from the States and I buy mine on yesstyle). My favorite is the dear klairs UV essence, it literally feels like nothing.
Hi, Anna! I just ordered the Koa Anti-Pollution SPF45+ after reading rave reviews on IntotheGloss. It's a small, sustainable, inclusive brand--with tinted and non-tinted SPF (for those of us with ghost complexions)--and the mineral SPF ingredient list is a dream for sensitive skin x
The origins vitazing doesn't work for my light-medium Asian skin. I like the bare minerals complexion rescue instead because it has physical SPF (titanium dioxide) and comes in lots of shades.
My husband and I are huge karaoke fans and still use the remote control as the mic, even though my husband is a singer in a band and has actual microphones in the house 😂
I exclusively wear Black Girl Sunscreen for the reasons others have mentioned, "universal" or generic sunscreens always turn me gray and ashy. Haven't tried the Origins one but I highly doubt it would work.
