2022 “About Me”Hi 👋🏻 I’m Hannah I’

2022 “About Me”Hi 👋🏻 I’m Hannah I’m a pharmaceutical scientist by training and worked in clinical trials in several therapeutic areas, including melanoma.I care a lot about sun safety, because skin cancer is awful and pervasive, and something we can work toward preventing.That’s partly why my friend Matt @dirtyboysgetclean and I started #TodaysSPF - daily sunscreen use is proven to reduce the risk of skin cancer. It’s also great for your skin’s long-term health.These days I’m full-time freelance coming up on 2 years 🎉 I create content, write, consult.I love helping you make sense of the science behind skincare, because it’s a lot! I also love talking self care, creativity and beauty. We really do a mix on my channels - what can I say, my ADHD brain loves novelty. It fuels creativity. You can totally be a STEM person and a creative person.We’re all creative - don’t rule it out if it brings you joy.Now for the fun part - tell me which skincare product/s you’re currently loving 🥰🌸🧴👀

You might have guessed this but, I talk to people

You might have guessed this but, I talk to people about sunscreen a lot, and we talk about objections to wearing it daily. Most of the time it's complaints about the feel of it on skin, or the assumption that it will clog pores, or the memory of unpleasant sunscreens we grew up with. That's a big reason I do what I do, because every bit of sun damage adds up, and wearing sunscreen daily is a proven strategy to preserve your skin's function and appearance.There's a @larocheposayaunz sunscreen for every skin type and preference - I would know. I've tested so, so many, and sunscreens have come such a long way. Here are my picks:𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗼𝘀 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗦𝗣𝗙𝟱𝟬+ is for dry, sensitive skin. It's nourishing but not heavy, and of course, very high broad spectrum protection. Because the last thing delicate skin needs is more stress from the sun. 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗼𝘀 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶-𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝗣𝗙𝟱𝟬+ actively controls shine and absorbs excess sweat and oil. It also stays put, exactly where you place it. If you're after oil control, it's for you. 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗼𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗶𝗱 𝗦𝗣𝗙𝟱𝟬+ feels like nothing on the skin, for anyone that doesn't like the feeling of something on the skin. It's also perfect if you're breakout-prone, because it's so light and won't clog pores, and I love using it to reapply over makeup.There you have it! A sunscreen for every skin type.So tell me - who in your life isn't on board yet? Let's address their complaints and find them the right sunscreen.#sponsored @larocheposayaunz #LaRochePosayEveryDay #Anthelios #SunscreenALWAYS READ THE LABEL. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE. Apply 20 minutes before sun exposure. Sunscreen is only one part of sun protection so wear protective clothing and seek shade. Avoid prolonged sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming, towelling and perspiring in accordance with directions.

Tag yourself, I’m the cat play-bitingHappy new year! I hope you’ve been well and wish you relaxation and your best skin yet.I’ve been trying to relax and “catch up” - catch up on things around the house, organising, resetting, recharging, refreshing, you know, the stuff we all pretend to be on top of as we unravel internally? Just me?PS. Go reapply your sunscreen - which one are you wearing today? ✨

Did you know, just five sunburns before the age of 20 can increase the risk of melanoma by 80%?And around 81,000 Australians missed their annual skin checks during the past two years' stay-at-home orders. This means some skin cancers went undetected 😔If you're not wearing sunscreen daily yet, here's some more info - The sun’s damage is cumulative. Every day that you don’t protect your skin is another day you increase your risk of developing skin cancer, or if that’s not motivation enough, prematurely deteriorating your skin’s appearance and function. I'm not above appealing to your vanity.I don't want you to get burnt this summer, or ever really, so here are some more things you can do for the long-term health of your skin: - Book in for a skin check, - Wear sunscreen, apply liberally, and reapply. Don't forget your ears and the back of your neck. - Cover up with clothing, - Get a hat you love and wear it! - Stay in the shade whenever you can, - Protect your eyes with sunglasses.#sponsored @larocheposayaunz #LaRochePosayEveryDay #Anthelios #sunscreenALWAYS READ THE LABEL.

Want your body care to actually do something? Same

Want your body care to actually do something? Same. Let me tell you about @paulaschoiceau Skin-Smoothing Retinol Body Treatment.First, quick refresher on retinol ✔️ Helps with skin's texture and smooths out lines over time, ✔️ Gives you a more even tone (helps with discolouration), ✔️ and even trains your skin to better hydrate itself.Yes!Of course, staying sun smart and using sunscreen daily are a given too, if you want these results.Retinol can do all this at concentrations of just 0.01% (in the right formula) This lightweight, unscented lotion contains 0.1%, ie ten times that, but still an amount you can use daily without irritation, It won't compete with your chosen perfume, It hydrates enough that you can use in place of moisturiser, with glycerin, panthenol (vitamin B5), plus evening primrose and grapeseed oils There's also vitamin C and carnosine (our anti-glycation ingredient friend)I'm using it to help prevent clogged pores on the chest and little bumps on the backs of arms, plus some line prevention for hands and knees (because it's not just my face I worry about).I'm onto my second bottle - picked up my first in the family and friends sale this year and I've never looked back. What a find!#sponsored #PCGlow @paulaschoiceau @paulaschoice

If you had no constraints for buying sunscreen, what would you want your experience to be?🧴🧴 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: @rationale The Tinted Serum SPF50+, $172AU for 30mL𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆: ⁉️ The tint is really sheer, but I have yet to see it on a skintone darker than medium. Let me know if you’ve tried or know someone that has!𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘂𝗽 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: I wear it alone, without foundation or concealer and it makes my skin look great. That’s what I’ve done here. Reapplies beautifully over itself, no flashback (I used flash for the second image). It evens out your skin and adds glow. In the video on the final slide I’ve compared one hand with it on and one hand without, for a visual.𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵: It’s gorgeous. I’m sorry! I use in place of foundation, my freckles show through but not in a half concealed, may as well not bother way, they just look pretty. It’s heaven. The finish is a glow but not an oily glow, and it’s a fluidy liquid texture, a dry face oil/water emulsion. See final slide for texture.𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀: Combination. If you’re dry, it’s also lovely, if you veer more oily you might like to wear it alone, no skincare underneath. I’ve worn it that way and it’s gorgeous (I’m combination like most people) 𝗔𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗵𝗼𝗹: N 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: Essential oils of juniper, orange, bergamot, geranium.Eye sting: NA 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁: N 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁: N 𝗨𝗩 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿/𝘀: Zinc Oxide 𝗔𝗨𝗦𝗧-𝗟: N/A, must be a secondary sunscreen.𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Niacinamide, green tea, bisabolol, hydration from ceramides, amino acids, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, argan oil, melanin and iron oxides (for blue light protection). Also lots of Australian botanical antioxidants.Look… as far as the experience goes… I couldn’t ask for more. It’s gorgeous. I keep reaching for it. I want to buy it again… 🥲🆘I do find the dropper a little fussy and hard to manage, especially since I 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 don’t want to waste product, but that’s my only complaint.
