You started a retinol and your feed filled up with warnings: it makes you burn, it thins your skin, one sunny walk and you have undone everything. The truth is calmer and a lot easier to follow. There really is a retinol and sunscreen rule, but it is two plain habits, not a horror story….
Every couple of years a headline goes around that sunscreen chemicals end up in your blood, and it always lands the same way: half relief that someone finally said it, half panic that you have been rubbing something questionable on your face every morning.
