Now we need to talk about UVA & UVB rays.

These are the two different types of rays the sun radiates. UVA rays are the long waves rays that penetrate deeply into the skin causing aging & wrinkles. UVB rays are the short wave rays that cause sun burn.

This is why it's important to use a sunscreen that protects from both UVA & UVB rays.

Sun cream should be applied 30 minute prior to exposure & reapplied every 2 hours or after exposure to water (advisable even with waterproof formulas).

Sun creams do go out of date. They generally have a usage life of 12 months (a year), however if you're not sure you can check the bottle. It should have a little tub symbol with a number written on it, that's the expiry time.

So these are just some of the basics you need to know about SPF!

Enjoy the sun & be safe folks!

This is only a sample size but really that's all you need as facial oils should be used sparingly.

I received this product in a Glossybox a while ago and hadn't heard of the brand Monu before. After trying this product a few times I have to say it's not quite for me.

I think it is best suited to dry skin and older skin possibly, as it claims to have firming properties.

I can't support them claims as I'm sure you'd have to use this at least 3 times a week to see results, which I don't think my skin could handle.

I would also like to mention that people with nut allergies cannot use this product!

Although if you smell this product you can smell the nut in it so it's quite obvious. Whilst I'm on the smell, I hate it. It's a combination of nuts & clinical cleaning products (weird I know).

So overall not a great review but for you dry skin folk looking for a firming facial oil, this could be for you.
