Post-Laser Skincare: How I Take Care of My Skin After Sessions Laser sessions can make your skin feel like it's been through a lot – because it has. Whether it's laser hair removal or a facial treatment, your skin needs serious TLC after. Here’s how I personally take care of mine to keep it calm, happy, and glowing. Step 1: Ice & Calm Right after a laser session, I gently apply a cold pack or wrap some ice in a soft cloth and press it on the treated area. It soothes the heat and keeps inflammation down. Step 2: Cleanse Gently I use a fragrance-free, non-foaming cleanser like CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser or Avene. Nothing harsh – just a simple, calming face wash to remove sweat or sunscreen. Step 3: Moisturize Like Crazy This is where the healing begins. I apply a thick layer of La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 or Uriage Bariéderm Cica . These balms help restore the skin barrier and lock in moisture. Step 4: Avoid These for a Few Days No exfoliating –...

The Best Sunscreens for Combination Skin – Your 2025 Summer Guide

Combination skin is tricky. Some areas feel oily, others dry – and the summer sun doesn’t help. But the right sunscreen can balance your skin, protect it from damage, and keep it glowing all season long.

In this guide, I’ll share my top sunscreen picks for combination skin in 2025, what ingredients to look for, and how to choose the best formula for your face.

What to Look for in a Sunscreen for Combination Skin

  • Oil-Free Formulas: Avoid greasy finishes. Choose lightweight, non-comedogenic options.
  • Hydrating but Matte: Ingredients like hyaluronic acid or niacinamide help hydrate dry areas while controlling shine.
  • SPF 30 or Higher: Especially in the Gulf sun. SPF 50 is ideal.
  • Broad Spectrum: Protection from both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays.

Top Sunscreen Picks for 2025

1. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Dry Touch SPF 50
Ultra-light, oil-free. Great for humid weather. Doesn’t clog pores.

2. CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30
Gentle on skin, fragrance-free. Contains ceramides and niacinamide. Best for sensitive combination skin.

3. Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40
Weightless gel texture. Doubles as a primer. Invisible finish – no white cast.

4. Eucerin Oil Control SPF 50+
Made for oily/combination skin. Long-lasting matte finish. Budget-friendly in the Gulf.

Extra Summer Tips by R. Bloom

  • Apply sunscreen last in your routine, before makeup.
  • Reapply every 2 hours, especially if you’re outdoors.
  • Keep blotting papers handy for your T-zone!

Final Thoughts

Your sunscreen should feel like skincare – lightweight, protective, and perfect for your unique skin. Whether you're dealing with mid-day shine or dry cheeks, there’s a formula made just for you.

Protect your glow, and let your skin bloom this summer.

With love,
R. Bloom

How to Layer Skincare Products (Without Overdoing It)

How to Layer Skincare Products (Without Overdoing It) Let’s be real – skincare can get confusing. Do I use toner first? When does serum go in? What if I just want to slap on moisturizer and sleep? Don’t worry. Here’s the simple, no-stress guide to layering your skincare like a pro – without overdoing it or irritating your skin. Step 1: Cleanser (Always First) Whether it’s morning or night, cleansing is the first step. You need a clean canvas before applying anything. Stick to a gentle, non-stripping cleanser that suits your skin type. Step 2: Toner or Mist (Optional) If you use toners, apply them right after cleansing. Hydrating mists or toners with soothing ingredients can prep your skin to absorb the next products better. But it’s not a must. Step 3: Serums (The Good Stuff) This is where the magic happens. Apply your water-based serums first (like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid), then any oil-based ones (like facial oils or vitamin E). Always go from thinnest to thick...
