Product Information

Your doctor/pharmacist may suggest that you limit your time in the sun, avoid tanning booths and sunlamps, and use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors. The formula of Biafine is just an emulsion based on a little water and a lot of fatty ingredients like mainly paraffin, as well as a little avocado oil and squalane.

It's also fabulous as a special moisturizer when you are having a spa day, and it relieves the sting and pain of the sunburn. One such video says that people can “up their moisturising game” by using the cream, and this user says that she now includes the cream in her usual skin routine.This has not stopped the cream from “going viral” online, and it was even recommended by US actor and controversial “wellness” advocate Gwyneth Paltrow on her Goop blog.

So it’s neither a miracle product that serves all purposes as so many TikTokers would have you believe, nor a dangerous product as some obviously very misinformed cosmetic applications say (pleonasm… 😒).

Mineral oil has such a bad reputation nowadays that cosmetic companies hardly dare to use it anymore. It is excellent for acne-prone skin and safe to use even if you have fungi-related skin issues, like seborrhea or fungal acne.Besides a general distaste for pot application methods, my biggest issue with Vaseline is the stickiness it leaves behind.

Finally, it's here, as promised: the conclusion of my Face Sunscreen Guide 2023, this time focusing on Korean sunscreens; my beloved! The lightweight texture and easy application make it convenient for regular use to support the healing process of your skin. Those of us without the adolescent memory might find it a touch abrasive, not bad, but just noticeable. In my experience, pimples don’t merely visit — they move in and save the Wi-Fi password, which means my acne scars can last up to three months.
