Blanche’s Book Club: ‘Get the f*ck Out of the sun.’

I’ve been reading small bits of self-improvement books as part of my daily morning routine, and I’m loving it!

The most recent book I finished is “Get The F*ck Out of the Sun” by Lauren Evarts Bosstick, best known for “The Skinny Confidential.”

Admittedly, I don’t follow TSC, but I saw a little bit about this book before reading it. From the title, I wasn’t really sure what it was about, but when I saw it available at the library, I realized it was a book on skincare!

For all of the face masks and at-home facials I’ve done over the years, I’ve never thought about reading a book on skincare — isn’t that funny?

I checked it out right away, and I really enjoyed reading it.

The reviews on Goodreads were mixed, but I went into this book that the tips and advice from various celebrities and doctors would vary based on their expertise and their skin. Bottom line: different things work for different people.

I took notes as I read each morning, and I’ve got a list of things I want to try, buy, read, and listen to. Here’s my list, in case you’re curious:

• Summer Fridays CC Me Serum
• Caffeine Sunscreen (a type of sunscreen that improves the skin)
• Tula Sunscreen (protects from sun and blue light)
• Dry brush (to use before applying self-tanner)
• LED Mask (to prevent signs of aging)
• Facial yoga
• Facial massage
• Gua sha
• BareMinerals faux tan
• First Aid Beauty Skin Rescue Deep Cleanser
• Konjac sponge (for face washing)
• Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay (pore-cleansing)
• First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Intensive Peel
• Lawless Beauty (clean products)
• Botanical Beauty Vitamin C Face Oil
• Versed (nearly anything from this brand!)
• Rosewater (to boost any skincare product)
• Baby washcloths (for daily face washing)
• “Natch Beaut” (podcast)
• “Fat Mascara” (podcast)
• “The Uncomfortable Podcast“
• “Breaking Beauty” (podcast)

…As you can, it’s a long list! I actually already purchased the LED light therapy mask, but I need more time to use it before I can properly report back 🙂

I thought this book was fun and digestible — it may not be the most “medical” reference for skincare, but I will probably never read something too heavy!

Have you read this one?
