Hi everyone!
My partner, my friend and myself are planning a trip to Madagascar + Mauritius. Overall we have 3.5 weeks, which we plan to do ~2w Madagascar + ~1w Mauritius.
Like most, my agenda seems quite ambitious. I was hoping to fly from Tana to Morondava for the Baobabs and then fly to Nosy Be (and from somewhere in Madagascar, we need to fly to Mauritius). I admit I thought i could do most of it by car… and when I realized not, I almost choked seeing how much it would be taking all those internal flights.
We want to enjoy the nature, lemurs, chameleons, baobabs, tuna fishing… And seeing the whale shark, as it has been my longtime dream (I read that November is a great month to see them in Nosy Be.

I guess my questions would be:

1. For the days we’re there, is it doable to visit the main places and go to Nosy Be (maybe driving instead of flying sometime). Which route would you recommend?
2. Is Nosy Be really worth it, considering we’re going to Mauritius a few days after?
3. Anyone with experience sighting whale sharks there?

I’m trying to think of the best route and find a good balance between time-efficient and money-efficient.

Thank you! 😊

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all having a fantastic day.

I’m looking for a new facial sunscreen.
I’ve watched so many videos, read many reviews, and gone through tons of comments, but everyone seems to have a different opinion.

For reference, I have oily skin (especially in the summer), and I absolutely hate sunscreens that leave a shiny or greasy finish. I also don’t wear makeup on a daily basis.

I saw lots of great reviews for the La Roche-Posay Anthelios sunscreen, but unfortunately it didn’t work for me at all. It still made my skin look oily, so I stopped using it. That’s why I’m a bit skeptical of online reviews now. Many people swore it was the sunscreen, but my experience was completely different.
The BOJ Aqua Light sunscreen seems like a good option, but I’ve also come across reviews from people who developed closed comedones after using it.

I’d love to try them all myself, but unfortunately I can’t afford to buy multiple sunscreens just to test them.
Sorry, I know there are probably a million posts like this already. I’m just struggling to find the right sunscreen, and after my experience with La Roche-Posay, I’m worried about trusting online reviews.

Does anyone with oily, acne-prone or comedone-prone skin have a sunscreen they genuinely love? Thank you!
