    I think a big reason why so many websites look the same is what web development has became. Everyone uses the same frameworks, design systems, libraries or pre-made UI components, which makes things faster to build (and cheaper) but also very standardized. Personally, that’s what made me lose interest in getting into web development commercially as it didn’t feel as creative as I imagined it would be. I felt more like using specific patterns rather than actually making something unique.

    And honestly, that's not exactly connected to your question but I think Android applications are even worse when it comes to that. I realized this during a mobile app development lesson at university, where it found out how strongly Google pushes Material Design. It standardizes almost everything you can think of, which is good for performance but in my opinion it leaves very little room for real creativity.

    It depends on whether you prefer mineral or chemical sunscreen. Personally, I prefer mineral sunscreens, though the downside is that zinc oxide and titanium dioxide leave a noticeable white cast.

    But recently I discovered a game-changer - Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Mineral SPF50+. It leaves minimal white cast (which fades completely after some time anyway) and feels really lightweight, there is no greasiness at all. It even makes my skin feel softer. As someone who tried dozens of mineral sunscreens, I can say it's really worth it even though it's not cheap.

    If you prefer chemical sunscreens and cheaper options, it's much easier to find a nice one but keep in mind that thwy can leave yellow stains on white clothes (learned it the hard way sadly). A few great options I know are Holika Holika Aloe SPF50+ and SKIN79 Waterproof Sun Gel SPF50+ which are both korean and look really nice on skin. I think Holika Holika is quite affordable at least where I live. La Roche-Posay makes nice sunscreens for body as well but I'm not sure about prices. For budget-friendly picks, I also love Lirene sunscreens but it's my local brand so not sure if you can find it available anywhere for you.
