Blog number 2 of looking into my make-up bag!
Today, I'm talking tinted moisturiser!
The reason I use a tinted moisturiser as my day-to-day cover, is because I don't like the feeling of clogging up my skin, for some of you this probably sounds rediculous as there are some great foundations out there, however, foundation for me is what I use for special occasions and I am quite lucky because my skin doesn't need much coverage (unless I'm hormonal!).
I mentioned in my last blog, about how I love using a professional skin care brand on my skin and I don't think you should just stop using it once you've finished your cleanse, tone and moisturise routine. I also use it at my base make-up.
Dermalogica Sheer Tint Moisturiser: £28-£35 (40ml)
This product is my beauty must have, it gives me just enough coverage, it keeps my skin moisturised in an office environment AND most importantly it contains SPF 20, which as I mentioned in my last blog, is extremely important to protect your skin from UV Rays.
Sheer Tint is also super easy because it blends to your natural skin tone, it comes in light, medium and dark, so you just need to have a rough idea of what category your skin would fit into. I recommend this product to a lot of my customers and I haven't found a skin type yet, that it doesn't match to.
I don't use a brush to apply this to my face, I simply pop some onto the back of my hand and gently rub it into my skin, following the direction of the downy hair that grows on the face, like you would with a standard moisturiser. I have been using this product for almost three years now and I couldn't be without it! It is also great for on holiday, because you don't want anything too heavy on your face in the evening if it's humid and this product is so light, you don't even feel like you have anything on, it is also brilliant because it blends with skin tones, even once you've developed a tan- this product will still match and won't give you those horrendous tide lines! *shudder at the thought*
To summarise, if you are wanting an easy, light everyday cover that puts moisture into your skin and contains SPF- then look no further than this product. You won't regret it, and your skin will thank you for it later!
Love life,
