Inegrating SPF into your Make-Up
Tinted Moisturizer or SPF Foundations are Great Make-Up Options
Aug 27, 2009
Most women prefer to wear less makeup during the summer months, when pale skin brought on by the winter (which is mostly spent indoors) is transformed to a sun-kissed glow. Many factors can contribute to a difficult transition from winter to summer makeup. For one, having even a slight tan can throw the shade of your winter foundation off course. And two, it's nice to just let your skin breathe in the warmer months and not apply so much make up however, even skin tone is a must. And then sun protection must be incorporated into the daily routine. But SPF underneath foundation seems too heavy for must skin types.
SPF in Day-to-Day Beauty Products
There are several great solutions to all of these dilemmas. You can use either a tinted moisturizer with SPF or a powder foundation, also with SPF. These natural sunscreens can act as skin protecting shields as well as excellent treatments for dry or damaged skin. One of the key aspects to healthy skin is regularly applying moisturizer.
Natural Ingredients Go A Long Way
Our skin absorbs 65% of what we put on it, which means that ingredients in our make up are just as important as ingredients in our food. Look for a natural or organic skin care line. Dr. Hauschka and Suki are two wonderful options. Both offer extensive choices in beauty and skin care products. Suki has a great Tinted Active Moisturizer with SPF 15. Below is a list of active ingredients which make it obvious why it's worth it to choose a natural skin care line:
- natural salicylic acid standardized from white willow – innovative and powerful, 20% potency significantly reduces inflammation, blemishing and helps prevent new breakouts, without the irritation & peeling effects caused by widely used and extremely harmful synthetic salicins.
- natural retinol liposome – our uniquely non-toxic natural retinol increases cell turnover and protects cells from free radical damage. renews and brightens skin’s surface and reduces the appearance of lines & wrinkles while stimulating collagen production.
- organic jojoba oil – from the wax of a jojoba nut, skin quickly absorbs this light moisturizer emollient as it softens & locks in moisture to protect the skin.
- organic rose extract – packed with antioxidants and essential fatty acids, this emollient promotes healing, softens skin, and reduces the appearance of hyper pigmentation, lines and wrinkles.
Tinted moisturizer is a great way to get even coverage without the build of both creamy foundation and SPF lotion. Also – it's a nice option to let your skin breathe once and while and not pile on product after product.
