Makeup that won't suffer a hot summer meltdown
As the weather gets warmer, a lot of women will start thinking about switching out their daily foundation for something lighter (and possibly with a higher SPF), as well as integrating a few new items into their makeup bags to help keep skin cool and oiliness at bay.
Sun protection is the most obvious and important component of summer cosmetics -– every time you step outside, not just for all-day excursions. “We all think that we can just get into our car and run a quick errand for half an hour and it’s no big deal,” says Tina Prande, esthetician and co-owner of Piele Skin Boutique in Beverly Hills. “But it’s so dangerous, not even just because of skin cancer, but also aging. I can definitely see a difference from the right side to the left side of my clients' faces. The left side has more sun damage from being exposed when driving.”
She advises layering the tinted SPF on top of your daily moisturizer ...Nude Skincare makes a good face moisturizer for oily skin or anyone who plans to spend some time in hot or humid weather. Their Moisture Balance face lotion ($68 at Space NK) is specifically formulated to control excess oil due to humidity and balance the skin’s moisture levels.
