They say hitting your mid-30s means you have to put in a bit more effort to maintain that youthful, fresh-faced glow. I've always been fortunate with my skin - the occasional breakout and a touch of dryness, but nothing major. Despite this, I've always opted for full coverage foundation.
Why, you ask? Well, when someone saw me without makeup, they asked the same question. I didn't have a clear answer, but I suppose over the years, I've been drawn in by beauty adverts from big brands showcasing perfectly airbrushed skin. Now, at 36, I'm on the hunt for alternatives that offer a more natural finish.
I recently stumbled upon Dr Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm SPF50 £37 here. I gave it a go on a recent holiday (instead of my usual heavy foundation) and haven't looked back since. This lovely tinted beauty balm has now become a staple in my makeup bag, whether I'm at home or travelling.
This BB Cream is a skincare, makeup and SPF 50 all-in-one wonder. Having been fortunate enough to learn more about skincare from our savvy beauty team, I'm now more mindful of purchasing skincare products that offer more benefits, especially those containing SPF. This easy-to-apply balm not only evens out your skin tone but also moisturises, enhances the skin's barrier (essential if you have sensitive skin like me) and provides SPF 50 protection against UVA and UVB rays.
It's the ultimate multi-tasker for a natural makeup look - I never thought I'd say it, but I'm a convert. How do you use it? After toni.
