There are few things in life that make us happier than the first warm day of spring. But we confess that there’s always one tiny moment of sunshine-induced panic when we can’t help but think my skin is not ready!
That’s why this year we’re vowing to be ready for spring! We’re declaring September spring skin boot camp, just enough time to get our bodies ready for all those dresses.
Finding the perfect foundation can seem an impossible task – do you want full coverage or light coverage? Mattifying or dewy? And how to find your perfect shade match amidst the millions out there? – but the right fit is a true game-changer.
The correct foundation acts as a canvas for the rest of your make-up, concealing imperfections, unifying skin tone and creating a flawless finish. From Giorgio Armani’s barely-there Maestro to Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place, there’s a foundation to suit everyone – which explains why so many of them have achieved blockbuster status.
Here, we’ve rounded up 10 of our favourite formulas to try now.
When it comes to how many fine lines and wrinkles you’ll get, genetics are your skin’s number one enemy . But, number two? The air, pollution, blue light exposure, UVA/UVB rays, sleep deprivation, all count!
We all know about the damaging effects the sun can have on our skin, but the smog, particulate matter (minuscule particles of soot and dirt), and other grime in the air can also wreak havoc on skin. Overexposure to these toxins can lead to premature visible signs of ageing—the very fine lines and wrinkles you might be trying to avoid.
Becoming a recluse, avoiding mobile phones, computers and getting more sleep, is probably not a viable option for most of us! So, here’s the alternative solution: adding an anti-pollution product to your skincare routine. These antioxidant-rich formulas form an invisible shield between your skin and the air’s smog, debris, UVA/UVB and blue light, to prevent premature signs of aging caused by environmental factors.
