This edition of beauty try is all about sun protection, ease and lightweight products. With the temperature rising, most people are opting for a natural look when it comes to makeup. Layering heavy foundations and products on your face can reek havoc on your skin causing breakouts.
I tried Dermalogica’s new Protection Sport sunscreen and their After Sun Repair cream. The formula is lightweight, waterproof and filled with lipid-rich olesome microspheres. The sunscreen is so lightweight that I forgot I even had it on at times. The best part is it doesn’t feel greasy or thick and can be worn with makeup!
The Protection Sport sunscreen and After Sun Repair go so well together you can’t really have one and not the other. Even with sunscreen, the extreme heat can cause some redness on my skin, especially around my nose. The After Sun Repair cools skin down with a blend of chamomile, cucumber, lavender, yucca, clove and Szechwan pepper. Both products are great for daily runs, a day at the beach or if you’re out on the water.
If you want some coverage for summer, the Skin Perfect Primer from Dermalogica is what you’ve been searching for. When I first tried the product, I couldn’t even believe it was on my skin, it felt silky without leaving my skin feeling greasy. The primer provides SPF30 and fills in fine lines and absorbs excess oil. The best part is you only need a small amount for a flawless glow.
Stay hydrated during the summer heat wave and remember that you don’t have to sacrifice protection for beauty!
