What you need, what you want, and what really works
A universally flattering shade, this limited-edition illuminating powder imparts a subtle peachy shimmer for a soft glow.
If powder blushers are your jam, turn up the heat with a vivid shade like this one from Shu Uemura, which has synthetic mica pigments that ensure great colour payoff even upon contact with perspiration.
This gel-oil hybrid keeps those puckers moisturised with nourishing raspberry seed oil, pomegranate extract, and vitamins A and E—all with a delicious shine.
Newsflash: Sunscreen plays just as important a role as water in helping to keep skin looking youthful and supple.And it doesn’t matter whether you’re indoor or outdoors—diligent sun protection is the way to go if you want to avoid premature skin ageing.The new technologies behind the latest sunscreens deliver perks beyond basic UV protection. Chanel’s Le Blanc UV Essential SPF 50/PA++++, for instance, is infused with potent antioxidants for defence against environmental pollution and oxidative stress, while keeping skin hydrated and healthy-looking. Working to keep skin moisturised is Decorte’s Sun Shelter Multi Protection SPF 50+/PA++++, which has a water-based formula that doesn’t feel heavy or greasy on skin, nor leaves that dreaded white cast when applied.Then there are the multi-action ones such as SK-II’s Atmosphere Airy Light UV Emulsion SPF 30/PA+++, which is fortified with the brand’s proprietary ingredient, Pitera, to plump, smooth and boost the skin’s resilience.There are even those that give skin a luminous glow while shielding it from UV rays and blue light, such as Glowscreen SPF 40 from Supergoop!, which can be worn on its own or under makeup.
