Skin flaws? Mask them with this lotion
Our skin hasn’t seen the sun in months, and that pallid tone can bring flaws like age spots, spider veins and stretch marks into harsh focus. To conceal these imperfections quickly, makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan, who’s worked with Reese Witherspoon and Jessica Chastain, suggests covering them with a bronzing lotion. It adds an instant wash of naturallooking, sun-kissed color that camouflages discoloration likes spot and scars, while its warm, golden undertone cancels out the cool, blue tones in purple vein clusters. To do: Apply two pumps of a lotion (like SOL by Jergens Tone-Enhancing Body Bronzer, Target. com) to a tanning mitt (like Bondi Sands Self Tanning Application Mitt, CVS.com) and apply evenly to one body part at a time.
Toss in your bag: A loose powder bronzer. Simply mix with a dollop of SPF, then apply to skin. This gives skin a hit of bronzy color that makes flaws instantly recede.
