8 Summer Beauty Bummers -- SolvedQuickly conquer all the ouches, itches and ews that come with hot, sticky weather |
A burned-to-a-cherry-tomato-red face That blazing sunburn on your stomach or back can easily be covered up when you're not beachside, but a burnt face is a different story. To tone down your sunburned hue, makeup artist Misha Shahzada, of Artist & Agency says you need to rethink your regular skin care plan.
Skip your regular moisturizer if it's full of emollients like petroleum jelly or silicones, which can further irritate damaged skin. Instead, apply one that's formulated with natural moisturizing humectants, like aloe vera, or one with lactic acid, which will help turn over your damaged cells more quickly. To protect your extra-tender skin from further damage, use a sunscreen like, Dermalogica Super Sensitive Shield, $48, which is free of irritating chemicals. Or, try Avene Antirougeurs Day Redness-Relief Soothing Cream SPF 25, $36, which has a green tint to help mask redness.
To even out the redness, apply a yellow-based mineral foundation or powder, or a bronzer. Just be sure to skip anything shimmery, which will only make your burn more noticeable. Image Source: Pinterest
