Fake It Until You Make It, No Sun Required Here

Often, we want things quickly and more often than not, instantly.

In make-up, it usually applies when we want that ‘just come back from the South of France for two weeks’ beautifully, bronzed glow but without the dreaded long-lasting sun damage. Unfortunately, healthy, naturally radiant skin doesn’t just ‘happen’ and it especially doesn’t just happen overnight, so- If your skin has been looking a little duller recently, and you’re looking for an instant fix (aren’t we all?)- Then you might need to fake it until you make it, but don’t worry, as we have the exact products to make it happen, right now.

 

1 . Start with a radiant, dewy base

Using Jane Iredale Blending Brush, gently buff Jane Iredale Glow Time BB Cream SPF 25 all over the complexion, or, just where you feel you need it. The BB Cream combines the properties of an ultra moisturising cream with a full coverage foundation to create an ultra glowy finish. The clever all-natural mineral pigments adjust to your unique skin colour to ensure a perfect application every time.

 

2 . Add a splash of colour to the complexion

Nothing instantly gives the skin a quicker ‘pick-me-up’ than an illuminating bronzer like Jane Iredale Peaches & Cream. Swirl a large powder brush across all four shades in the pan and then lightly sweep over the complexion. We recommend following where the sunlight would naturally hit you as an easy guide- the forehead, bridge of the nose, cheeks and cheekbones. You could also use it as a multi-use product as well and apply to the eyes and body too!

 

3 . Opt for a slightly more permanent option

A personal favourite of ours- simply mix a few drops of Swiss Clinic Self Tan Drops into your favourite moisturiser morning or evening and watch your tan develop without having to spend hours on end sunbathing! No need to worry about nasty fake tan smells either as these drops have a fresh, subtle scent to them. If you are an avid, regular self-tanner then apply the drops directly to your skin for a deeper, more intense colour!

 

4. The most important step of all....

Sunscreen is undoubtedly the most important step for almost all skin concerns but most definitely when combating complexion dullness. It must be worn all year round, no matter what the forecast says, and even if it is raining outside. UVA rays are present all year round, 365 days a year and are the reason for premature skin ageing but you won’t realise until many years later. UVB rays are the reason why you burn and know instantly which is why people tend to only apply sunscreen on days that the sun is strong. Colorescience Face Shield Glow SPF 50 offers the ultimate UVA & UVB sun protection with its anti-oxidant rich SPF 50 mineral formula while also giving the skin a lit-from-within glow using its flattening soft peach undertone at the same time. It is well-loved here at Dermacare Direct amongst staff and customers alike, which is why it is one of our Top 5 best-sellers across the website!
