Makeup base Oclipse Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30, ZO Skin Health

I am for multifunctional products. This is a universal shade of color primer and sunscreen that can be used every day if desired. Unlike regular sunscreen, it does not leave white spots on the face. It contains 8.2% titanium dioxide (protects against UV rays) and vitamin E (works as an antioxidant). Apply primer 15 minutes before sun exposure. On vacation, update it every two hours. In the city, the product can be used as a makeup base.

CC cream CC Natural Beige Cream SPF 30, Dermaheal

I use this Korean cream myself. Suitable for all skin types and seasons. Available in two shades - dark and natural beige.

The cream evens out the tone, moisturizes the skin and protects from ultraviolet rays. Among the components are oligopeptides. They prevent the appearance of age spots, have an anti-inflammatory effect, stimulate the production of collagen, and smooth the relief. By the way, the company Caregen, which produces Dermaheal products, has developed and patented 72 peptides. In hot weather, the cream can shine, so apply over the powder.

Repairing balm Expert Recover Balm SPF30 PA ++, Sferangs

This product also passed my sensitive mixed skin test. The balm evens out the tone, masks unevenness and moisturizes. Apply to cleansed skin morning and evening. In the composition of plant extracts of flowers mallow, peony lactiflora, tomato.

Correcting balm Derma Blemish Balm, Cell Fusion C

I recommend this product of the Korean brand Cell Fusion C to clients after invasive cosmetic procedures: biorevitalization, mesotherapy and others. One of the main tasks is to improve cell regeneration. Its use is a guarantee that you will not have dryness and flaking after the procedure with a beautician.

The balm will help out if you have sensitive skin with irritations - it will relieve redness and inflammation and protect against pigmentation (for this, there is arbutin in the composition). Aloe vera juice, ailant and matricaria extracts have a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect. Use it daily - apply to cleansed skin.

Foundation for makeup Maestro UV Skin Defense Primer SPF 50, Giorgio Armani

Many have heard about Giorgio Armani foundations, but I want to recommend the primer that the Giorgio Armani brand released in 2016. It's perfect for the summer! The product is light, applied with a pipette, evenly distributed over the skin, making it velvety. It contains a powerful filter - SPF 50. The product is also suitable for sensitive skin. Unlike other similar primers, Maestro moisturizes without leaving a greasy oily sheen and absorbs quickly.

Hydreane BB Сreme, La Roche-Posay

I recommend this product to owners of normal to dry skin. After application, it leaves a moist, natural glow that oily skin with enlarged pores does not need (I talked about creams for oily skin here). The cream has a dense consistency, but it is evenly distributed on the face, masking redness. If you do not have any expressed problems, in the summer in the city, the product can be used as a tone - SPF 20 will protect against UV rays. Hydrolipids, apricot kernel oils, maize oils, shea butter moisturize and nourish the skin.
