This Makeup Doubles as Skincare to Cut Your Beauty Routine in Half
It’s not easy to simultaneously be a beauty lover trying to keep up with ever changing skincare trends and a girl on-the-go. 10-step routines simply do not fit in alongside a morning journaling or meditating session, workout, breakfast and commute to work. Luckily, switched-on beauty brands are throwing us a bone with newly formulated products that allow you to double down on skincare and makeup in a single step. They’re cutting our morning routines in half and you no longer have to haul your entire bathroom cabinet around if you’re hitting the gym before work.
1. Peter Thomas Roth Skin To Die For Mineral Matte CC Cream
BB and CC Creams are the perfect product to pack in skin-loving ingredients, thanks to their lighter coverage. When you’re not trying to completely hide pigmentation, you can actually treat it with this newbie from Peter Thomas Roth. It’s formulated with THD Ascorbate, an ingredient that is 50x more powerful than Vitamin C. Alongside Hyaluronic Acid to draw moisture to the skin and Kaolin Clay to absorb excess oil, the THD Ascorbate fights free radicals from the sun and pollution to reduce fine lines and fade pigmentation. It’s an all-round age fighting machine that actually has a beautifully radiant medium matte coverage and you can pick it up from your local Sephora.
