In the weeks when the sun shines, let’s forget about damaging rays and instead bask in its positive powers. Psoriasis and eczema are calmed, spots dry up, vitamin D boosts cell growth and serotonin regulates our physical and mental state. The golden glow that develops erases exhaustion and replaces it with a youthful vibrancy that should not be hidden with heavy foundation. Tinted moisturisers are a blend of moisturiser and foundation, lightweight and comfortable to wear in the heat while providing sufficient coverage to blur any imperfections.
