Eye creams, throat crèmes, face serums and lotions. The market is glutted with so many choices. How does one know what to wear and when?
The ACS says to avoid being outdoors in sunlight in the middle of the day when ultra-violet light is most intense.
Betcher’s regime includes using a tinted moisturizing lotion with an SPF in it. That way she gets the moisturizing benefits from the lotion combined with protection and doesn’t need to layer on a foundation over it for color. It’s a perfect time-saver. She follows up with a dusting of a bronzer, a light sweep of blush and a little under eye concealer to cover the damage done by those sleepless nights.
