If you've made it this far into December without developing a dried-out complexion, consider yourself lucky. For everyone else, tight and flaky skin is par for the course. Or is it? Too many moisturizing creams feel heavy or greasy as they banish dry skin, but not Lumene Sensitive Touch 5 Minute SOS Cream ($20). Designed for sensitive skin types, this cream is free of parabens, silicones, fragrance, mineral oil, and alcohol. What its ingredient list does have, however, are anti-aging and moisturizing ingredients such as olive oil, shea butter, and linen extract. It's light enough to be worn under makeup, but it treats dryness and redness like a heavy-hitter. Plus, after two weeks of use, it hasn't set off my finicky, acne-prone complexion. Winter might be long this time around, but this time I'm ready.
Bellissima! Lumene Sun On The Go For Face & Lips SPF 40
This cute little two-in-one Lumene Sun on the Go Protective Sun Care For Face & Lips SPF 40 ($15.19) is a must-have product for a weekend away at the beach. In one shot, you get a tube of SPF 40 for your face as well as an SPF 40 lip balm.
The lotion is made with cloudberry seed to strengthen and protect your skin, carotenoids and omega 3 acids to reduce skin damage and antioxidants to fight off free radicals. So your skin will feel soft, smooth and protected from both UVA and UVB scary sun rays.
The creamy vanilla lip balm is the coolest part of the package. It's housed in its own area in the cap of the tube. And since it is infused with macadamia nut oil, it feels ultra soothing on your smackers!
Apply liberally anywhere from 20-40 minutes before going in the sun and since this formula isn't waterproof, you'll need to reapply immediately after being in the water.
