We got a major heatwave here in Vancouver and my oily skin is suffering. Thankfully I’ve perfected a skincare and makeup routine that helps me beat this heat. For my oily skin, I can literally see oil seep through my pores like 3 hours after washing my face. But with my arsenal of products I’m able to look fresh for a large portion of my 8+ hour work day.
Here, I’m breaking down the key skincare and makeup products that keep me beat during the heat.
I love a good matte finish but this summer I’ve been really craving a dewy finish. But it’s hard creating that lit from within glow without looking like a grease ball.
Luckily, I’ve come across this KVD primer which claims to deliver hydration and a poreless soft finish for foundation to glide on.
Kat Von D Lock-It Hydrating Primer
Claims:
I am all about the matte finish because my skin literally looks like a grease pan 3hours after washing my face. But through a good skincare routine, I’ve been able to balance my skin out. But still, greasy looking skin is a battle I fight every day.
Luckily, I’ve found a great primer to help fight my oil wars! Although not perfect, this primer is highly effective.
BECCA Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector
Claims:
Sunscreen is the most important product in my beauty routine. Yes, my BHA, serums, retinols, etc. have given me healthy skin, but it’s a lost cause if I don’t protect it during the day.
There are so many different sunscreens on the market but for me, my current Holy Grail is the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Tinted Ultra-Fluid Lotion SPF 50. It checks off all my requirements: It’s (relatively) affordable, easily available, mineral SPF50, minimal white cast, non-irritating, non-greasy, and layers well with makeup.
I was going to repurchase it after running out but noticed La Roche-Posay have a new and interesting SPF out! Could this be my new drugstore Holy Grail?
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Tinted anti-aging primer SPF 50, $39 for 40ml.
