Toning creams perfectly improve complexion and moisturize the skin. In addition, they are simply irreplaceable in the summer. Find out all about the composition of these funds and the secrets of their use.
Tinted (or toning) creams are a cross between skin care and makeup. They reduce morning training, moisturize, protect the skin, giving it a beautiful tone.
Composition
As a rule, it is a day cream with tinted pigments. Or, conversely, a foundation with a high content of moisturizing ingredients. Tinted creams exist either on their own or are part of beauty lines, having a similar composition with related creams. With the help of pigments, they give the face an even, healthy color.
Disadvantages
Daytime toning creams only moisturize and protect the skin. Don’t expect a rejuvenating or firming effect from them. In addition, their camouflaging ability is weak due to the low concentration of pigments.
Don’t try to mix day cream with foundation. The components of the first product will break the homogeneity and adhesion of the pigments of the second. And vice versa, tint, film and other components of the tone will disrupt the activity of the substances of the day cream. As a result, you will get a useless “putty”.
Using
The cream is applied in the morning, on cleansed and toned skin with your fingertips and lightly shaded. Since these funds do not undergo ophthalmological control, it is better not to apply them to the eyelids in order to avoid irritation.
Additionally
Be sure to powder: tinted creams do not matte the skin. Owners of oily skin should apply a matting agent for the T-zone over the tinting cream. This will prevent shine.
If in winter you are accustomed to using an anti-aging cream along with a foundation, try the “summer” version. Firming or anti-age serum plus toning. An effective combination!
By the way
All tinting creams contain SPF 15, thanks to which they perfectly protect the skin from aging. The cream looks much darker in the tube than on the skin.
Some tinted products contain substances that activate the production of melanin in the skin. Therefore, the face will look fresh after the evening make-up removal. And the skin will gradually prepare for the beach season.
Advantages and disadvantages
+
Toning creams are indispensable for a quick, natural make-up, as they do not leave streaks and are almost invisible. Would you like to make an “unpainted” impression? A little cream, coupled with lip balm and a light touch of mascara is what you need.
—
Compared to foundation, toning creams have a rather primitive composition. No bulky pigments, light-refracting particles or other stuff. Skin imperfections are poorly concealed, only highlighting the natural complexion. Not suitable for evening make-up.
