CC cream is widely used on the runways now in lieu of traditional, cakey foundations — get the glow at home!
There’s been a lot of buzz in the past couple years about BB and CC creams, and many wonder if these so-called miracle solutions will help them achieve the glowing skin we all desire. I have to admit I too approached the concept with a degree of skepticism, especially as I tend to favor more coverage. But radiance can be yours with the right product and method.
I am currently in the throes of a love affair with Lumene’s Time Freeze Anti-Age CC Cream. This gentle solution helps create a brighter, calmer skin tone while fighting the peskiest signs of aging. It works as a 6-in-1 formula carrying out the following functions for summer-perfect skin: primer, concealer, foundation, illuminator, longwear formula, and SPF 20 to protect you from the sun’s rays. The product utilizes arctic lingonberry to deliver a heavy does of omega fatty acids to repair age damage and increase skin’s elasticity. Vitamin C neutralizes free radicals and boosts collagen synthesis while broad spectrum UV filters defend against environmental aggressors.
My favorite thing about this skin saver is that it lets your natural beauty shine, like her freckles, while still allowing soft coverage to conceal signs of aging.
What I love about the CC cream is that it neutralizes any redness or blotchiness on my face but allows natural traits to show. This summer, I’ve got a hefty dose of freckles that I think are super-cute to show off; they show through this light coverage but my undereye circles and fine lines are hidden. Success! Check out these tips on using the CC cream to maximize your summer beauty:
1. Use Time Freeze CC cream in a 1:1 ratio with moisturizer or luminizer of choice and apply with warm fingertips in a circular motion allover your face for daily, glowing skin
2. Mix it with beauty oil for dry and mature skin types; this gives an added punch of moisturizer
3. Try a lighter shade to highlight brow bones and cupid’s bow as well as upper cheekbones
4. Use it to mute lips, then applying a vibrant pink or coral lipstick for a stunning pop of color
5. Mix it with your favorite blush to create a faint flush of the skin
