To clean: water rather than milk
Excess of sebum and sweating, to which is added the polluted atmosphere of large cities, can lead to the appearance of buttons and redness. So, even if we wear less makeup, we continue to cleanse our skin well morning and evening, choosing fresh textures such as waters and lotions, rather than a richer oil or milk. The right combination: a micellar lotion and one makeup remover two-phase for resistant eyeshadows.

To put on makeup: a tinted cream rather than a foundation
We swap his face powder, too covering, against a BB or a CC bronze cream, a special tinted treatment for summer which gives a healthy glow in transparency.
