Using natural products ensures that the products will be safe and gentle on your skin. Protecting fair skin, and using the right products can make a fair complexion manageable and beautiful.

Though those with a fair skin tone may have heard it all their lives, using sunscreen is key when it comes to protecting a fair complexion and making sure porcelain skin stays healthy and glowing. Even if you are not directly exposed to the sun, you are still susceptible to a sun damage and taking these preventable measures is necessary. Often times, many people shun sunscreen for its scent or chalk-like look it leaves on skin, but now there are much better products on the market. Tinted sunscreens work to your advantage in so many ways. Not only do they act as an SPF but can also work just like your normal makeup foundation. Simply apply a product, such as OZNatural’s Age Defying Tinted 30 SPF Sunscreen, to your freshly washed face, neck, chest, and shoulders before applying the rest of your makeup.

The best way to test if a powdered foundation matches is to sample it on your hand, the inside of your wrist or on a patch of your chin and use your fingers to blend it in. If your powder is too dark it can increase the look of wrinkles and dark circles. On the other hand, if your powder is too light you can look ghostly or sick. Blending a tinted sunscreen with a make-up powder will minimize your chances of sun damage and leave your skin looking flawless. Just remember that it’s important to choose the right shade to match your fair complexion and not camouflage your natural beauty. You don’t have to hide your skin with layers of make-up to best protect it.
