AN AWARD-WINNING PRODUCT PERFECT FOR SUMMER

Summer is supposed to be easy breezy, but sometimes our makeup routines are not. To streamline, there's an award-winning product that does a lot in one step: Intellishade Anti-Aging Moisturizer With Sunscreen.

What makes it different from other similar products on the market is that it comes in one shade that works on all skin tones. Plus, it conceals with a sheer mineral tint and protects from both UVA and UVB rays while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

It comes in two formulas, Original and Matte (Matte is our favorite). The Original has more of a moisturizing feel; the Matte contains ingredients that reduce pore size and absorb oil. Some people prefer to use the Original during colder months and Matte during warmer seasons. 

It costs $56 and is available at Charlotte Plastic Surgery, 704-237-0036.
