Cc cream and spf advise

7 replies

Hello,

Does anyone have advice please / can recommend some makeup?
I work full time and have a toddler so want to quicken my morning routine as primer/foundation/concealer/powder/blush etc. is taking too long.

I'd like to just use one layer if possible and to replace foundation with a cream/something that can just be applied with fingers. It needs to be at least SPF 30, would a cc cream/tinted moisturiser itself provide enough spf protection? I don't understand how to re-apply a separate sunscreen used under makeup, so want something that already includes spf that I could just add another layer of during the day if needed.

I looked at It cosmetics cc cream but it looks really thick and needs to applied carefully with a brush? Also loads of harsh chemicals in the ingredients.
Also looked at Erborian and Bareminerals tinted moisturiser but whatsinmyjar.com points out the spf in it isn't enough to actually provide any protection.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance!

Clinique Super City Block Broad Spectrum 40. It's a mineral sunscreen and very good. That said, I can feel it 'being good' on my skin, as it were - but if you want it to work properly it's not going to glide on and feel like nothing.

I've looked at this and came to the conclusion that I'd end up wearing too much CC cream/tinted moisturiser to actually get the SPF stated.

I've just ended up with sunscreen with very high SPF and broad spectrum and Erborian CC cream and reapplying just the CC cream in the day if necessary.

Ah ok thanks for advice. What sunscreen do you use?

It's the Typology SPF 50 for face, although I also like the La Roche Posay invisible liquid 50+

I go for a tinted SPF rather than a tint with spf if that makes sense. So look at the skincare brands rather thN makeup ones. I use Ultrasun, Supergoop and La Roche Posay on rotation.

I use Erborian CC (really easy to apply, no careful brushing needed) and Skin1004 Water Fit sunscreen, it's super light and can be used both under or over the CC cream.
