So summer is here. I love almost everything about summer-morning sun rays, watermelons, ice creams and of course vitamin D. but what I don’t like is high temperatures that dissolve makeup from your face.

I knooooow we should let the skin rest in the sun without the makeup so I tried to find something that looks natural but I didn’t want anything too expensive so my sister recommended Essence tinted day cream.

“Tinted day cream with light coverage. It is mattifying, waterproof and creates the perfect “no make up look”. Ideal for your next workout. Moisturizing and with protective UVA/UVB filters.” -writes on the product.

Ingredients: AQUA (WATER), ISODODECANE, C12-15 ALKYL BENZOATE, TALC, ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE,OCTOCRYLENE,GLYCERIN,BUTYL METHOXYDIBENZOYLMETHOANE,CYCLOPENTASILOXANE,SILICA,POLYGLYCERYL-4 ISOSTEARATE,PROPANEDIOL,CETYL PEG/PPG-10/1 DIMETHICONE,HEXYL LAURATE,SILICA DIMETHYL SILYLATE, LAURYL PEG/PPG-18/18 METHICONE,TITANIUM DIOXIDE (NANO), DISTEARDIMONIUM HECTORITE,ALCOHOL,ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN,SIMETHICONE,COCO-GLUCOSIDE,BHT,TRIETHOXYCAPRYLYLSILANE,BENZOPHENONE,ALUMINA,CI77499 (IRON OXIDES), CI 77891 (TITANIUM DIOXIDE).

The first thing I noticed is the large letters that say YOU BETTER WORK. I think we all whisper those words in our heads before we buy anything. It is a good strategy.

The second thing is that I was surprised how soft the skin is after this cream. The skin is very soft but not oily. I feel like I have nothing on my face.

The smell is mild it’s not heavy at all. The texture is quite liquid, it’s very easy to apply. All in all, is not a bad product. A big plus is that it protects the skin.

I will continue to use this cream for sure.

Have you ever tried Essence products?
