BB Cream vs Tinted Moisturizer
So, what's the difference between BB creams and tinted moisturizers anyway? And how do you know which one is right for you? The answer depends on what you're using them for!
What's The Difference?
BB Creams are a one-stop-shop with a little bit of everything all mixed in. They usually contain SPF, anti-aging ingredients, primer, and also act as a foundation with light to medium coverage ☀️. BB creams are perfect for the days you still want a full makeup look but might not have the time to do your entire routine.
Tinted moisturizers on the other hand, are mainly focused on hydration with the addition of minimal coverage and sometimes SPF. They are great for light coverage and can be worn on their own or under your foundation, while BB creams usually stand alone.
When To Use Tinted Moisturizer :
We love tinted moisturizers because not only are they lightweight and ultra-hydrating, they also give you radiant sheer coverage. Tinted moisturizers are perfect for days you don't want to wear a full face of makeup but still want to put your best face forward!
Radiance Tinted Moisturizer
Our supercharged Radiance Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 46 is rich with antioxidants, oil-free, and is fast absorbing to give your skin a boost while evening out the complexion and reducing redness. Its universal color adapts to the complexion of the wearer, while moisturizing, smoothing, and restoring the skin. Did we mention that its mattifying?

Cleansing Your Skin Before Bed - It Matters!
We know you've heard it before - sleeping in your makeup is one of the worst things you can do to your skin. But what about just washing your face? What you might not know is that sleeping in your makeup or not cleansing your skin before bed - even for just one night - might seem harmless, but over time it can cause extensive damage to your skin.
As you sleep, your skin takes the time to renew itself. When your skin is coated with a layer of, usually oily, makeup or residue from the way, pores get clogged which can lead to breakouts. When the pores are clogged, the skin can't renew itself, causing it to look fatigued, maybe even aiding in the creation of fine lines and wrinkles.
Our solution?
Our Mandelic Acid 5+ Re-texturizing Pads. Easily minimize the appearance of pores while exfoliating and brightening skin. These pads tackle a range of skin woes - from acne to hyperpigmentation to aging - and are best used after washing your face in the evening.

Did we mention...
Mandelic acid is a natural anti-bacterial solution. This combats clogged pores while boosting cell regeneration and elasticity. The result? Say goodbye to wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots.
Tips & Tricks...
Everyone's skin is different, so use every other day to start.
Step 1
Wipe pad across forehead with moderate pressure (not too much at first!). From the forehead, move to cheek and down to jawline. Then wipe pad upward to cheek.
Step 2
Repeat on other side of face.
Step 3
Last, apply to nose and chin. Careful around corners of mouth and corners of nose, where skin is more sensitive. *Do not use more than once a day if skin around the mouth is too sensitive.

Want Amazing Skin? Add This to Your Skincare Routine
You need to add Mandelic acid into your skincare routine. Here's why...
Mandelic acid is a powerful, yet gentle acid that goes to battle with the oil, acne, and bacteria that disrupts the skin’s natural glow. Mandelic acid also provides a slight exfoliation, dislodging dead skin cells to loosen clogged pores and penetrating the skin to boost cell regeneration and skin elasticity.
What does all of this mean? If you struggle with blemishes, oily skin, dark spots, fine lines, acne or aging skin (so pretty much everyone!), then Mandelic acid is a must in your skincare routine.

Take Care of Your Eyes and Neck
Revolutionary Eye + Neck Complex
Combat dark circles and frail skin.
It's time to talk about taking care of some of your most delicate skin - under your eyes and your neck. While we might not be able to help you get more sleep every night, we can help you tackle those pesky dark circles and frail neck skin. Our Intensive Eye & Neck Complex contains Swiss apple stem cells paired with retinol and tripeptide molecules to provide the newest, most potent technology to transform areas around the eyes, neck, and chest for noticeable results.
Adding our Intensive Eye & Neck Complex is just step one in enhancing your skincare routine. Here are a few other tips for treating your delicate skin well.
Be gentle when applying cream to the fragile skin under your eyes and neck. Always pat product into your skin instead of rubbing.
Also be gentle when removing makeup. We suggest using a makeup remover to gently wipe off makeup. Again, don't tug and pull the gentle skin.
Protect your skin with SPF. Make sure to protect delicate skin with our Vitamin C+ Sheer Defense SPF 30. Pat along your eye (but careful not to get it in your eyes!) and neck area.
Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated. Caffeinated beverages and alcohol dry out the skin and should be consumed in moderation.
