Foundation spf 50

During the hot season, the skin is exposed to additional harmful effects of sunlight. During this period, it needs special care; in its absence, the structure of the skin is gradually destroyed, photoaging occurs, general condition deteriorates, wrinkles form, etc. The use of a special sunscreen for the face will help cope with this issue. And foundation with SPF is a solution to two problems at once.

What is foundation with SPF?

Initially, foundation is a cosmetic makeup product that allows you to even out your complexion and disguise visible imperfections in the skin. The presence of SPF (Sun Protection Factor) in it also adds a sun protection function, which in turn helps prevent premature skin aging, the formation of wrinkles and even malignant formations.

In descriptions of foundations there are two terms: cream and foundation. It is worth noting that there is no functional difference between them. Just the name of the product in English - foundation - literally translates as foundation. And the level of protection of the foundation from UV rays does not depend in any way on the applicable name.

Is the protection of such a remedy effective?

The level of protection effectiveness of a foundation with SPF is influenced by several factors:

1. Correct application. In fact, the sun protection function of the product lasts for 2-3 hours, after which the composition disintegrates. You should take this interval into account and renew the product on your face after it has expired. And the effect of the filters begins only after 20–30 minutes of application.
2. Availability of additional filters. SPF only blocks UVB rays (they cause darkening of the skin tone by stimulating the production of melanin, can lead to sunburn, and are refracted in the shadows and under clothing). To neutralize the effect of more dangerous UVA rays (this type penetrates deeply into the skin, despite all obstacles, provoking the formation of free radicals, disruption of cellular structure, photoaging and other harmful processes), it is necessary to have PPD filters in the cosmetic product (they can be identified by the broad marks spectrum, PPD, PA, letter A in a circle).
3. SPF index selection. It is a mistaken belief that the higher the SPF, the longer you can stay in the sun. The difference between the values ​​for example: SPF 50 blocks 98% of radiation, and SPF 100 blocks 99%. The value of the factor should be selected taking into account the skin phototype - the lighter it is, the higher the number. That is, you don’t need to hope that a high SPF cream will work all day.

The most effective protection is provided by products with an SPF/PPD ratio of 3 or less. Sometimes it is indicated on the packaging with the symbol “PA+, ++, +++”.

Table: advantages and disadvantages of foundations with SPF

Types of foundation with SPF

The range of foundation creams is huge. Sometimes the purchased product does not meet expectations: it acts as a mask, leaves an oily sheen, or, on the contrary, dries out the skin too much. In order for makeup to look natural and not cause harm to the skin, you need to choose the appropriate type of foundation.

Purpose

The main purpose of foundation is, of course, toning. However, for ideal compatibility of the product with the skin, it must meet the individual criteria of the latter:

1. Type:

1. for normal skin, you can choose products of light and medium consistency with nourishing and moisturizing properties;
2. in case of increased dryness, you need to use light textures with moisturizing components (hyaluronic acid, natural oils, glycerin, etc.);
3. for oily types, thick creams with a mattifying effect without adding oils and with sebum-regulating substances are suitable;
4. problematic requires the use of cosmetics marked “non-comedogenic.”

Release form

Technology does not stand still, and foundations have long been produced not only in cream form. And this is not just done for variety; each type has its own background.

Cream is a classic, familiar option to everyone. Its texture is relatively dense, contains a lot of coloring pigment, and hides skin imperfections well. There is a choice regarding skin type with the presence of additional caring components.

1. Vichy Foundation with high coverage Dermablend 3D SPF 25. Price: 1700 rubles (30 ml). Provides long-lasting makeup for up to 16 hours, covering all skin imperfections without a mask effect. The product is non-comedogenic and is intended for oily and problematic skin prone to acne.

Good afternoon In this review we will talk about the Max Factor brand foundation with the long and promising name Facefinity all day flawless 3in1 foundation. I first tried this foundation in 2012, when I was still a high school student with oily problem skin and a desire not to shine like a pancake during the day. The cream is easy to distribute with a brush, sponge or fingertips. Coverage: medium density. When layering, you don't get a dense coating. The cream hides redness well, but I still use concealer for bright spots. The cream does not clog into pores, does not cause subcutaneous acne and is ideal for problematic skin, evens out the skin and creates a matte effect for the whole day. In addition, it does not oxidize. The product has a completely matte finish and does not require additional powder. This cream does not fulfill the promised function of a primer: it does not hide dark circles under the eyes and pimples when layered! After 6 years, I was forced to give up this cream due to the fact that over such a period of constant use it simply dried out the skin. It went from oily and shiny to dry and flaky.

Fluid

The fluid has a very light, delicate, melting texture. The coverage of this type of foundation is average: it can easily even out the tone of the face and hide mild redness, but it cannot cope with rashes and acne. The composition contains more water than oils, so use is preferable in the warm season.

1. Pierre Rene Foundation Lift Advanced SPF 15. Price: 823 rubles (30 ml). Designed for aging skin, has a lifting effect and moisturizes well. Lays down with a dense coating, masks imperfections, and also protects from sunlight.

The Pierre Rene Professional Advanced Lift foundation has both many advantages and one big disadvantage. I'll tell you what skin type it is for. The consistency is moderately liquid, not water at all. Since our cream is intended more for aging skin, it should accordingly moisturize. And this point is present. I just love nice moisturizers. Traces naturally remain on the phone. But why did I get a C? I'll explain now. There are only 3 shades, it’s not enough, you can’t really go wild. I have 03 NUDE, the lightest in the line. What I want to say is that at first glance it seemed ideal to me. I applied it with my fingers using tapping movements, everything was perfectly disguised, the cream did not emphasize the pores (as Lumene Blur does), but on the contrary, they seemed to be erased and hidden. The feeling was very pleasant. The smell stopped being felt after 20 seconds. BUT after 10 minutes I went to the mirror to powder my face, fix my makeup and was honestly stunned! Why did my face become so red? After all, everything was fine and the shade of my face matched the tone of my neck (I didn’t smudge it). This cream has oxidized so much. I dare say that my tanned skin already has a yellow undertone. So the shade NUDE is not nude at all. It’s not even close to being for fair-skinned people. But it all started well, the fluid perfectly hides imperfections: acne, pores, and fine wrinkles.

Mousse (foam)

Mousse is a very light cream, whipped to an almost weightless soufflé state. It evens out the tone well, but does not mask well. Suitable for smooth and healthy skin - it will refresh it and add radiance; it will not be able to hide rashes and redness with its help. Good for daily use because it does not weigh down makeup and does not clog pores.

It's rare to find a foundation that contains SPF. One of these products that has UV filters is La Roche-Posay Toleriane Teint Mattifying Mousse Foundation SPF 20. Its price is 2,230 rubles (30 ml). It will be an ideal option for sensitive, combination and oily skin. The mousse is rich in active absorbents that help maintain a matte complexion throughout the day. The manufacturer claims that the product is sweat-resistant.

Review: La Roche-Posay Toleriane Teint Mattifying Mousse Foundation SPF 20 - This is the best foundation in the world. The mousse lays on the skin in a thin layer. By the way, it spreads perfectly with both fingers and a brush. But at the same time, it covers redness and severe defects quite well. I rarely get acne; my main problems are blackheads and freckles. Therefore, this cream does not look very impressive on my skin. The cream is almost perfect to wear. It’s quite durable and doesn’t creep even in my T-zone, which is quite oily. The mousse gives a matte finish, but the face does not look like a mask. The mousse is washed off in any way - both with a regular “wash” and with micellar water. There were no problems while using this product. The general condition of the skin has not changed - the blackheads are still there, but no new ones have appeared. And no acne occurred. There is only one minus - the rather high price for 30 ml of the product.

Cream powder (compact tone)

From the name of the cream powder, it is easy to guess that it combines a creamy pigmented base with the addition of powder. The texture of this version of the foundation is quite dense, the camouflage ability is high. Therefore, it is recommended to use for evening makeup. It will be a little heavy for daily use, but in the presence of pronounced skin defects it can be a salvation in this case too.

Protection from sun rays is provided by compact cream powder Mac Mineralize Foundation SPF 15. You can buy it for 2990 rubles (10 g). Lays down in a damp, silky layer of medium density. Suitable for all skin types, especially dull and dry skin.

I bought Mac Mineralize Foundation SPF 15 cream powder on the advice of a consultant. On the MAC website it is written that this is a cream-powder, but I think it can also be called a foundation)) After using it, I didn’t really understand it at first, as it lay strangely on the skin - like a sticky layer... I was disappointed, but that’s all I also used it, dusting it on top. But then I tried to apply it without face cream, and the effect was COMPLETELY different. At the same time, she herself moisturized the skin quite well and delicately masked any redness around the nose (as usual...) and other minor troubles on the face. Therefore, the conclusion is that if you apply cream to it, it may behave rather inappropriately, and you may quickly be disappointed in advance! Further, no matter how hard I tried, it is still somewhat visible in the pores, and this is what upsets me the most... miiiiinus( Then it is declared as a cream-powder for dry skin, but at the same time it can emphasize flaking!( That is, with moisturizing cream - it begins to behave inappropriately, and without the cream all the peeling will be emphasized (Sadness( Result: Still, whatever one may say, there are more disadvantages (( In principle, the foundation is not bad, not the worst, but these shortcomings, although not super significant, but spoil the impression and discourage the desire to buy it again (The rest, again, is a matter of choice and taste. And of course, skin type.

Cushion

An unusual presentation - a cushion - is a sponge generously soaked in foundation. To get a portion of the product, you just need to press on it. Content can have different textures and purposes.

1. Lancome Teint >
   
   
   
   

Today my review is about the foundation concealer from the Korean brand Missha. For myself, I highlighted the following advantages of this Cushion: + Light texture + Covering ability (for minor imperfections) + Evens out the overall skin tone + No feeling of tightness or stickiness during application + Smooth coverage + Moisturizing + Porcelain complexion and radiant finish + SPF and PA+++ Protection + An interesting approach to creating packaging + The ability to replace the refill cartridge without purchasing the entire product Disadvantages of the product: - Emphasizes flaking and folds of the skin - Longevity - The sponge quickly becomes unusable Overall, I’m happy with the product and don’t quite understand why it caused problems some negative emotions. Perhaps people simply chose the wrong product for their skin type and the result was so bad? Or maybe we’re just not used to innovation? I think that the price-quality ratio of this product is adequate and I advise you to buy it. You will get the look of a fresh, rested and well-groomed face.

The foundation stick has a very dense texture, due to which it has high masking properties. It will help hide even the most pronounced skin defect. But at the same time it is difficult for the skin, complicating cellular respiration. Therefore, it is recommended to use sticks only occasionally, on special occasions or specifically in certain areas.

Sun protection stick Foundation SPF 30 Shiseido Sun Protection Stick Foundation SPF 30 provides natural coverage without greasy shine, with a moisturizing effect, and protection against photoaging of the skin. Suitable for all skin types, does not clog pores, waterproof. Can be purchased for 800 rubles (9 g).

Camouflage (make-up)

Cream camouflage has a very thick consistency, it is dominated by coloring pigments, water-repellent silicones and dense waxes. It has the maximum masking ability of all types of foundations, “erasing” pigment spots, moles and even scars from the face. It is difficult to apply, lasts a long time, and can only be washed off with special products.

1. Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover Camouflage Makeup for Face and Body SPF15 Camouflage foundation for face and body “Maximum Coverage”. Price: 2362 rubles (30 ml). It has a light (for camouflage) consistency, lays on the skin in an even layer and lasts up to 12 hours. Reliably masks imperfections and looks natural.

There are many types of foundations; from a wide range you can choose the ideal option for any skin type. And each variety contains products that contain SPF, which will help protect your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays.

SPF 50, among the protection levels presented by manufacturers, is almost the maximum factor that can prevent the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation even on the hottest sunny days. However, unlike their counterparts with a lower digital index, face creams with SPF 50, as a rule, have a thicker, dense texture.

As a result, after applying the cream, an unpleasant oily film may form on the skin, which subsequently leads to clogging of pores. This is why products with a high degree of protection are not recommended by cosmetologists as facial cosmetics. Such products are especially contraindicated for those with oily or combination skin prone to the formation of various comedones, pimples and blackheads.

In addition, sunscreens with SPF 50 contain a much larger number of chemical components that can provoke an allergic reaction. The powerful concentration of filters, in addition to the protective function, also has a number of serious disadvantages. The main disadvantage of cosmetics with high SPF is the negative impact on the human body due to the increased content of chemicals. Therefore, before giving preference to any product, it is recommended to pay special attention to the composition of this product.

What should be included in a sunscreen?

Sunscreen creams may contain two types of components:

1. special filters (based on organic compounds) - have the maximum effect, but despite this, they often become the culprits of allergic intolerance. Cosmetologists advise avoiding sunscreens that contain retinol, palmitate or padretinol. As it turned out, these components provoke the occurrence of cancer;
2. screens – reflect solar radiation due to the presence of inorganic solid microparticles.

Also, high-quality sun protection products should be enriched with useful components that normalize the natural process of regeneration of epithelial cells. These ingredients include panthenol, plant extracts and non-comedogenic nourishing oils.

Based on recent research, scientists have proven that vitamin A, which is part of protective creams, and its derivatives, when interacting with ultraviolet radiation, can cause skin cancer.

Retinol is considered a powerful antioxidant with an effective anti-aging effect. However, for greater safety, it is recommended to use skincare products containing vitamin A at night.

Protection from other types of radiation

Type C radiation, which poses the most serious threat to humans, is neutralized by the ozone layer, so this type of ultraviolet radiation cannot harm our skin. However, UVA and UVB rays still reach the surface of the earth, and, therefore, can cause significant damage to human health.

Of particular danger is UVA radiation, which acts painlessly, but at the same time penetrates into the deep layers of the skin, which greatly disrupts the hydrolipid balance. This type does not cause burns, unlike UVB rays, so a person does not feel the harmful effects of such ultraviolet radiation at all. It is UVA radiation that promotes the development of cancer cells, which subsequently develop into malignant melanoma.

Who should use cream with SPF 50?

When choosing a sunscreen, you should take into account the characteristics of your own phototype. Experts identify two categories of people most prone to sunburn:

1. First phototype. People with fair skin with freckles and red hair. Such people burn most easily, so they should never be in the sun for more than 5 minutes without special protection.
2. Second phototype. Light-haired blondes or brown-haired women who have a very light skin tone. They are not recommended to stay in the sun for more than 20 minutes without using sunscreen.

For people belonging to these types, cosmetic products with the maximum level of protection are recommended. Also, such products are indicated for owners of hyperpigmented skin and children under ten years of age.

In today's article, we have compiled a list of the most effective creams with SPF 50, which are distinguished by their safe composition and light, pleasant consistency. Find out about the best spf sunscreens for the face here.

Features of foundation with SPF 50

Light-eyed blondes—representatives of phototypes I–III—should first of all think about purchasing a foundation with the option of sun protection. If you don’t yet know what phototype you belong to, take our test, and after that choose cosmetics.

The main feature of foundations with SPF is that the actual evening out of skin tone is a kind of bonus, an addition to sun protection, and often to other functions:

“In the summer, you can change your thick foundation to a more airy toning or BB cream; in hot weather they are more comfortable.”

In short, this is a product for the summer, when a powerful sun protection factor is absolutely necessary. In addition, the usual foundation may be too thick for the hot season, when the skin sweats and shines more often.

To summarize, foundation with SPF 50 is needed in the following cases:

with increased photosensitivity (typical for fair-skinned people);

to protect against hyperpigmentation;

as functional cosmetics (sun protection and prevention of wrinkles caused by photoaging).

Composition of foundations with SPF 50

Sun filters

Antioxidants

Humidifiers

Combining moisturizing ingredients with sunscreens makes perfect sense. Under the influence of UV rays, the skin loses moisture, causing the protective hydrolipid mantle to weaken.

City or beach

“Toning products with SPF are suitable for both the city and seaside holidays. But I’m not sure that anyone would want to do makeup before going to the beach,” says expert Elena Alekseeva.

Update

Experts have found that, on average, sun protection needs to be reapplied after 2 hours. This means that it needs to be updated regardless of the presence of tinting pigments if you are outdoors. Follow the manufacturer's directions.
