Concealers are like God’s gift because they can help cover dark under-eye circles, blemishes, and discoloration. Most people think a concealer is only to be used under your eyes, but in reality, it can be used on your entire face. Not only does a concealer hide any imperfections, but it can also contour your face and make you look more awake. And, who doesn’t want to look bright and beautiful every morning even if you didn’t quite get your eight hours of sleep?
According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, sun protection is the most important skincare step. It helps prevent signs of aging, discoloration, and, most importantly, protects you against skin cancer, including melanoma. Since using skincare products with SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is essential and a concealer is vital for all makeup routines, why not invest in a concealer with SPF?
Rhode Island-based dermatologist Tiffany Jow Libby told Allure, “I see many patients come in with skin cancer on the eyelids and around the eyes, so if you have sensitive skin, stick with mineral SPFs in this area.” Do we need more reasons to invest in a concealer with SPF? Make sure to hydrate the area under your eyes with a moisturizing eye cream and add a primer so you have a smooth base to work on where your concealer can last all day without budging.
