Beauty
It’s a first of its kind.
Living in New York City means you have to accept a few inevitable truths.
First, no matter how hard you try, youll always be at least 10 minutes late.
Secondly, you will at one point see your skin in its most dull, pale state.
But beauty is innovating every day.
This month, Allies of Skin launched sunless sunscreen that develops into a natural tan.
If it sounds too good to be true, thats because its the first of its kind.
Read on for everything you oughta know about the brands innovative launch.
Theres alsovitamin C, an antioxidant thatboosts the efficacy of the sunscreen, andgoji berry extractto support collagen production.
I was pleasantly surprised by how seamlessly it melted into my skin.
That said, the formula does lean a little greasy on my oily skin, especially right after system.
But honestly, it wasnt anything out of the ordinary compared to other sunscreens Ive tried.
Fortunately, it didnt translate to a shiny or overly slick look throughout the day.
Another major plus: It layered beautifully under my makeup with no pilling or uneven finishes.
The skin care-heavy formula alone made my complexion look way smoother and extra glowy.
Now for the tan of it all.
As mentioned, I typically avoid self-tanners.
I find them to result in a splotchy, not-right shade filled with patches.
But this isnt like a regular self-tanner.
After a few hours, I started to notice a subtle warmth creeping into my skin tone.
I was shocked at how subtle yet visible the difference was.
The best part of all is that I got my daily SPF in, too.
The Verdict
If youre a self-tanner lover, you might have mixed thoughts on this one.
It doesnt fully develop into a hardcore tan, but thats exactly what I love about it.
