Dewy, fresh skin in 120 degrees!
My skin has been terribly dehydrated in my desert, dry climate. Temperatures have been above 110, and it seemed like nothing I put on my face made my skin feel hydrated. In the middle of the day my skin felt like it was cracking...not good for keeping away wrinkles. This creamy foundation is incredibly soothing and it moisturizes all day long. It keeps my skin looking so fresh, and it got rid of all the sneaky dry spots on my face. This is luxury makeup - lovely coverage and finish plus keeps skin soft and supple.
