Your Guide to a UV-Free, Spring Glow with Tropic Skincare
Spring has finally arrived, and we’ve never felt so grateful to see the sun. We gleefully bid farewell to the dull hues and under-eye shadows that were obtained over the extended winter, welcoming a sun-kissed glow with open arms. However, despite craving the feeling of warmth on our bones, we wish to achieve this without increasing the signs of aging as well as the dangers of skin cancer. As a result, we’re pleased to share with you a start to finish routine for a risk-free spring-glow with Tropic Skincare.
Step 1- A Gradual Face-Tan
Whilst there is a desire for a healthy bronze during the spring months, there is a reluctance towards our usual way to fake it. As the temperatures rise and the weather gets more humid, the last thing we want is an uncomfortable layer of make-up over our complexions. We want our skin to breathe and faces to be fresh, however, we also want to conceal the visible signs of our vitamin D deficiency. But what if we told you there was a way to get a radiance that is entirely undetectable and risk-free? Tropic Skincare’s Sun Drops is a gradual tanning facial serum that can be applied before bed to develop into a subtle sun-kissed glow by morning.
Natural tanning agents mimic the colour of your skin’s own melanin for an even, natural look, while coconut water and aloe vera juice ensure the skin stays hydrated. Simply add a few drops into your moisturiser and blend it all in- the caramel extract will act as a colour guide to help you achieve a smooth, even coverage. Consider this certified-organic, customisable bronzing serum your very own sunshine in a bottle.
Step 2- SPF
At this point, we all know that SPF is a must, come rain, hail, or shine. Now, it’s simply a matter of choosing the right one for your summer regime. Susie Ma, CEO and founder of Tropic Skincare has shared some tips on how to find the perfect SPF fit. It is a product “you’ll wear every single day so consider texture, scent and how it’ll sit under your makeup, as well as how easy it is to reapply when you’ve been exposed to the sun.”
Before applying makeup, we’ll reach for the Sun Day facial UV defence as our first layer. With a delicious scent of bananas, this SPF glides onto the complexion, absorbing quickly to not only protect from daily UV damage, but add a hydrating, seamless base to apply make-up.
On warmer days when less is really more, Skin Shade takes the centre-stage. This tinted facial cream with SPF 50 not only protects the skin from sun damage, but has a silky smooth, easy-to-blend texture and pigment that quickly adapts to your skin tone to blur out any dullness or redness. The result? An even, weightless glow in one simple step, no foundation needed.
Step 3- Concealer
Lightweight concealer is the finishing touch to that lit-from-within complexion. After your SPF has been applied, apply a few dots under the eyes to instantly wipe away any hints of lack of sleep (or sunshine). We tend to reach for Tropic Skincare’s Illuma, a light-diffusing concealer that glides on and stays put without drying or settling into any creases. The light-weight formula is made with collagen-boosting algae extract, nourishing vitamin E and hydrating squalane, designed to brighten and unlock your natural radiance.
Step 4- Sun Cream
Last but not least, we have sun cream. Despite what many think, sun cream is not just a product to be bought on day one of a tropical holiday. In fact, you should always have a bottle in your bathroom cabinet at home. Should the sun peep out through the clouds during our British spring, those UV rays can be detrimental to both skin aging and risks of skin cancer. Ideal for all skin tones, Tropic Skincare’s reef-friendly, broad-spectrum, and water-resistant sun lotion uses super-safe mineral and chemical filters to defend against harmful UVA and UVB rays. The light, non-greasy formula sinks in easily, leaving an invisible finish with no chalkiness. Plus, thanks to its delicious vanilla ice cream scent, it’s a true delight to apply!
In conclusion, this spring, opt for a risk-free radiance. With Tropic Skincare’s extensive suncare range, a UV-free sun kissed glow has never been more attainable.
