Have you acquired a few new acne scars after sweaty summer workouts? Maybe you’re noticing a few new freckles or dark spots after too much time in the sun. Either way, you might find yourself wondering how to even out skin tone from sun damage and more as we head into this post-summer transition time. Luckily, Dermablend has you covered—literally. We’ll walk you through how to even out skin tone and reduce redness in four steps:

• Prep your skin with the perfect primer
• Achieve a flawless finish with foundation
• Camouflage problem spots with concealer
• Cleanse with makeup remover before bed

Prep Your Skin With the Perfect Primer

Starting your makeup application with a primer does add another minute or two to your routine, but the extra time is well worth it to help your coverage last all day. Dermablend Poresaver Matte Makeup Primer helps absorb oil, reduce shine and ensure a lasting matte finish. It also helps soften your skin’s texture to create a smooth canvas for your concealer and foundation.

Achieve a Flawless Finish With Foundation

The next step to even out skin tone and reduce redness is applying a foundation such as Dermablend Flawless Creator Multi-use Liquid Pigments. This liquid formula has a silky, blendable texture and concentrated pigments that help even out skin tone. Achieve your customized coverage with one drop for minimal coverage and up to four drops for maximum coverage. You can also mix a drop or two with your favorite liquid highlighter for a sheer, radiant finish.

To even out summer skin tone and protect yourself from sun damage in one step, try Dermablend Continuous Correction Tone-Evening CC Cream Foundation SPF 50+. This lightweight cream foundation provides full coverage to even out skin tone and conceal dark spots and discoloration. It contains niacinamide to reduce redness, caffeine to ease undereye puffiness and vitamin E for antioxidant protection. This formula also contains broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen with a blend of chemical blockers (homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene).

Camouflage Problem Spots With Concealer

After you’ve applied foundation, it’s time to reach for your concealer to fully camouflage any areas of discoloration, redness or dark spots that might still need a bit more coverage. Dermablend Cover Care Full Coverage Concealer has a lightweight cream-based formula that dries to a soft, matte finish. Use the soft doe’s foot applicator to dot concealer over acne scars, under your eyes and anywhere else you need to even out skin tone.

Cleanse With Makeup Remover Before Bed

Waterproof, long-lasting makeup helps keep you looking fresh and flawless all day, but it sometimes can be challenging to remove without the right cleanser. That’s where Dermablend Makeup Dissolver comes in. This unique oil-in-cream emulsion dissolves even the most stubborn mascara, stay-put lipstick and long-lasting foundation without irritating your skin. Use it before you head to bed to make sure all traces of makeup are washed away.
