I’m 57, and This Wrinkle-Preventing Skin Tint Replaced My Foundation and Moisturizer

Let’s face it, taking care of our skin can be time consuming—especially if you’re always in a rush, like me. But being in my 50s, I also know I can’t compromise on giving my skin daily TLC. An SPF sunblock, moisturizer, and foundation are musts in my morning routine, so naturally, I’m always on the lookout for a product that can save time. I found just that—and more—when I recently started using Elizabeth Arden Prevage Hydrating Skin Tint.

This product is a true multi-tasker that’s been a boost for my skin and my busy schedule. For starters, it offers mineral broad spectrum sun protection in a sheer tint. The product also promotes skin health with a trademarked, anti-aging enzyme complex that boosts production of collagen and elastin Awards & Events.

But—city folks take note—this product goes even further by shielding skin from the effects of pollution. I’ve lived in cities my whole life and never thought much about the damage pollution could be doing to my skin. Yet studies show air pollution is a major contributor to skin aging, including development of wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.

The Elizabeth Arden Prevage Hydrating Skin Tint has what the brand refers to as “anti-pollution shield technology,” which uses large molecules that act as a barrier to keep harmful environmental toxins from penetrating skin. The formula also contains an anti-pollution complex with idebenone, a powerful antioxidant that improves hydration, roughness, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in sun-damaged skin.

Although jam-packed with skin benefits, the skin tint is a breeze to use; it blends seamlessly with no dreaded white cast. After application, my skin looks smooth with just the right hint of natural-looking color. (I even use it on my neck and chest.) Many SPF products can influence dryness and flakiness, but this formula leaves my skin looking and feeling firm and hydrated for the whole day. It’s replaced my SPF, moisturizer, and foundation—and saved me some precious time.

At $73, the product is on the pricey side—but I’ve learned you can’t compromise on skin care, and some products are simply worth the splurge. If you’re looking for a one-and-done product to add to your routine, shop Awards & Events. Below, check out similar products.
