Description
Colorescience Face Shield Flex SPF 50 Tan is a lightweight, tinted mineral sunscreen in a deeper mid shade, between Medium and Deep in the four Flex shades Suppsco stocks. It evens out the look of skin tone as you apply it, and is powered by EnviroScreen® technology, Colorescience’s mineral approach designed to help defend against UVA and UVB rays as well as blue light, pollution and infrared radiation.
Encapsulated iron oxide pigments ‘bloom’ as you rub them between your fingertips, adapting to a range of skin tones and undertones for buildable coverage with a demi-matte finish. Niacinamide and bisabolol support and soothe the skin, and it suits all skin types. Colorescience advises choosing the lighter shade if you are unsure between two.
Key benefits
- Broad-spectrum mineral SPF 50
- Tone-adapting, buildable tinted coverage
- Demi-matte finish that blurs the look of imperfections
- Water resistant (40 minutes)
How to use
- Dispense onto your fingertips and rub gently to activate the pigments; the shade develops from white to tinted.
- Apply to moisturised skin and blend evenly, including under the eyes. Allow 1 to 2 minutes for the shade to settle, and build a second layer after 1 minute if you want more coverage.
- Reapply at least every 2 hours, for example with a Total Protection Brush-On Shield over make-up.
