You can totally make your own tinted moisturizer using Jane Iredale’s Pressed Powder.

Learning to create your own tinted moisturizer is easier than you think especially with a product as versatile as Jane Iredale’s mineral makeup. Since it’s all rocks it mixes with nearly any creamy moisturizer and her setting mist for tinted moisturizer that flawlessly covers and hydrates your skin while protecting with an FDA approved SPF.

To create your tinted moisturizer you’ll need:
Jane Iredale’s Pressed Powder or Amazing Base in your color
Jane Iredale’s setting mist
A creamy moisturizer
Something to scrape the powder out with like the back of a makeup brush

Steps

1) Put a nickel size amount of moisturizer in your palm
2) Scrape out some powder and dump it into your palm with the moisturizer
3) Apply 3-4 spritz of the setting mist
4) Blend together until creamy

Voila! You’ve done it! You have your very own tinted moisturizer! Watch the video for bonus techniques and more specifics and comment or questions are always welcome!

Don’t Bother Blemishes With Bad Products

I know you’ve heard it a million times, SPF is important and should be worn everyday. But many people with oily or sensitive skin are prone to breakouts when using over the counter SPF’s. The thing is, a good SPF will keep you protected and clear. You just have to know how to pick one and apply it. Here are a few sunscreen tips:

Mineral Makeup
If you plan to spend time outside skip heavy makeup and use a mineral based makeup like Jane Iredale. You’ll get your SPF protection and look good while doing it.

Broad spectrum sunscreen is best
For the best protection, go for a broad spectrum brand. I always recommend Titanium Dioxide and Zinc as the primary ingredients. Remember to reapply every few hours. You’ll also want to make sure you pick up a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 to 40. Anything over 40 is really not necessary and isn’t worth the added chemicals on your skin for the slight increase in protection.

Avoid added fragrance
Some sunscreens contain dyes or perfumes to make the product look and smell more appealing. Leave the scented sunscreens on the shelf and opt for a product that’s perfume and dye free.

Pick an SPF you love
If you don’t love it, you won’t wear it so choose something you like. I carry eight different SPF options because everyone has different preferences.

Don’t let the sun hinder your radiant look, just prepare for it. Spend some time selecting the right sunscreen to make sure you’re covered for both sun protection and acne prevention.
