Bobbi Brown EXTRA Tinted Moisturizing Balm

With winter’s dry skin quickly taking its toll, I’ve been looking for a foundation that’s super moisturizing and soothing. Last week, I received my first jar of Bobbi Brown’s EXTRA Tinted Moisturizing Balm and it’s proven to be a winner!

EXTRA Tinted Moisturizing Balm is a thick cream that provides a boat load of moisture in each application. Intended for dry to very dry skin, it has really helped remedy my dry skin woes. I’ve been wearing it now for about five days and I absolutely love it! The coverage is very sheer and just enough to even out some slight redness on my cheeks. After applying it with my fingers (it sinks right into my skin), I use my normal concealer to even out dark areas under my eyes, around my nose and on my chin. This provides a very natural, dewy finish so if you require full coverage or a matte texture, this balm is not for you. Because of its moisturizing qualities, it also makes a pretty good primer so I’ve actually used this under a fuller coverage foundation with great results!

The active ingredients in this tinted moisturizer are the sunscreens, which provide SPF 25 (which you need year round!!). Other ingredients include moisturizers and emollients (glycerin, shea butter, hyaluronic acid) and lots of scented oils, which are responsible for this product’s lovely scent. I don’t have sensitive skin so scented products are not an issue for me but if your skin reacts to citrus oils (or you just don’t like how they smell), then you won’t like it. I happen to love the fragrance!
