Valley Pick of the Week: Clinque Redness Solutions Daily Protective Base

Those of us with sensitive skin are all too familiar with the side affects of winter. Cold, crisp air yields dry and itchy skin, but that’s a quick fix with the right lotion. What seems hopeless is when the winter wind wipes off our makeup, leaving our faces red and raw. It’s the worst – the absolute worst. So how do we fix it?

Try Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Protective Base, every pale girl’s new best friend. This product not only counteracts redness, but also works as a primer so that our makeup stays on longer.

How does it work?

The product is tinted a sheer green, which offsets the red irritation. It also contains SPF 15 to protect skin for harmful exposure that aggravates skin with Rosacea or reactive redness. It’s oil-free, too, which means it won’t clog your precious pores. Apply it immediately before putting on any base foundation or concealer.

Where to find it?

Any store that carries Clinque products – Sephora, Ulta, Macy’s, etc.

How much?

Around $20. Pricey, but worth it. Clinque’s products are light and hypoallergenic, perfect of girls with sensitive skin.
