Post-Summer Skincare Savior: L'Oréal Paris Bright Reveal

As the lazy days of summer give way to the cool, crisp air of autumn, it's time to shift our focus from sun-kissed beach days to post-summer skincare.

While summer memories linger on, so do some not-so-welcome reminders of those days in the sun – pesky dark spots and uneven skin tone. But don't fret! With the right skincare regimen, you can reclaim your skin's natural radiance and wave goodbye to those stubborn dark spots.

Enter two new products from L'Oréal Paris Bright Reveal, an already powerhouse lineup of products. L'Oréal Paris has long been a trusted name in skincare, and their Bright Reveal range is no exception. These innovative products are designed to combat dark spots and uneven skin tone, leaving you with brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

The new products include:

Bright Reveal 12% [Niacinamide + Amino Sulfonic + Ferulic Acid] Dark Spot Serum - This new serum is proven to visibly fade all dark spots, post acne, and sunspots in just 12 weeks! It is designed to attack the dark spot process from all angles with 7% Niacinamide to fight discoloration, 5% Amino-Sulfonic to gently exfoliate, and Ferulic Acid to boost antioxidant protection. I really like that it was tested on all skin tones, and it’s even suitable for sensitive skin. I can’t wait to put it to the test on my post-summer skin!

Bright Reveal Broad Spectrum SPF 50 + Antioxidants UV-Lotion - This sunscreen lotion is formulated with the most advanced UVA and UVB filters. In addition to that, it includes Antioxidants Vitamin C & E to prevent and visibly reduce key signs of aging such as wrinkles, dark spots and dull skin. I already tried this and it’s a win! This liquid sunscreen is lightweight and absorbs quickly into the skin. It does not feel like I am wearing sunscreen leaving no white cast behind. It seamlessly layers under makeup.

Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur Translucent Loose Setting Powder

I have been a longtime user of Laura Mercier’s original Loose Setting Powder. It was the second to last step in my makeup routine. For years I have finished my makeup routine with a very light dusting of the loose setting powder and then I spritz my face with makeup finishing spray.

I recently upgraded the original and best-selling setting powder to the new Ultra-Blur Talc-Free Translucent Loose Setting Powder and my makeup finishing routine has now changed — for the better!

Makeup Finishing Routine

The new Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur Talc-Free Translucent Loose Setting Powder is a game-changer in the makeup finishing routine. With 16 hours (or more) of wear and an ultra-blurring finish, this talc-free formula sets makeup like never before.

Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur Talc-Free Translucent Loose Setting Powder

For the first time, Laura made her iconic powder free from talc, but she did so without sacrificing any benefits. This translucent powder sets makeup for 16 hours of weightless wear with an ultra-blurring, soft-matte finish. Like the original, it is finely milled to deliver incredible staying power.

The powder is weightless and delivers a texture-free finish so skin looks and feels soft, smooth, and flawless from the second you put it on until you take it off. The powder blurs away the look of pores, fine lines, and any imperfections. It controls shine like no one’s business. With the perfect blend of ingredients including amino acids and hyaluronic acid, the powder is comfortable for all-day wear, even on the driest of skins.

Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur Talc-Free Translucent Loose Setting Powder comes in three shades that work for virtually all skin tones.

• Translucent: Perfect for Fair to Medium Skin Tones.

• Translucent Honey: Sets medium skin tones with olive and golden undertones.

• Translucent Medium Deep: Ideal for medium-deep to deep skin tones.

I most often use the translucent shade, but when I have been going barefaced with my deeper self-tan, I do dust on the Translucent Medium Deep shade. It is much deeper than I thought, so I make sure to swirl a bit of the powder in the cap and then dust a bit of it in a tissue before applying it to my face.
