Simplify Summer Beauty: Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream With Broad Spectrum SPF 40 (Medium) Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**



If you ask me, I think one of the most amazing products you can put on your face is a BB Cream.  Such a multi-tasking product can hydrate, conceal, protect, and serve as makeup to saves you time, but also is a great choice to add to your summer beauty ritual.

Thanks to iFabbo, I had the opportunity to try Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 40 in Medium.  

The first thing you will notice is how this citrus scented product will even out your skin tone and do wonders to improve the texture of your complexion.  It does come out a bit thick so you only need a little to do your face.  The feel of this cream is lightweight against your skin with reliable light to nearly medium coverage, depending on how much you apply.

This cream needs a few minutes to adjust once on your skin before you notice how it adapts to match your coloring.  Being light but not fair, I had concerns about what the medium shade would look like; however, this suited my coloring without any problems.  In fact, I think light would have been too pale for me.  Therefore, I suggest you may want one shade darker than normal in this line.

With their peptides, vitamin C, plant stem cells, and SPF 40 broad spectrum sun protection, this BB Cream really did benefit my skin from anti-aging because it didn't seem to settle into any creases, insured the face protection from sun damage being a sunblock, and gave me a better-looking complexion the more I used it. 

As far as staying power, I thought this cream held up nicely without turning greasy either.  The gorgeous soft matte finish won't disappoint you.

Unlike a tinted moisturizer, I also want to point out that  this BB Cream is wonderfully pigmented.  Some people may feel they need more coverage if they have lots of skin issues and apply their foundation on top, but I thought the coverage smoothed and perfected my complexion just fine alone.  I intend on replacing my normal foundation with this one for summer. 

The 1.5 oz. Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 40 retails for $39 at ULTA.  If you haven't tried a BB Cream yet, you definitely need to look into one.  I honestly believe you'll love what this can do for you!

Looking more beautiful while repairing your complexion is easier than ever thanks to the multiple benefits of BB creams.  With one product you can prime, perfect, hydrate and correct skin in a breeze.  L'Oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream that I have been testing for SheSpeaks might be exactly the lightweight coverage help that you're looking for.

I am fairly light and requested a tube of the product in 812 Light.  The first thing you will notice upon opening is that what comes out is far from any light beige but a milky white color with tiny beads.  However, this shade quickly adjusts once you start applying it to your face.  All you need are a few well-placed dabs to smooth in and you're practically ready for your day.
  
This BB Cream gave me more of a matte finish than some others that left me somewhat dewier for my dry skin type.  This one would be more suited for those with oily complexions than dry.  Regardless of a slightly drier feel on my skin, I could still wear this product without any problem.  In fact, I think this cream would be better on my skin during the summer months.

You can compare this amount of coverage to a tinted moisturizer.  Furthermore, the color was good for me.   Also,  I liked how natural it looked as it delicately covered like the pretty skin showing was me--not product taking credit for helping me look that way.

Overall, I think L'Oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream is a fine product that has a lot of offer.  To fully appreciate it, you need to take your skin type into consideration and the best season to wear it.
