Blush v Bronzer....Why Choose?

If you’re anything like me, your skin in summer can’t help but become a little sun kissed, while in winter you return to being paler, which is why I usually have both a bronzer and a blush in my cosmetic drawer. Sometimes, however, I reverse the use of these key beauty essentials: I use a dash of bronzer in the winter to liven up my complexion, and in summer, especially if wearing makeup, a sweep of blush. As my skin has matured, however, when using either product I am always looking for formulas which are more creamy and nourishing, which is where fantastic Argan oil can be a godsend. And you’ll find it in two new and affordable Physicians Formula products, Argan Wear Ultra-Nourishing Argan Oil Bronzer (rrp $29.95), and Argan Wear Ultra-Nourishing Argan Oil Blush (rrp $21.95). And in good news for anyone on the road, they’re both ideal for travellers for a variety of reasons.

First the bronzer, which not only looks exotic at first glance, coming in a lightweight, gold pot with a transparent lid, as well as two shades, but it also treats skin with ultra nourishing ingredients as well as delivering a sunlit glow to your complexion. There’s a built-in mirror and a small, flat brush included for quick touch ups, although I prefer to use with a kabuki brush. The bronzer is infused with 100 per cent pure Argan oil, which has become famous in beauty for its rich conditioning benefits, improving the skin's brightness, tone, texture and elasticity. Not only does it brighten dull skin helping to enhance skin's youthful glow, it also smooths the appearance of fine lines, and what’s not to love about that? The blush also comes in a similar pot, with a built-in mirror and brush, and it has an ultra-luxe formula in two shades, with luminous, light-reflecting pigments which aim to perfect the skin, as well as deliver a youthful and glowing radiance. It is also infused with 100 per cent pure Argan oil, and is hypoallergenic, paraben free non-comedogenic and dermatologist approved. Physicians Formula is available exclusively from Priceline Stores in Australia.
