Today on Foundation Fest, I’m putting the IT Cosmetics Do It All Sheer Tint Face Balm to the test — shade Light Neutral 210, $34 for 0.63oz, silicone-based, no fragrance (a rare win for IT Cosmetics), and a surprisingly short ingredient list for a brand that usually throws the kitchen sink. 4.5 stars and almost 3,400 reviews on Ulta. Let’s see how it holds up on 51-year-old dry skin through a full work day. All products linked below. #foundationfest #makeupover50 #dryskin #over50beauty

IT Cosmetics Do It All Sheer Tint Face Balm in Light Neutral 210 $34 – https://go.magik.ly/ml/3smvw/

IT Cosmetics is a cruelty free brand.

ABOUT ME: My name is Shelly and I’m a 51-year-old web geek that jumped off the deep end into the makeup and beauty world. I’ve got normal to dry skin, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage. Cameo appearances by my rescue cats Ziva and Charlie (both girls).

Peptides – what’s real and what’s hype? Let’s talk about what peptides are, what they do for the skin, and how to spot the red flags and decipher the marketing from the science. #ingredientliteracy #skincare #peptides

Some of Dr. Loren Pickart’s studies:
GHK in skin repair – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4508379/
GHK regenerative & protective actions – https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29986520/

GHK as an anti-aging peptide (Yan Dou et al) – https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35083444/
