For that reason and luckily there is a great variety of beauty products that equalize the tone but without that heavy feeling on the skin that some bases leave.

What alternatives are there to foundation for those who don't want to wear it all the time?
Alternatives that work
- BB Creams. We have known them for years but we never tire of praising their benefits. The best thing they have is that they are multifunction cosmetics that allow us to save steps in our beauty routine.
- Photoprotectors with color. They are sunscreens with a fairly high factor but they also have a touch of color so that you look better on your face instantly and not with that heavy feeling that some creams of this type leave behind.
- Moisturizing with color. They go great on any type of skin, usually they also include SPF although not so much and they leave a transparent veil on the skin of the most natural.
- Tinted gel moisturizers. Its texture is ultra light, ideal for those who are overwhelmed with the feeling that some too covering bases leave on the face.
