Mineral Face Shield® protective cream

Lucia, 34, came to see us in March, right after returning to her office on Karadžičova Street following maternity leave. She spent all day in front of a screen, ate lunch with her phone in hand, and drove home with the sun shining directly on her face. She told me she barely recognised herself in the mirror, her skin was uneven, with dark patches on her cheeks, and what bothered her most was that she had stopped taking selfies with her daughter, embarrassed by how she looked in photos taken by the window.

When I examined her skin closely, I saw that it was not simply dry skin left over from winter. It was sensitive, slightly irritated, with early signs of pigmentation exactly where the light from her monitor and car window hit her face. I knew she needed something that would protect her skin throughout the day, not only from the sun, but also from blue light and city smog. I reached for Mineral Face Shield® from the Hydra Blue® line, a mineral protective cream, which I recommended she apply each morning as the final step before leaving the house.

In practice, Lucia added Mineral Face Shield® as the very last step of her morning routine: first gentle cleansing, then serum and moisturiser from the Hydra Blue® line, and only at the end, just before leaving home, a thin layer of this mineral cream applied to her face, neck and décolletage. The texture is light, almost invisible, leaving no white cast or oily shine, so it layers easily under make up. I recommended she reapply it around midday, before an afternoon spent in front of the screen, just a few seconds to refresh and protect her skin for the hours ahead. Her skin appeared calmer beneath it, less prone to redness and tightness, even with the sun shining directly on her face in the car.

If you too spend your days in front of a screen and drive home with the sun on your face, do not wait for another summer of patches you want to hide from the camera. Every month without protection is a month your skin will remember for a long time.
