I had a brain wave this morning as I was about to put on my Avene sunscreen Idea

I thought why not mix it with my Dr Hauschka Bronze Concentrate so then I would have an Spf tinted Moisturiser and it worked really well Very Happy

I have the Spray stuff so it was runny to start with and very easy to mix, but I expect this would work well with other sunscreens.
Something to try anyway Very Happy

That's it, thank you Rosebud, I have been searching for this product for a long time to use it just as you described, so that I don't have to use foundation all the time and also balance out the colour of my face and body (face normally is lighter than body because of hight factor sun block). I heard of this product in the forum long time ago but don't seem to find it, it seems that it is not available in North America since I don't seem to find it in the Dr. H's NA website. Is it true?

Another question: The Broze Concentate allows you to adjust the shade to suit your skin, right?

Great idea!!! Thanks for the tip Very Happy

I'm definitely going to give this a go this morning.

kk168 - I'm not sure if you have Sephora stores up in Canada, but I live in California and have seen the Bronze Concentrate at the Sephora near my house, and have also spotted it at a Whole Foods store. Hope you're able to find it!

EDS sells it Very Happy

and at a cut price Very Happy

I am so glad I discovered this, I wanted the Bronze for ages then when I finally got I never used it. I also like the fact that you can have it as light or as dark as you choose.

Kk1668 - you can control the shade (to a certain extent) by how much of the bronzing concentrate you use. Jurlique also makes a similar product which was reviewed recently (you should be able to find a few reviews of both the Jurlique and the Dr Haushcka).

Btw, since you're experimenting with adding tints to your sunblocks and moisturisers - adding some loose mineral powder also works well Wink

Oh, that's a great idea too! I'll have to try to add some of my BE minerals while I'm waiting for my Yonka Halo to arrive.

Thanks for the tip, Mabsy! Cool

Yonka Halo? Jurlique? Wow, I didn't know they make similar products. Thanks for letting me know. At the moment, I am just using sunblock mix with foundation, so it looks thinner and more natural (to my opinion) and save one step. I always find it difficult to put foundation on top of sunblock therefore I mix them up and save a step. But I am gradually getting darker, used to use Chanel's Bronze universel (sun illuminator) but it's another step and not so easy to spread evenly. Being able to mix it with sunblock is ultimate, will definiely do the research in the forum. Thanks you all.

Isn't that Dr. H translucent Bronze wonderful?? I have been doing this for awhile. I mix up about a week's worth in a little pot so that I can get the color right and I am good to go.

That's a great idea! I usually do mine on the fly...

I used to always do that but had completely forgotten.
Thanks for reminding me(dementia, you work with it for long enough, you catch it).
