With the summer heat amplifying, our skin’s been getting redder the longer we stay under the sun. The weather’s also been making us switch out our usual base products to relieve ourselves of that extra layer of suffocation—making skin tints a beloved summer go-to. But if you’re looking for something even more lightweight and natural than a skin tint, or you want something that targets a specific concern, then look no further than color correcting base products!
Basically, color correction is the process of using the complementary color of your skin issues in order to neutralize and camouflage them. Since you’ve already canceled out the discoloration, your skin would virtually look even-toned—if that’s all that you’re aiming for when it comes to complexion products, then color correcting may be the only step you need to complete your base!
The opposite color of red is green, so we’ve listed down eight green color correcting products to tackle that heat-induced skin redness and keep your skin fresh and feeling light for the summer!
8 Green Color Correctors for Toning Down Redness

For those looking to achieve that Korean glass skin glow, the Laneige Water Glow Base Corrector would be your best bet! It’s a water-based formula that applies like a lotion to provide extra hydration and a dewy finish without being too heavy on the skin.
