Women with dry skin usually do not have to worry about foundation coverage degree, its resilience during the day or the mattifying and absorbing sebum level, as this type of skin do not face problems associated with oily skin or mixed with acne prone skin.
However, neither for them choosing a suitable foundation for dry skin is not so easy. Dry skin has specific requirements when it comes to foundation, as well as an anti-aging ingredients, emollients and moisturizers, which gives the skin a fresh, radiant and young look.
Since dry skin, mature or dehydrated ( especially in the summer months when we are exposed to the sun ) is often quite tarnished, a mattifier foundation can worsen the appearance of skin and can show you wrinkles that you never even knew you have.
If the foundation you use is designed to absorb the sebum excess , may dry your skin even worse. The wrong foundation will highlight dry areas of the skin, giving an ugly look and a feel of tighten skin .
If your skin is dry, mature or sensitive and you notice these problems on the foundation that you use, it is time to replace it with a much better option for you and your skin.
Foundation for dry skin: choosing the right formula
The secret of choosing a suitable foundation for dry skin lies in identifying the right formula. Therefore, I recommend you to avoid powdered cosmetics – like most mineral foundation – and opt for a liquid or cream foundation. Check the ingredient list to make sure that the product you want to buy has emollients and moisturizers in the composition, such as glycerin or hyaluronic acid . Vitamins, oils and peptides are also very good ingredients that a good foundation for dry skin should contain .
Also, orient to foundation that gives to skin a luminous satin look to counteract tarnished appearance often associated with dry skin. Products that are specially formulated for mature skin are often good choices for women with dry skin, no matter what their actual age is. The explanation is that as we age, the skin becomes dry, so the foundation for mature skin are usually rich in emollients that gives the skin nutritional intake.
Also, applying foundation for dry skin is recommended using your fingers or a makeup sponge, moistened. Fingers heat helps the product to fade evenly and easily, as when using a makeup brush can exfoliate the skin and can leave marks on applying foundation.
