What foundation should I use for dry skin

Human skin has many characteristics. According to the moisturizing property of the skin, it can be divided into dry skin, oily skin and neutral skin. This is also the most common skin classification method. For dry skin, there are many inconveniences both in skin care and in makeup. Especially when applying makeup, you must buy a suitable foundation to make the makeup fit well. So, what kind of foundation should be used for dry skin?

1. Cream foundation: suitable for loose and inelastic skin

The skin of older women tends to be loose, lacking in elasticity and moisture. Cream-based foundations are more moisturizing and have stronger adhesion and astringency, which can conceal loose, inelastic, and dehydrated skin to a certain extent.

However, because it is a paste, this type of foundation contains more oil and will feel heavy after applying on the face. Therefore, it is not suitable to use when you have acne, and girls with acne-prone skin should not try it easily!

How to use: The method of using foundation cream is similar to that of liquid foundation. The difference is that before use, scoop an appropriate amount on the back of your hand, and spread it with your fingertips as a "wake-up" motion, so that you can then apply makeup more evenly. After applying makeup, girls with oily skin should use oil-absorbing facial tissue to absorb excess oil.

2. Stick foundation: suitable for skin that is not so smooth

This type of foundation is mostly used for skin that is not smooth. Because of its strong concealing power and good adhesion to the skin, foundation sticks are often used as concealers.

How to use: When using, you need to gently apply it to the entire face first, and then strengthen it locally. It should be noted that you must first use the temperature of your hands to fully melt it before applying it evenly, otherwise it will easily clog the pores!

3. Powder foundation ( loose powder ) : suitable for skin with relatively rough texture

This is what we usually call loose powder. Many girls will use loose powder to set their makeup after using liquid foundation. But in fact, loose powder is suitable for friends with relatively rough skin texture. Compared with stick foundation, its concealing effect is relatively small, but its oil-control effect is stronger, which can keep the makeup clean and clear for a longer time.

How to use: Use a powder brush to pick up loose powder and apply evenly on the face. For the oily T-zone, use a powder puff to pick up loose powder and apply it by pressing.

4. Emulsion foundation ( thin ) : suitable for skin that lacks radiance

For girls with dull and radiant skin, a foundation with a thinner texture is the best choice. Liquid foundation with a thinner texture contains stronger moisture and can moisturize the skin well. The light texture can greatly reduce the burden on facial skin.

However, although a light foundation can make the skin full of radiance, this is also its disadvantage - the texture is too light and its concealing power is naturally weaker. Therefore, a foundation with a thinner texture is more suitable for girls with no blemishes on their skin!
