Foundation and your Skin Type

Evaluating your skin type is essential when selecting the right foundation. Figuring out which category your skin type falls under will help you select the ideal foundation that is suitable for your skin to achieve a flawless complexion.

Skin alters in texture throughout seasons. With the weather changing our skin is more prone to flaking and dry patches. Keep in mind for the colder season your skin requires more hydration since the dry weather produces less natural oil, applying moisturizer before any foundation will help distribute the product evenly onto the skin. For more information and tips on foundation for Fall/Winter season read our previous post. 

                Three basic skin types:

                                • Normal/Combination

                                • Oily

                                • Dry

To determine your skin type, use a simple test with a clean tissue in the morning right after you wake up since your skin is in its natural state. Blot the tissue on key areas of your face such as the nose and forehead.

                Normal/Combination Skin Type

                                • Smooth texture with light oil build up around nose

                                • Tissue Test: Small traces of oil around nose and forehead

                Oily Skin Type

                                • Shiny/greasy with enlarged pores around the nose. Skin prone t0 acne spots.

                                • Tissue Test: Large spots of oil on nose, chin and forehead.

                Dry Skin Type

                                • Tight skin texture and prone to dry patches.

                                • Tissue Test: Flaky, itchy and tight skin.
