Foundation for combination skin

Every girl dreams of a perfectly even tone. But, unfortunately, only a few can boast of a normal type of epidermis. And even the owners of perfect skin are faced with the problem of peeling or oily sheen. What can we say about the young ladies, whom Mother Nature has awarded with a combined dermis.

In this case, you have to put up with dry patches on the cheeks and fight oily sheen in the T-shaped zone. Therefore, the choice of foundation for combination skin must be approached with great care. It is not recommended to use cosmetic products for the dry type of the epidermis, as they will further enhance the work of the sebaceous glands. The drug for oily dermis is also not suitable, as it will lead to peeling in overdried areas of the face. Knowing about such problems, representatives of the cosmetic industry have developed a special foundation for mixed skin.

The basis for mixed skin should have a number of features:

1. Be able to eliminate oily shine in the T-zone, giving the dermis a matte effect.
2. Allow to moisturize and saturate the dry areas of the epidermis with the missing moisture, preventing peeling.
3. Designed to hide imperfections, as well as even out the skin texture.
4. It has a light texture that glides on beautifully without leaving the impression of a mask on the face.

When choosing the perfect foundation for combination skin, you should pay attention to its compound:

• Plant extracts and oils - saturate the cells with useful substances, allow you to retain moisture, do not clog pores and relieve oily sheen. Such beneficial substances of natural origin include, for example:
  • rose and citrus fruits - help to even out the structure of the face;
  • ginger, mint and rosemary - improve skin condition;
  • chamomile, bergamot and tea tree - remove redness, soothing the epidermis;
  • mint, green tea and calendula are wonderfully refreshing.
