Since it’s the coldest time of the year, many people are experiencing typical winter skin issues such as dryness, dehydration, redness, and itching. This is not surprising since heaters and radiators dry everything out and we drink extra coffee to feel warm. It’s no wonder our skin often goes into full crisis mode in February. To make matters worse, winter skin only makes you look older as it increases the texture and blemishes in the color.
Although we instinctively want to apply makeup to even out our skin, some people may be reluctant to apply foundation for fear of further irritation. You can’t blame them for thinking like that. There are a lot of foundations that don’t work as well in cold weather. Well, I hope you know that. jane iredaleWe will introduce you to some excellent winter skin foundations that are sure to please you.
What is the best foundation for dry skin?
At the top of our list is HydroPure Tinted Serum, which contains hyaluronic acid and CoQ10. If ever there was a foundation made to repair dry winter skin, this is it. The first two main ingredients don’t need to be explained because they’re in the name, but let’s talk about what they do.
-
Hyaluronic acid has an amazing ability to help your skin retain moisture. In fact, the epidermis can hold approximately 1000 times its weight in water. This is great news for my friends who are feeling dry and dehydrated.
- The next ingredient, CoQ10, combats free radical damage. CoQ10 is a powerful collagen and elastin support tool, so it can definitely help if you’re concerned about unwanted texture.
- There’s also allantoin, which soothes redness and inflammation.
HydroPure can be used as a primer under our powders or over our Smooth Affair primer for extra shine and smoothness. You’ll love how it melts into your skin and leaves you with a dewy finish that lasts all day. Learn more about how to use HydroPure Tinted Serum.
HydroPure does not have sun protection properties, so it is usually combined with an SPF product for best results.
The next solution we present for winter skin may surprise you, as it is actually a system that contains powder. There is a misconception that all powders dry out the skin, but this powder is different.
PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation is a powder foundation with liquid-like coverage that is drying-free and features a soothing formula packed with minerals and antioxidants. Our top recommendation is to use it in a skincare makeup system consisting of Smooth Affair Brightening Face Primer, PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation, and Pomist Hydration Spray.
- Smooth Affair Brightening Face Primer provides a layer of hydration, creating a dewy finish and smoothing skin texture.
- PurePressed Base soothes and soothes skin while providing broad-spectrum SPF. Contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to soothe and soothe even the driest of skin. Check out this guide to learn more about PurePressed base mineral foundations.
- POMMISTT Hydration Spray provides long-lasting makeup and extra hydration. Pomegranate is a powerful antioxidant that protects your skin from environmental damage and works in conjunction with SPF.
Skin care routine for dry skin
In addition to using the best skin moisturizing products possible and applying moisturizing makeup for winter, there are also some daily habits to optimize your skin care and makeup.
- When performing skin care in the morning and at night, avoid completely drying out your face. Apply your treatment serum while your skin is still damp from cleansing, apply your moisturizer while your skin is still damp from your treatment, and apply your primer while your skin is still damp from your moisturizer. Building your skin on top of a layer of moisture helps keep your skin hydrated throughout the day.
- Be sure to use a hydrating spray. After makeup, spray with POMMISST, Calming Lavender, or D20 Hydration Spray for added hydration. Carry a hydrating spray with you and use it throughout the day.
- Add omegas to your daily supplement regimen. Omegas help skin cells retain moisture more effectively and soothe facial redness. The Advanced Nutrition Program’s Skin Omega combines omega-3s to treat dryness and texture with omega-6s to treat inflammation and redness. We recommend 2 bottles a day. You will see results within a few weeks of starting.
- Be careful about your sugar and caffeine intake. Sugar and caffeine are two of the most inflammatory and drying substances you can put into your body. Try to limit your coffee intake to one cup a day and replace refined sugar snacks with fruit or healthier options. You’ll thank yourself later.
Wearing the right foundation in winter doesn’t have to be difficult. We pride ourselves on offering healthier options than traditional makeup.please remember jane iredale The formula is made without the top sensitizers found in traditional cosmetics.
