Choosing the Right Cosmetics for your Skin

 Ø As there are various types of cosmetics, each skin type will react differently. If you’re a victim of dry skin, then avoid cosmetics that dry or annoy your skin. Dry skin needs added moisture to look young. It is always good to choose a crème type foundation. Try to ignore oil free formulas as they can stick to the fine lines on your face. Look for moisture rich lip glosses and lipsticks. Lip glosses with aloe or vitamin E provides additional lip moisture.

Ø Having oily skin means you need to stay moisture free. If you use crème products, your face will never get a complete feel of being clean. Never choose anything with added oils. Opt for loose powder as it has fewer oils. Water based foundation will be the perfect one to use. Instead of using liquid foundation, try a cream to powder foundation.

Ø Combination skin is a typical skin type. In hot days your skin can be oiler, while in cold days your skin may dry up. This means you need to choose different products for different conditions. It is best to choose products specially created for combination skin.

Ø Before selecting any cosmetic, understand your skin tone. Choosing the wrong one will never compliment your skin. Make sure the product matches your skin tone and hide minor imperfections in your skin. If you have a chocolate or olive skin tone, then darker foundations, deeper colors for eye shadow and eyeliner will be the suitable choice. Lighter shades of foundation and eye makeup will be perfect for pale skin.

Ø Avoid harsh, dry, and greasy cleanser as much as possible. This may react unfavorably with your skin type. A water-soluble cleanser is gentle and quite suitable for all skin types. 

Ø Fragrance and scented products contain lots of chemicals including hormone-disrupting phthalates, synthetic musks, and ethylene oxide. It is best to opt for fragrance free products. You can use products containing natural fragrances like essential oils. Quality makeup is quite expensive, but it will mildly take care of your skin. Always purchase a quality makeup that best suits your skin type.
