7 Tips For Applying FOUNDATION On Dry Winter Skin!

Winter is an extremely dry season. More than anything else it is our skin that suffers the impact of cold winds and harsh weather. It is extremely hard to take proper care of the face,  during winters the task seems pretty much mammoth like. On the outside it is the cold winds that steal all the moisture from the skin and inside are the room heaters that absorb the left over natural oils from the skin, leaving the face dry, flaky and full of spots.

When one applies makeup specifically the foundation, it looks cakey  and patchy and instead of covering all the spots it highlights them. No, the fault is not in the product but in our skin care routine and makeup techniques. Take a note of few easy tips to prevent the foundation disaster due to dry and flaky skin.

Use Toner Before Applying Foundation

Applying toner before using foundation will not only help in getting rid of all the flakes on the skin but it will also keep the face hydrated preventing foundation from showcasing the dry patches.

Moisturise Before Taking Shower

Moisturising before shower is more beneficial than after shower because the steam developed from the hot water will help the skin to absorb the moisturiser within.

Use Hydrating Primer

If you use regular primers during summer and autumn season then it is better to switch them into hydrating primers during winter season to add that extra layer of moisturising protection on skin and save it from the harsh cold winds. Also the hydrating primer will prevent the foundation from drying out the face excessively.

Use Cream Foundations

It is recommended to use creamy foundations during winter as they help in achieving the  soft, moisturised, dewy and glowing look. Powder foundations tend to dry the skin easily.

Always use damp beauty blender as it will not absorb all the foundation and  will also help in pushing the foundation within the skin. Also, it is important to known that beauty blender should never be rubbed on the skin as it might cause itchiness and irritation. It should always be dabbed on the skin for better coverage and dewy look.
