I have dry skin on my face. What foundations are there that are specially suited for this problem?

It's only dry on the surface as I've also got acne and tend to get oily skin some hours after washing.

I have dry skin on my face. What foundations are there that are specially suited for this problem?
don't worry about makeup just yet..try whipping your skin into shape. putting foundation on dry skin shows the dry flakes and foundation on acne will cause it break out more...so bad combo. try proactiv to condition your skin first! good luck
Reply:you don't need foundation and don't use it. the more you use it, the more you're face will break out. first learn to clean and take care of you face and then, other make-up and beauty products will work on your face.
Reply:Try Mary Kay

Reply:try netrogina exfoliant first then use conditioner like olay or MK
Reply:Mary Kay Dual-Coverage Powder Foundation
Reply:Any foundation will work as long as you use a facial scrub or something to exfoliate your face before applying foundation, also apply moisturizer beforehand also, if not there are foundations with added moisturizers, just have a look around a few shops.
Reply:Its not the foundation thats causing the problem. You need to start taking care of your skin. U should be exfolliating 2-3 times a week for the dryness and using a moisturiser that contains either algae or seaweed to slow down oil production you should also use a clay setting mask 2-3 times a week for purifying to draw out excess oil and help with the acne.
Reply:well I suggest you exfoliate with a good brand and then use a nice moisturiser, the put on your foundation x x
Reply:MARY KAY is terrific for dry skin. My skin used to peel until I started using it umpteen years ago.
Reply:I would use a primer. I like Laura Mercier and Smashbox. You can find them at sephora.com
Reply:LOTION ever hear !!
Reply:You should not wear makeup to much until you get your skin healthier. Cleanse, exfoliate, tone, mask, tone, moisterize. Morning and Night. Check the back of your products when you buy them. DO NOT use if it has alchool in it this bother acne conditions and make it worse on dry skin. Try to where little to no make up until it's a little better. It sounds like your skin is dehydrated DRINK H2O !!!


But try using oil free makeup or even just a tinted moisterizer. Proactiv really helps if you are willing to pay that much for it.
Reply:You can use LOREAL and JERGANS. They work pretty well.
Reply:Avon has Some Anew facial products which you can put on in the am and in the pm...the pm has spf in it to help even more... they are absolutely wonderful. They also have some conceilers as well.
Reply:IM NOT SURE BUT NEVER USE LOTION IT CAN MAKE THE PROBLEM WORSE I ADVISE SEE A SPECIALIST AND ASK FOR THEIR ADVISE
Reply:exfoliate to remove dead cells and moisturize


if u can use a foundation with moiturizer in it that would be ideal. if not make sure to apply moitsturizer wen wearing make up


an idea is clean and clear oilless moitsturising mist.
Reply:AVON has came out with the first.... Moisturizing Cover-up
Reply:Rimmel Hydrasense concealer and also hydrasense foudation. But always have a god skin care routine and use products suitable for combination skin if you have both oily and dry patches. Be gentle on your skin as harsh products will over dry your skin and also cause an over production of oils. ask at a beauty counter at a store for some advice on products but dont be swayed into buying the most expensive as its not neccesary as a lot of cheaper stuff works as good if not better.
Reply:tinted moisturiser is better
Reply:actually it's not the make up it's the moisturizer, i had that same problem, try a moisturizer before switching makeup!
