Know your skin type
Choose foundations and powders for normal skin.Apply a layer of moisturizer underneath for dry, winter conditions or whenever you enter a parched environment.Keep a pressed powder on hand for oilier moments or more humid days.
Choose double-duty foundations that moisturize while helping to smooth the appearance of skin's surface.Avoid alcohol-based products, like harsh toners and astringents.Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! If your skin is extra dry, try a tinted moisturizer as a base for your foundation.
Start with a deep cleanser that washes away dirt, oil, and fights bacteria.Try foundations and powders that help control oily shine without causing dryness to skin.Avoid touching your face during the day! Oils from your hands get transferred from your palms or finders without you even realizing!Change your pillowcases more often. Oils can get trapped in the cloth and later irritate skin.
Choose an oil-managing powder for your T-zone (and other oily areas).Use a flexible make-up routine to help cope with combination skin's many moods.
Don't use harsh facial washes or soaps whose main ingredients are alcohols or fragrances- they'll only further skin's irritation.Use an unscented moisturizer to strengthen your skin and provide a barrier against irritants.A key to clearness is in fragrance-free makeup, like Clean Makeup and Pressed Powder.
