MAKE UP CLASS 3: Facial Moisturising.




Why moisturise before putting on foundation?

Moisturiser is basically a base to smoothen and hydrate your skin before applying foundation. It will also help your foundation to stay on smooth and look flawless on your skin.

Without moisturiser, foundation may look cakey and sink in your pores which will block them and eventually you may get clogged pores.

Your skin loses moisture due to the environment and weather. You need to moisturise even if you don’t wear foundation, this protects your skin from nasty environmental hazard and also keeps it hydrated.

The main purpose of doing that is that it evens out your skin's texture so the foundation doesn't sink into your pores making your pores look larger. Also, if your skin is dry, not putting moisturiser can make your skin look ashy.

Putting on a moisturiser before foundation can help protect your skin from the sun, as well as, giving you a clean slate to put your foundation or makeup on. It also will help your makeup last longer throughout the day

It makes your skin soft and helps with dry skin. Plus, some moisturisers have sun screen in them  it helps your skin not age as quickly.

While moisturisers differ in what ingredients they use, most moisturisers have two common components: emollients, which make your skin smoother, and humectants, hold in moisture. The best part is that they both help soften your skin.

 Moisturisers can contain a host of other ingredients, such as fragrances, vitamins, botanical extracts, age-fighting compounds and sunscreens.

TIPS AND WARNINGS

Choosing the right moisturiser for your face depends on what type of skin you have, which often can dictate its needs. Some general guidelines are:
  • If you have severely dry skin and the humidity is low, you might want to try a moisturising ointment, because ointments contain the most oil.
  • If you have oily skin, try using a lotion, because these tend to be less greasy than other types of moisturisers.
  • For sensitive skin, try to avoid moisturisers with lots of fragrances and dyes, as these can irritate your skin.
  • Sensitive skin requires a product formulated specifically for sensitive skin. These products are normally fragrance-free and don't contain allergens.
  • Dry skin requires an oil-based, hypo-allergenic moisturiser.
  • Avoid moisturising an inch away from your eyes to avoid irritation.
