Focus on foundation mature skin: what are we talking about?

The passage of time inevitably has repercussions on the quality of the skin. Our lifestyle, our diet, the environment and pollution also contribute to accelerating skin aging. Without forgetting the sun and the free radicals which reinforce this state of affairs.

What exactly are the signs of mature skin?

“Adult” skin is marked by a decrease in collagen in its cells. It regenerates less well. With age, the production of sebum and hyaluronic acid also declines. A new skin profile is emerging with a skin barrier that weakens and dries out as well as signs of tissue sagging. The markers of mature skin then appear:

  • Dry skin
  • A lack of firmness and sagging of the skin
  • Loss of density and elasticity
  • The installation of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Hyperpigmentation and the appearance of spots

Foundation for mature skin: which texture to choose?

At first glance in the mirror, do you see dull, tired skin? Is the oval of your face no longer as clear as before? Despite your complexion makeup , wrinkles and fine lines resurface, or even deepen? You may not have the right foundation.

To begin, we invite you to put aside your mattifying foundations. They dry out the skin and this is precisely what should be avoided with mature skin. The same goes for powder foundations, which tend to bring out fine lines.

Choose a makeup product formula with moisturizing active ingredients.

The Zero Flaw Foundation, with a fluid and light texture , ensures a perfect and natural complexion finish. This make-up is enriched with organic chamomile, known for its moisturizing and nourishing properties. It does not mark areas of dryness or signs of age.

To obtain a natural result, opt for a shade lighter than your skin tone.

How to properly apply foundation on mature skin?

Have you chosen your foundation? It’s perfect, but that’s not all. Mature skin requires appropriate care and a dedicated makeup routine.

We offer you these few gestures to enhance your face. You will then know how to prepare the skin and properly apply your foundation.

To apply your foundation:

  • Prep skin with moisturizer or serum for added radiance. Our care routine for mature skin has been specially designed for mature skin!
  • Arm yourself with your foundation and makeup accessories. For example, use a 10H Full Radiance Foundation : it protects against external aggressions, hydrates, evens out and brightens the complexion.
  • Place a pump or two of material on the back of your hand.
  • Use a brush or sponge to apply your foundation. Stretch the material with the brush. Pat with the sponge.

With the brush: take the material and stretch from the center of the face outwards, for a lifting effect. To even out the complexion, perform small dynamic smoothing movements. Make sure to distribute the material evenly over the face and neck.

With the complexion sponge: take the material with the rounded corner of the sponge, then tap the material, from the inside out, over the entire face.

You can also apply your foundation with your finger. The result will be just as natural.

  • Finalize your makeup with a sun-kissed powder to enhance the complexion. Use in moderation so as not to further mark skin folds. A compact powder also has the advantage of setting and mattifying liquid products, making them last longer.

You can therefore reduce the effects of aging with a foundation that hydrates and plumps the skin. Reshape the contour of your face with complexion makeup and appropriate skincare products. The right nuance, the right care, the right gestures, and that’s it. Take care of your skin and shine!
