COVERGIRL Lightweight BB Cream Foundation For Oily Skin

Finding a foundation that works well with oily skin can be frustrating. The wrong foundation can worsen oily skin, and you need to know what to look for. You must look for something that won’t promote oil production but also provides decent coverage.

You can perform a simple test to learn if you have an oily skin type. Take a sheet of blotting paper or tissue paper and press it to your face. The paper will appear translucent if you have oily skin. There may be areas on your skin that are more oil-prone than others; most people see that in their T-zone. The T-zone refers to your forehead above your nose, the length of the nose and your chin directly below your nose.

When looking for foundations for oily skin, it’s best to search for oil-free products. Medium to full coverage foundations will likely be the most common foundation that works well for oily skin. The best base will be a water-based foundation that will evenly glide over your skin while reducing the amount of oil produced throughout the day.

• Some foundations will be specifically formulated for oily skin; those may be the best fit for you.
• Washing and moisturizing your face will help control oil production and toner.
• Avoid oil-based products, including moisturizers, as these can increase oil production, which you obviously want to avoid.
• Look for a foundation that includes a sun protection factor, and make sure to wear that SPF daily.
