Skincare and Makeup for Different Skin Types: Tips for Oily, Dry, and Combination Skin

Our skin is the largest organ in our body, and it is also the most visible. For this reason, we all want our skin to look its best, regardless of our age or gender. One of the most important aspects of achieving beautiful skin is taking care of it properly.

The skincare and makeup routine that you follow must be customized to your skin type. Here, we’ll discuss skincare and makeup tips for the three most common skin types: oily, dry, and combination skin.

OILY SKIN

Oily skin is characterized by an overproduction of sebum, the natural oil that our skin produces. This leads to a shiny, greasy appearance that can be difficult to manage. People with oily skin are also prone to clogged pores, blackheads, and acne. However, it is possible to manage oily skin with the right skincare and makeup routine.

Skincare Tips

1. Cleanse with a gentle, oil-free cleanser twice a day: Cleansing is essential for removing excess oil, dirt, and makeup from your skin. Use a gentle, oil-free cleanser to avoid stripping your skin of its natural oils, such as the Pore Detox Herbal Cleanser from 100% PURE.
2. Use a toner: Toners can help to remove any remaining dirt or oil and minimize the appearance of pores. Look for toners with natural ingredients, like the Lavender Tonique from 100% PURE, or toners that contain salicylic acid or glycolic acid to help control oil production.
3. Use oil-free moisturizers: Even oily skin needs moisture, so look for lightweight, oil-free moisturizers that won’t clog your pores. Our favorite is the Tea Tree Balancing Moisturizer.
4. Use clay masks: Clay masks are great for oily skin because they absorb excess oil and impurities from the skin. Use the Matcha Oat Milk Nourishing Mask once or twice a week to keep your skin looking fresh and matte.

Makeup Tips

1. Use a mattifying primer: A mattifying primer will help to control oil production and keep your makeup in place all day.
2. Use a lightweight, oil-free foundation: Look for foundations that are specifically designed for oily skin, and avoid anything too heavy or creamy, 100% PURE offers a great option for you to try, that is the Fruit Pigmented® 2nd Skin Foundation.
3. Use powder products: Powder products are great for oily skin because they absorb excess oil and help to control shine. Use a matte powder to set your foundation and a matte blush or bronzer to add color to your cheeks.
4. Use oil-absorbing sheets: Keep oil-absorbing sheets in your purse to touch up throughout the day. Simply blot the sheet on your face to remove excess oil without disturbing your makeup.

DRY SKIN

Dry skin is characterized by a lack of natural oils and moisture, which can make the skin look dull and flaky. People with dry skin are also more prone to fine lines and wrinkles. However, it is possible to keep dry skin looking soft and radiant with the right skincare and makeup routine.

Skincare Tips

1. Cleanse with a gentle, hydrating cleanser: Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser to avoid stripping your skin of its natural oils, like the Rose Water Gel Cleanser from 100% PURE.
2. Use a hydrating toner: Look for toners that contain hyaluronic acid or glycerin to help lock in moisture.
3. Use a rich moisturizer: Look for moisturizers like the Seaberry Moisturizer from 100% PURE that contains ingredients like shea butter, ceramides, or jojoba oil to deeply hydrate your skin.
4. Use a hydrating mask: Use a hydrating mask once or twice a week to give your skin an extra boost of moisture.

Makeup Tips

1. Use a hydrating primer: A hydrating primer, such as the Luminous Primer, will help to lock in moisture and keep your skin looking dewy all day.
2. Use a lightweight, hydrating foundation: Look for foundations that are specifically designed for dry skin, and avoid anything too matte or powdery.
3. Use cream products: Cream products are great for dry skin because they add moisture and help to create a dewy, radiant finish. Use cream blushes and bronzers to add color to your cheeks, and a cream highlighter to add a natural-looking glow to your skin.
4. Use a setting spray: A hydrating setting spray will help to lock in your makeup and keep your skin looking hydrated and dewy.

COMBINATION SKIN

Combination skin is characterized by both oily and dry areas on the face. People with combination skin may have an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and dry cheeks. It can be challenging to manage combination skin, but with the right skincare and makeup routine, it is possible to keep your skin looking balanced and healthy.

Skincare Tips

1. Cleanse with a gentle, balanced cleanser: Look for a cleanser that is gentle enough to use on dry areas, but still effective enough to remove excess oil from your T-zone. The favorite of our readers is the Green Tea Cloud Foam Cleanser from 100% PURE.
2. Use a balancing toner: Look for toners that contain both salicylic acid and hyaluronic acid to help control oil production and lock in moisture.
3. Use a lightweight, balancing moisturizer: Look for moisturizers that are lightweight and hydrating, but not too heavy for oily areas of your face.
4. Use a targeted treatment for oily areas: Use a targeted treatment, such as a spot treatment, on oily areas of your face to help control oil production and prevent breakouts.

Makeup Tips

1. Use a mattifying primer on oily areas: Use a mattifying primer on your T-zone to help control oil production and keep your makeup in place all day.
2. Use a lightweight, balancing foundation: Look for foundations that are designed for combination skin, and avoid anything too heavy or greasy.
3. Use powder products on oily areas: Use a matte powder on your T-zone to help control shine and keep your makeup in place. Use cream products on dry areas to add moisture and create a dewy finish.
4. Use a setting spray: Use a setting spray to help lock in your makeup and keep your skin looking balanced and healthy.

Skincare and makeup can be challenging to navigate, especially when you are dealing with oily, dry, or combination skin. However, with the right routine, it is possible to keep your skin looking its best.

Remember to always cleanse and moisturize your skin, and choose products that are specifically designed for your skin type. With a little bit of patience and experimentation, you can find the perfect skincare and makeup routine for your skin type and achieve the beautiful, healthy-looking skin you deserve.
