Foundation Recommendation for Acne-Prone Skin
Question
I need a foundation recommendation for acne-prone skin. I want it to help cover acne marks and not cause significant irritation.
It doesn't need to be thick, perfectly smooth, or feel heavy on the face.
Answer
For those with acne-prone and sensitive skin who want a foundation that helps cover acne marks without irritation or feeling heavy, we recommend looking for a Mineral Foundation.
Key ingredients often found in Mineral Foundation that are suitable for acne-prone/sensitive skin include:
- Titanium Dioxide: Helps to cover uneven skin tone and acne marks. There are various grades specifically used for makeup, which provide good coverage without causing irritation.
- Zinc Oxide: In addition to providing coverage, it has properties that help soothe the skin and reduce inflammation, making it especially suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin. It is also less likely to clog pores than some chemical ingredients.
Foundations using these ingredients typically provide physical coverage, sitting on the skin rather than being absorbed, which reduces the chance of irritation or clogging.
Therefore, if you are looking for a foundation for acne-prone skin that provides good coverage for acne marks, doesn't feel heavy, and is non-irritating, you should consider foundations with Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide as key ingredients.
