Just as the moisturizer you used in your 20s and 30s likely needs an upgrade once you hit your 40s and beyond, the same is true of foundation. As we age, our skin becomes drier and thinner while also losing collagen and elasticity. That, combined with the long-term effects of gravity and sun exposure, causes sagging, fine lines, as well as hyperpigmentation. The other feature that tends to shift with the passage of time is the tint of our complexion. lot of people lose color in their face as they age; their color can become more sallow.
Luckily, the market is chock-full of foundations for mature skin, from full-coverage foundation to foundation for dry skin. Every bottle offers a unique blend of benefits for your skin concern, whether it’s wrinkles, dullness, enlarged pores, or age spots. What’s more, many are infused with the very same age-defying ingredients that are commonly found in your anti-aging serums and moisturizers — such as hyaluronic acid and vitamin C — to improve texture and tone while providing the coverage you’re after for a glowing, youthful-looking complexion. Keep in mind that you can’t use a foundation to fill in fine lines or prominent pores, but you can use it to even out tonality and make skin look fresh and hydrated Top tip: No matter which foundation you pick, think about “bouncing” it along the surface of your complexion with a sponge or brush as you apply it, rather than pulling or tugging, which can further damage the collagen and elastin in your skin.
Best Foundation for Women Over 60
Foundation that is very thick will require more time and effort to apply. Thick foundation can also leave creases, look cakey, and draw undesired attention to lines and wrinkles on mature skin.
Look for a foundation that has added moisturizers and that is designed for older skin. Additionally, the price of the foundation doesn’t necessarily equate to quality. Many drugstore brands offer outstanding products at very affordable prices.
