What is the best make-up for dry skin, without making your face really oily?

Question

What is the best make-up for dry skin, without making your face really oily? Also my hair gets oily really fast, so what kind of shampoo would help keep the oil under control?

Answer 1

for face makeup, put lotion on your face, wait about 5 minutes and then apply the makeup.
Shampoo daily with a clarifying shampoo.
Best wishes!

Answer 2

To moisturise your dry skin try Trilogy Rose Hip Oil, Although it sounds a bit scary to put oil onto your face, it is such a fine, easily absorbed oil that it won’t leave you feeling greasy. In terms of make-up, I would go for a light powder foundation because this will help to control the oil and is fine for young skin (I wouldn’t recommend powder foundation for dry older skins) Try The Body Shop All-in-one Face Base.This dual purpose base can be worn dry for a light, matte powder finish or wet if you want more coverage. For oily hair the new Sunsilk Fresh for Longer range, is perfect. The shampoo and trigger spray conditioner will help keep hair fresh for up to 48 hours.

Answer 3

For the make-up: Skip it. At least don't bother with blush, foundation, and powder. If you fear shine and you must use a very light dusting of corn powder with a brush. Dip it in the powder then tap it off. Enough will remain on the brush to control shine.

If you still feel a need to wear eye and lip make-up wash only your lips and eyes being very careful to keep the clenser away from the rest of your face.

For the rest of your face: wash it once, maybe twice, a week. The rest of the week just rince it with warm, but not hot, water.

It sounds counter-intuitive, I know. The pores on your face are actually pretty good at self-cleansing. They release oils which clean out the pores and moisturize your skin. When you wash regularly, even with moisturizing cleansers, you remove your skin's natural ability to take care of itself. If you do it twice a day you are ********* it bare. This will both make your skin dryer and increase oil production as well as increse your vulnerability to infections (acne).

For the first week you may see an increse in acne while your skin adjusts. Don't fight it. Don't pick at it. Once your skin gets used to its natural condition it should balance out.

The same may well apply to your hair. If you wash it every day (or more) you are ********* its natural defenses. In response your pores produce more oil to make up for the loss. In any event washing your hair everyday dries out the hair, no matter how oily, making it more vulnerable to split ends and breakage.

Learn to trust your body to know how to take care of itself.

Answer 4

use pressed powder/foundation w/ moisturisers and facial cleanser w/ moisturisers. a shower gel can ba a substitute for lotion w./c is so sticky. try getting a hair spa cause you might have dandruff or use an anti-dandruff shampoo. don't condition your hair all the time, at least twice a week. don't put conditioner on hair near the scalp just at the tips or better yet just use a leave-on conditioner so that it's easier to apply on the hair by just brushing w/ a comb.

How To Care For Dry Skin

Steps
Begin addressing the outside issue by finding a moisturizing cream that is rich but not overly heavy. If your moisturizer burns, find something else. Many people would additionally recommend avoiding products with petroleum products including mineral oil, as they may not absorb well.
Creams that include soothing ingredients like chamomile and aloe vera are excellent for handling dryness and redness at the same time.
Now you should consider the inside treatment – take a good hard look at your diet and determine exactly how healthy that is. Make sure that you drink sufficient fluids as well.
Nourishing dry skin both inside and out is the best approach to healing. When your skin has the necessary nutrients and can use them in cell repair and rebuilding, the outside appearance will improve exponentially. You even get a nice bonus through improved health.



Tips
Make a few changes in your routine and watch as your skin becomes vibrant and healthy in a matter of few weeks.
Pure Almond Oil is wonderful as a moisturizer.
After washing your face with your preferred cleanser, apply a couple drops of Pure Almond Oil to each side of your clean face. Then wet your clean hands with warm water and smooth the oil evenly all over your face, including around tender eye areas. You'll love what this does for your face.
After your face is dry, you can apply your makeup.

How to Take Care of Dry Skin
Dry skin has a low level of sebum and can be prone to sensitivity. The skin has a parched look caused by its inability to retain moisture. It usually feels "tight" and uncomfortable after washing unless some type of moisturizer or skin cream is applied. Chapping and cracking are signs of extremely dry, dehydrated skin.

Steps
Avoid the use of tap water when cleansing dry skin. The deposits are too drying on the skin. Use mineral water to freshen your face.
Apply a spray of mineral water on your skin misted on with a plant sprayer every morning and pat your skin dry.
Cleanse your dry skin regularly. Make sure your skin gets extra careful protection. Washing dry skin with soap and water not only removes grime but also the natural oils protecting the skin. A moisturizer increases the water content of the outer layers of the skin and gives it a soft, moist look.
Use non detergent, neutral-pH products to cleanse your skin. Avoid using any commercial soap. And always touch your face gently. Double-cleanse with a cream, leaving a light, thin trace of it on the skin after the second cleansing.
Follow a bath or a shower with a mild application of baby oil. Massage your face with home-made nourishing cream every night before retiring. Be generous with the cream in the areas surrounding the eyes where tiny lines and crows feet are born.
Avoid coming in contact with highly alkaline soaps and detergents like washing sodas and powders which contain highly alkaline and drying ingredients.
Moisten with water, then apply a thin film of air-excluding moisturizer, this will restore the suppleness of the dry skin.



Tips
Beauty Mask for Dry Skin (mix the ingredients thoroughly and use as a mask):
1 egg
1 teaspoon of honey,
1/2 teaspoon of olive oil
few drops of rose water
Night Moisturizing
After you clean and tone your skin, apply a splash of water or a water-misting. Pat almost dry with a soft towel, then smooth moisturizer from bosom to hairline. Allow five minutes for immediate absorption (cover your face and throat with warm washcloths to hasten penetration), then blot off any excess moisturizer with a tissue.
Men can skip the toner but should moisturize the delicate skin around the eye area.
Day Moisturizing
Apply a touch of your natural moisturizer over the freshly cleansed, toned, and dampened skin on your throat, cheeks, and around your eyes. Men should follow a two-step process. Apply moisturizer immediately after shaving. Wait ten minutes. Then moisturize again.
Once a week, take a milk bath. It will nourish and smoothen your skin. Warm your bath water and put in 250 gram of powdered milk, half tablespoon of almond oil and a few drops of your favorite perfume. Then just lie in it and let your mind wander while the wholesome foam works wonders on your dry skin.



Warnings
Never use hot water when cleansing dry skin.
Don't use a washcloth because a rough texture can irritate.
