When choosing the right foundation for mature skin, there are certain product qualities to look for, such as being lightweight to give a natural look while providing coverage.
Mature Skin
Signs of aging in mature skin like sun spots and fine lines are natural, but the right foundation can still help, whether temporarily or in the long run. Look for ones with antioxidants and moisturizers to boost collagen and reduce wrinkles. Opt for a formula that blurs texture, blends discoloration, and does not settle into lines. Hydration is key, so choose a foundation that adds moisture and radiance, all the while being lightweight.
Lightweight Foundation
Unavoidably, mature skin would have creases and lines. Experts suggest lightweight foundation products, such as those in this list, so that excess product won't build up in areas with wrinkles. Lightweight foundation would then still give your skin coverage while looking like natural skin.
