Skipping matte foundations in winter: Tip of the Day 11-15-22

Winter time is an ideal time to prioritize moisturizer. Cold wind and dry air caused by central heating and cooling systems can wreak havoc on skin, especially if you're prone to flare ups from eczema. Even your makeup foundation can add to your dry skin problems if you're not careful. That's why, when temperatures drop, experts recommend ditching matte foundations.

If you're not someone who uses primer, try applying your foundation immediately after applying your facial moisturizer. Some recommend mixing a little moisturizer into your foundation. If your skin is excessively dry, dab a little facial oil into your beauty blender before blending your foundation.

Bonus tip: Using a room humidifier will add moisture to the air and help keep eczema flares at bay.
